President Donald Trump was confronted after he responded to the shooting of 37-year-old Alex Pretti by insisting that "you can't have guns."

Before a trip to Iowa on Tuesday, Trump took questions from reporters about Pretti's killing at the hands of federal agents.

"I'm looking at that whole situation. I love everybody. I love all of our people. I love his family," Trump said of Pretti. "And it's a very sad situation."

"You know, you can't have guns," he added. "You can't walk in with guns."

"What about the Second Amendment?" a reporter shouted.

"You can't walk in with guns," Trump repeated. "You can't do that. It's very unfortunate."
