Gun rights groups blast Trump over Minnesota response

The killing of Alex Pretti by federal immigration agents in Minnesota has led to a rare rebuke of top Trump administration officials by leading 2nd Amendment advocates.

Multiple national gun-rights organizations, as well as a prominent Minnesota gun rights group, have expressed horror at top Trump administration officials' criticism of Pretti for being armed with a handgun that he had a legal permit to carry.

"The FBI director needs to brush off that thing called the Constitution, because he clearly hasn't read it," National Association for Gun Rights President Dudley Brown told POLITICO. "I know of no more crucial place to carry a firearm for self defense than a protest."
