Orgo-Life the new way to the future Advertising by AdpathwayDonald Trump seemed to suggest limits to the Second Amendment on Tuesday, but rather than support, the president’s comments inspired snark, sarcasm and accusations of hypocrisy on social media.
Trump told reporters that Alex Pretti, who was gunned down by federal agents in Minneapolis on Saturday, shouldn’t have brought his registered handgun when he went to document the actions of agents in the city.
“You can’t walk in with guns,” Trump said while boarding Marine One for a flight to Iowa, doubling down when another reporter brought up the Second Amendment, which allows people to carry guns in public.
“You can’t walk in with guns. You can’t do that. It’s just a very unfortunate incident,” he said.
Trump’s slight break from the typical support of the Second Amendment comes a day after FBI Director Kash Patel incorrectly claimed on Fox News that protesters cannot bring loaded firearms to demonstrations.

The president’s suggestion that the Second Amendment actually has limits comes 10 months after his administration removed an advisory identifying gun violence as a public health issue, and a U.S. Appeals court ruling earlier this month that California’s ban on openly carrying firearms in most parts of the state was unconstitutional.
Many folks on social media pointed out the hypocrisy.
Trump is attacking the 2nd amendment rights of licensed concealed carry holders who all go through background checks and routinely carry a concealed firearm like they carry a wallet. https://t.co/nN4gCXp2Kg

There you have it folks, you can't have guns. The possibility this sack of shit attempts to run for a third term is very real and if he plans to do so, expect more anti-gun rhetoric. https://t.co/NIgFFwvFNd
