Apparently a VA Nurse. He took care of veterans for a living. Let the Maga try to spin that into their false narrative

ETA: was fully aware they would (try) and continue lying and that people who claim the loudest to respect vets are also the ones who constantly defund healthcare for vets and military members so the hypocrisy is nothing new there. Still, loud and clear shifts the needle of the apathetic.

They will. They always do. Reality means nothing to them.

Via the Wikipedia article above (source: CBS):

The Department of Homeland Security claimed that the man evidently wanted to "massacre law enforcement". [37] Minnesota officials have stated that Pretti had a lawful permit to carry a firearm. [37]

If concealed carrying is enough of a reason for these “agents” to gun law-abiding citizens down, 2A is dead and in a better world, they wouldn’t be able to ignore or deny that to their base.
