It’s not often that I agree with the National Rifle Association or with President Donald Trump. But last week I found myself agreeing with both at the same time.
After the shooting death of Alex Pretti by ICE agents in Minneapolis, Trump said, “You can’t walk in with guns. You can’t do that. … Certainly, he shouldn’t have been carrying a gun.”
The NRA and other gun-rights organizations took exception, noting that — in their view — the right to bear arms is guaranteed by the Constitution and that Pretti had a legal permit to carry a weapon, in full compliance with Minnesota law. |

| Alex was murdered in cold blood. So was Renee. Federal armies are dangerous. As we know from Waco/Ruby Ridge et al. |

TO REMEMBER |
| After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. — Alexis de Tocqueville |
