The National Association of Firearms requests an investigation into the killing of Alex Pretti, shot by federal agents in Minneapolis, emphasizing that he had a gun permit and was not a threat.

The National Rifle Association (NRA) has joined other lobbying groups in calling for a full investigation into the killing of Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old nurse, who was fatally shot by federal agents in Minneapolis. The incident was justified by the Department of Homeland Security as an attack, claiming that Pretti posed a threat, although video recordings do not show that he had a weapon in hand. The NRA criticized statements from officials suggesting that the agents had legal justification to shoot at a person who was legally carrying a firearm.

There have also been calls for a transparent investigation, emphasizing citizens' rights to bear arms. Witnesses stated that Pretti did not threaten the agents, and groups like the Minnesota Gun Owners Caucus have called for clarifications to maintain public trust in justice. The NRA and other organizations have highlighted the importance of protecting the right to bear arms, in the context of an election campaign in which Trump promised to defend these rights.
