President Donald Trump appeared to break with Second Amendment advocates who have backed Alex Pretti’s legal carry of a gun during protests in Minnesota on Saturday, telling reporters Tuesday, “You can’t walk in with guns” when asked about a Border Patrol agent’s fatal shooting of Pretti.
“You can't walk in with guns,” Trump said, adding, “You can't do that,” before calling the shooting of Pretti a “very unfortunate incident."
Trump’s rhetoric was similar to that of Los Angeles-based federal prosecutor Bill Essayli, who tweeted over the weekend that, “If you approach law enforcement with a gun, there is a high likelihood they will be legally justified in shooting you.”
