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 |
| "And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? [...] The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!" —Alexander Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago (Chapter 1 "Arrest") |
