00:00U.S. President Donald Trump is facing pushback from gun rights groups.
00:05That's after he said Tuesday that ICU nurse Alex Peretti, who was killed by an ICE agent in Minneapolis,
00:11should not have been carrying a gun before the altercation with federal officers.
00:15I don't like that he had a gun. I don't like that he had two fully loaded magazines. That's a lot of bad stuff.
00:20Peretti was licensed to carry a concealed weapon.
00:23Videos taken by bystanders of his shooting showed that Peretti never touched his gun before being fatally shot by ICE agents,
00:30contradicting early claims by Trump administration officials that he was a threat to law enforcement.
00:36The gun owners of America Group said it was not happy with Trump's remarks,
00:40saying that Americans have the right to carry firearms, even while protesting.
00:45The clash comes as Republicans head toward the midterm elections, with gun rights voters among the party's most loyal blocs.
