Trump says "you can't have guns" after Border Patrol shoots licensed gun owner Pretti

Speaking to reporters before departing for Iowa, President Trump called the killing of Alex Pretti — a licensed gun owner with no criminal record — "a very unfortunate incident" but said "You can't have guns. You can't walk in with guns." The statement went further than previous administration comments, which had framed the shooting as self-defense against an armed threat. The NRA and multiple gun rights organizations publicly split with Trump, questioning whether his statement implied Second Amendment rights were suspended at protest sites.
