Minnesota shooting blurs political lines around guns

Category: News & Politics
Duration: 00:17:16
Publish Date: 2026-01-29 21:15:01
Description: Alex Pretti was carrying a permitted gun when he had a confrontation with federal agents who ultimately shot and killed him. While the Trump administration pointed to his gun as a reason for agents to fear for their safety, pro-gun groups argued Pretti had a right to carry. We discuss the rhetoric around guns and how marginalized communities in Minneapolis have been increasingly turning toward gun ownership.


This episode: senior White House correspondent Tamara Keith, domestic extremism correspondent Odette Yousef, and senior political editor and correspondent Mara Liasson.


This podcast was produced and edited by Lexie Schapitl and Bria Suggs.


Our executive producer is Muthoni Muturi.
