1. He's a NYC city boy

He hates that anyone outside his family or tight circle of syophants can have a gun. He'll grudgingly allow loyalists in the police to have them but he's still not comfortable with that because he hasn't personally vetted them as being his assets.

IOW, "his people" need guns to defend him so they get to have them. Fuck everybody else. That's entirely consistent for a malignant narcissist.

-----------I don't know why Pretti had a gun and 2 full magazines with him, supposedly in his backpack. The point is that the gun was not in his hand and its presence was no threat to the thugs who were beating a woman he was trying to help. He might have been on his way to a firing range. He might have been threatened by a local pack of street punks. He might have picked up a stalker (one of those job hazards they don't tell you about in nursing school). Maybe he was going to shoot rats at the city dump It doesn't matter, the presence of a gun in a backpack is not a justification for summary execution. The fact that neither FATSo nor his inner circle get s that is very, very telling when it comes to the 2A.
