The fatal shooting of 37-year-old Alex Jeffrey Pretti by Border Patrol agents in Minneapolis has ignited a debate among gun rights groups regarding lawful carry and anti-law enforcement rhetoric. Pretti, armed with a 9mm pistol and protesting an immigration operation, allegedly resisted attempts to disarm him. While he held a legal Permit to Carry and had no criminal record, the Minnesota Gun Owners Caucus called for a thorough investigation, contrasting the NRA’s blame on Democratic leaders for inciting violence. The incident is under investigation by DHS and the FBI.
