The mask has officially come off, patriots. After years of demanding gun confiscation, magazine limits, and red flag laws, Democrats are now crying "Second Amendment violation" over the Alex Pretti shooting - and their hypocrisy is breathtaking.
Pretti, who confronted federal law enforcement officers while armed with a loaded weapon and carrying extra ammunition, is being painted by the radical left as some kind of constitutional martyr. These are the same Democrats who want to strip law-abiding Americans of their gun rights for far less threatening behavior.
Where was this passionate defense of the Second Amendment when they were targeting peaceful gun owners? Where were these constitutional scholars when Biden's ATF was raiding homes and confiscating legally purchased firearms?
The Left's Selective Constitutional Memory
For four years under the Biden regime, Democrats weaponized every federal agency against gun owners. They pushed universal background checks, assault weapon bans, and ammunition restrictions. They celebrated when law enforcement confiscated firearms from Americans who committed no crimes.
But now, when someone actually threatens federal officers with a loaded weapon, suddenly they're constitutional purists? The mental gymnastics would be impressive if they weren't so transparently dishonest.
"This isn't about the Second Amendment - this is about the left's desperate attempt to undermine law enforcement whenever it suits their political agenda," observed one constitutional law expert.
The truth is clear: Democrats don't actually support gun rights. They support chaos. They support anything that allows them to attack the institutions that keep Americans safe while simultaneously disarming the very citizens who need protection most.
America First Means Constitutional Consistency
Under President Trump's leadership, Americans are seeing real respect for the Second Amendment - not the selective, politically motivated version the left peddles when convenient. The Trump-Vance administration understands that constitutional rights come with constitutional responsibilities.
Real patriots defend the Second Amendment for law-abiding citizens, not for those who use firearms to threaten law enforcement. The difference couldn't be clearer, and neither could the left's stunning hypocrisy.
How long will Americans tolerate Democrats picking and choosing which constitutional rights matter based on their political needs?
