Alex Pretti, Kyle Rittenhouse and the Second Amendment: Bringing a gun to a protest

Описание: The deadly shooting of Alex Pretti in Minneapolis over the weekend at the hands of U.S. Border Patrol agents has sparked questions surrounding constitutional rights.

Some people, like President Donald Trump, believe Pretti should not have brought a gun to a protest, while others said it was his Second Amendment right to be armed.

FOX 11 spoke with Howard Schweber, University of Wisconsin-Madison professor emeritus of political science and legal studies, who told us Pretti was within his rights.

Rob Kovach, president of Wisconsin Firearm Owners, agrees.

Many are now drawing comparisons between Pretti and Kyle Rittenhouse, who shot three people -- two fatally -- with an assault rifle at a protest in Kenosha in 2020. Kovach believes the two incidents aren't comparable.

Schweber argued as far as the Second Amendment is concerned, there's no distinction between Pretti's and Rittenhouse's situations. However, he believes there still are huge differences with the two incidents.

Schweber said Pretti didn't need to inform officers ahead of time that he had a gun, and whether or not Pretti had a permit with him doesn't alter his constitutional right. He believes Pretti's First, Second, Fourth and Fifth Amendment rights were infringed upon.

Schweber said he didn't see anything in the video that indicated Pretti committing a criminal act. Meanwhile, Kovach urged good discretion for those exercising Second Amendment rights and recommended avoiding violent situations.
