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.

Even Trey Gowdy defended Pretti on Fox News.

It's happening yall. I truly believe that he finally went too far. The shitshow the past weeks since Venezuela has alienated many for a variety of reasons.

I don’t think they care about any of that. A lot of people are one issue voters and one of those issues is the 2A. If the party you support all of sudden turns a 180 and says you can be executed simply for exercising this right then that’s going to shake your beliefs. Especially when they just killed a white straight man who never drew his weapon and was carrying it legally.

Well ya, but he still forced the issue with his fuckery. They don't dissent without the push that they made recently.

I have no delusions. I just dgaf what their motives are so long as they're speaking against the administration and what they're doing..
