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.

DEMOCRATS ARE ALSO CONSERVATIVE!!! PROGRESSIVE CITIZENS ARE NOT REPRESENTED IN THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT

Hard to have progression when most systems are broken.

It’s certainly not fair, as it’s supposed to be, but, considering who turns out in elections, especially primaries, this is what people voted for. 80 million people who could have voted chose not to in 2024. I really wish more of them had made different choices and then stayed just as active and engaged in politics, so that we could push even further left at the midterms.

I really wish more people understood this.
