Second Amendment advocates are furious with President Trump and are threatening to sit out the November midterms. Politico reported that the core issue stems from President Trump’s remarks regarding Alex Pretti, who was legally carrying a licensed firearm when he was killed by federal agents last week. The president insisted Pretti “should not have been carrying a gun.”
The statement sent shockwaves through the gun rights community, which often views the White House as the most pro-Second Amendment administration in history. It completely undercuts the very principles gun rights groups fight for, leaving advocates “furious,” and insisting that they “will not come out and vote.”
