What is your opinion of President Trump's comment about guns (see details)?

[Anonymous]

The following text was copied from a Fox News article (https://www.foxnews.com/politics/national-rifle-association-counters-trump-carrying-gun-protest ) :

"You can’t have guns. You can’t walk in with guns," Trump said to reporters at the White House on Tuesday.

[AviatorTom]

He's talking about people entering the White House, where it's perfectly reasonable to restrict guns.
The 2nd amendment covers a person's right to bear arms, it doesn't say they can have any type of gun in any place they want. Reasonable limitations, like no weapon zones in and around schools, are reasonable, and legal.

I’m curious if the Jan 6th protestors had weapons at the time?

Kyle Rittenhouse walked into a protest with a rifle and shot three people. He walks free today.

Alex Pretti had a handgun holstered and was not reaching for it. He was disarmed then executed by federal agents.

Trump means that the only people that can’t have guns are the ones that don’t agree with Trump.

Kyle lowered his weapon and raised his hands and when he was found to have lawfully used his weapon in self defense they let him go home. Petti attacked the feds and was killed for it. Whoops. Someone is fucking stupid and now he is dead.

[SecretsofKB]

@qwerty2469 lol. Pretti did not attack the agents. They approached him and then short him when he was on his hands and knees. Nice try though.

[katiesmuff]

Well I am sure he has fucked himself with the NRA which is predominantly made up of his MAGA base. Not sure how he is going backstep this stupid comment.

[Telekinetic-Potato]

Both sides are right. It's bad faith and dishonest to bring a gun to a peaceful protest.

However, we have a right to do so and it must be protected.

Everyone's playing their roles

My thoughts are that the people who agrees with him disagrees politically with the leftists bitching about Alex Pretti and that people who disagree with him disagrees politically with the leftists who where bitching about Rittenhouse not being found guilty.

By making it so that people either disagree with leftists or leftists my thoughts allows peoples opinions to truly be taken the way they to be taken.

[Chazmatazz269]

It’s ignorant and hypocritical, but his words don’t reflect his policies and practices at all. The second amendment has never been better protected in the modern era.

Kyle Rittenhouse was set free because the jury of his peers decided he was innocent. We are country of laws and we need to abide by them.

LMAO Moron Trump. You can't bring a gun to a protest if you're protesting ME, even if you have a legal right to carry it. LMAO

Trump hates the 1st Amendment and 2nd Amendment , he hate the Constitution.

[exitseven]

this quote was taken out of context. He was referring to bringing loaded weapons to a protest.

[Asker]

And you agree with that?

[msc545]

It is not illegal to bring a loaded weapon to a protest. Read the Second Amendment instead of making things up that you'd like.

[qwerty2469]

In Minnesota it IS illegal to bring a loaded gun to a protest. Ask Tim Walz. It's his law.

[msc545]

@qwerty2469 Okay, go ahead and cite the exact text of that supposed law, please, because I think you're wrong. Minnesota allows individuals with a valid permit to carry a pistol to carry firearms in public, whether concealed or openly carried.

According to legal experts and Minnesota gun-rights organizations, state law does not expressly prohibit a permit holder from carrying a loaded firearm (including with magazines) at a public protest or rally.

Multiple fact-checks found that statements claiming it is illegal to bring a loaded gun to a protest in Minnesota conflict with actual state law.

You cannot make or enforce a law that conflicts with the Second Amendment of the Constitution, and Minnesota has not done so.

[Anonymous]

Trump is right.

[Asker]

Why is he right?

[Opinion Owner]

You shouldn't bring guns to violent protests.
