"Republicans have long-extolled the inviolability of 2nd Amendment, pushed for concealed carry laws, and subverted attempts to impose even minimal restrictions on gun owners. They turned Kyle Rittenhouse, an armed protestor who killed two unarmed people in Wisconsin, into a national hero."
~ Jennifer Rubin

"Well, that only applies to their own supporters, it seems. FBI director Kash Patel falsely stated on Sunday, “You cannot bring a firearm, loaded, with multiple magazines, to any sort of protest that you want. It’s that simple.” That is a lie."

"Minnesota has a concealed carry law that gun owners do not lose when they attend a rally. (Perhaps Trump should not have pardoned the armed, violent Jan. 6 protestors; perhaps they should not have lionized Rittenhouse.)"

For all the social media armchair warriors and gun fanatics now blaming Alex Pretti for his murder because he was legally carrying a gun to a protest that he never touched, Zeteo has a salient list of times these very same little fellows were praising folks openly displaying guns at protests:

"In social media posts and interviews, officials including FBI Director Kash Patel, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and even Treasury Secretary Scott Bessett have falsely argued that Pretti’s mere possession of a gun or an extra magazine was illegal or evidence of his nefarious intent."

"The coordinated messages indicate that the administration believes that attacking Pretti’s gun carry is its best chance of justifying his killing to the public, but those talking points have already sparked backlash from some of Trump’s closest allies: gun-rights activists."

"For MAGA, authoritarianism is clearly the highest value, and even earlier commitments to gun rights can fall by the wayside. Mixed in with the authoritarianism is tribalism. The right believes in gun rights, but only for the right sort of people."

"Much more tragic are the ordinary-folks footsoldiers dutifully coming out to defend the ICE shooting. I can barely think of anything more beaten than spending the day typing variations on the theme of 'it is good that law enforcement officers in my country shoot civilians who are no threat'. What a bunch of bootlickers. They might be too far gone to see it, but much of the rest of the world can."

Truly, I am the country’s biggest fan. But in the spirit of free speech its leaders apparently love, here’s a few things the rest of the world needs them to know, says Guardian columnist Marina Hyde
"At first the series of rhetorical flip-flops may seem nonsensical — as if the world is upside down — but all of them are consistent with decades of evolution of white nationalist ideology and the far-right movement, which isn’t against tyranny per se, just tyranny by the 'wrong people': Democrats, women, or minorities."
~ Garrett Graff

"And now, looking across the American landscape, those far-right white nationalists feel comfortable flipping their rhetoric because they recognize the Trump administration is doing their business for them. The government is their kind of extremist now."
"As Trump left the White House earlier today, he made a stunning remark. After years of demagoguery around guns and the Second Amendment, Trump said, 'You can’t just walk into places or be in public and have a gun or a concealed carry.' Where are all those Second Amendment People now?"

"Donald Trump has started a firestorm within the Republican Party today suggesting that Alex Pretti should not have carried a firearm, despite him being legally able to do so. Gun rights activists have now come out in droves to condemn the President over the remarks exposing a major internal rift."

Good evening everyone.
@wdlindsy
#DonaldTrump has started a firestorm within the #RepublicanParty today suggesting that #AlexPretti should not have carried a firearm...
Also, #Turmp said he had "two full magazines" "who takes a gun to a protest?"
1. How does he know there were extra 9mm clips?
2. The #JimmyKimmel Jan 26 2026 show had these #MAGA protest images
