After federal agents shot and killed Alex Pretti, who was very well armed, Patel said this:
“No one who wants to be peaceful shows up at a protest with a firearm that is loaded with two full magazines,” Patel said during an interview on FOX. “That is not a peaceful protest, and you do not get to touch law enforcement. You do that anywhere; this FBI is going to be leading the charge to arrest those.”
Respectfully, Director Patel, millions of law-abiding American gun owners strongly disagree.
The Second Amendment guarantees our right to be armed—period—full stop. There is no “protest clause,” which cancels it out, or any ammunition limit.
