  1. Look here. If you’re doing something violent and illegal to begin with, the last thing you want is armed citizens around you. /s

  2. Pretti was not a good gun owner.

    When you have a concealed gun permit, you have to abide by rules governing the where, when, and how of carrying a firearm.

    Pretti took a gun to a very emotional protest, did not bring identification, and was carrying three magazines, which is really weird. Taken together, I wonder if this was the result he wanted.

  3. If just having a pistol (exercising a Civil Right) justifies a extra-judicial killing, we don’t have civil rights anymore and our nation is not one where the rule of law applies. If that is the official stance of the Government, we no longer have a Government of the People. It’s nothing but anarchy and armed thugs.

    Is that what we’re going for, here?

  4. Ive had my CC for 15 years now; he did nothing wrong and was murdered after his gun was taken.
