American citizen Pretti was shot dead by ICE agents at a protest in Minneapolis over the weekend. The incident sparked strong reactions, and initially officials in the Trump administration said Pretti, who had a license and was carrying a holstered gun, was a suspected murderer.
When Trump was asked if he agreed with this, he said no, but added that "You can't go in there with weapons."
This has prompted anger among several Republican members of Congress, as well as the country's powerful, well-funded gun organizations. That is because the right to bear arms is constitutionally protected in the United States.
