And of course, what happened five years before that is George Floyd was killed and then

widespread protests broke out.

So we've talked a little bit about who is deciding to arm themselves.

But can we talk a little bit about why?

What are people telling you?

Yeah, I want to get back to President Trump's response here when he was asked about the shooting.

Trump said that Freddie should not have had a firearm at the time of his death.

Now, we should say that he had a permit to carry, but President Trump said he shouldn't have had it.

This is him on The Will Cain Show on Fox News.

So, Mara, what the president said there, that's not something you'd expect to hear from a president endorsed three times by the NRA.

And he's not the only one.

Many in the president's orbit have been very focused on Preti's gun.

Odette, do you have a sense of whether the president's statement there and others have been well received among the gun rights community?

Yeah, I do want to say that yesterday on the pod, we talked about how President Trump's messaging around the shooting was shifting.

But his administration's policies are not.

And that also seems to be the case here.

We've got no reason to believe that there will be a policy change around gun laws, right?

All right.

Well, we're going to take a quick break and we'll have more in a moment.

And we're back.
