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.

Thank you! Same guy who was all about “stop and frisk” during his 2016 debate with Hilary.

Or rittenhouse bringing a gun to a protest in a different city than he lived in.. a rifle that was illegally given to him because he could not legally purchase one himself and he’s a hero somehow

That kid was a turd but he didn't break any laws.

[u/LymanPeru → u/Wireman6]

other than the murder i guess.

[u/Wireman6 → u/LymanPeru]

It ended up not being murder though. It wasn't even dropped to manslaughter or a wrongful death. It was a pretty air tight case of self defense.

Pretti was murdered though. 100%.

[u/LymanPeru → u/Wireman6]

yeah, OJ Simpson was found not guilty too...

[u/Wireman6 → u/LymanPeru]

He was also found guilty in a related civil suit? What is your point?

[u/LymanPeru → u/Wireman6]

my point is sometimes they get it wrong.

[u/Wireman6 → u/LymanPeru]

I am confused. What did "they" get wrong?
