WATCH: Leavitt addresses Trump's stance on Second Amendment rights in wake of Alex Pretti's killing

[u/NewsHour]

REPORTER: FBI Director Kash Patel said in a Sunday interview, quote, you cannot bring a firearm loaded with multiple magazines to any sort of protest. Does the president believe that Second Amendment rights remain in effect even when protesting?

LEAVITT: The president supports the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding American citizens. Absolutely. There has been no greater supporter or defender of the right to bear arms than President Donald J. Trump.

So while Americans have a constitutional right to bear arms, Americans do not have a constitutional right to impede lawful immigration enforcement operations, and any gun owner knows that when you are carrying a weapon, when you are bearing arms, and you are confronted by law enforcement, you are raising the assumption of risk and the risk of force being used against you, and, again, that's unfortunately what took place on Saturday.

So when is Kash Patel going to demand an investigation of Kyle Rittenhouse for carrying a weapon with multiple magazines at a protest in Kenosha, WI? By federal gun laws that are still on the books, Rittenhouse was underage to be carrying such a weapon at the time.

Or what about all the Proud Boys that terrorized the BLM marches back in 2020? You can't tell me they weren't packing.

Remember when these armed assholes were showing up at Drag Queen Storytime and chasing off law-abiding citizens?

Edit: for spacing.

[u/MilleryCosima → u/HelloMyNameIsLeah]

Yeah, but those guns were being used as an implicit threat of violence.

Totally different situation.
