I Got It on Me: What Is That All About?

[DISCLAIMER]

*Unique disclaimer: Nothing contained in this post is meant to serve as advice. Likewise, nothing expressed herein is intended to promote violence. Also, when reading this post, you’re invited to use personal responsibility and accountability regarding your personal perspective(s).

When serving in the United States (U.S.) Marine Corps (1996-2007), my primary military occupational specialty (MOS) was military police (MP). That low-tier federal law enforcement position required firearms proficiency (the capability to accurately handle and shoot firearms).

My secondary MOS was Marine Security Guard. That was a diplomatic security position which involved my service on two SWAT-style military tactical teams. As such, I received a higher level of firearms manipulation training and experience than I received as an MP.

While still on active duty, until shortly after my discharge from the military, I worked in the field of nuclear security as a security police officer (2004-2008). At that time, I received the most advanced weapons and tactics training of all my service with or for the U.S. government.

It was during the latter position that I first received a Texas concealed handgun license, now officially called a license to carry. I maintain this license even though Texas is a constitutional carry state (either openly or concealed carrying of a handgun without a license or permit).

Aside from exceptions such as polling places on any voting days, schools outside of higher education, places of business with visible signage prohibiting handguns, businesses which derive 51% or more income from the sale of alcohol, etc., I likely have a firearm on me when in public.

This is my inalienable right (incapable of being alienated, surrendered, or transferred) under the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution that protects the right to keep and bear arms which was ratified on December 15, 1791, along with nine other articles of the U.S. Bill of Rights.

Noteworthy, the right to keep and bear arms “shall not be infringed” as a negative right. This means it obliges inaction. In other words, in a state of nature, one is born with an inalienable right to arm oneself. Therefore, no one should, must, or ought to take this right from you.

Because negative rights exist unless someone acts to negate them, it’s generally understood that the U.S. government shall not infringe upon or act to negate one’s ability to keep and bear arms. Thus, the government serves to protect this negative right, though it doesn’t grant this right.

Unfavorably, it appears as though U.S. President Donald Trump and members of his administration don’t comprehend this legal fact. For example, regarding the killing of Alex Pretti, Trump posted a Truth Social statement that expressed (in part):

This is the gunman’s [Pretti’s] gun, loaded (with two additional full magazines!), and ready to go – What is that all about? Where are the local Police? Why weren’t they allowed to protect ICE [U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement] Officers? The Mayor and the Governor called them off? It is stated that many of these Police were not allowed to do their job, that ICE had to protect themselves — Not an easy thing to do! […]

LET OUR ICE PATRIOTS DO THEIR JOB! 12,000 Illegal Alien Criminals, many of them violent, have been arrested and taken out of Minnesota. If they were still there, you would see something far worse than you are witnessing today [1/24/2026]!

Setting aside the incessant ramblings which are customary for Trump, I’ll address only two points from his post. For this, I’ll use thinking that is rational (in accordance with both logic and reason), which is how I approach the practice of Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT).

First, Trump stated, “This is the gunman’s gun, loaded (with two additional full magazines!), and ready to go – What is that all about?” The answer to this query is simple. Pretti was exercising his Second Amendment right, as it doesn’t matter if he had one or 20 magazines of ammunition.

It was the U.S. government’s obligation not to infringe that right (i.e., “shall not be infringed”). When I got it on me (i.e., when I’m carrying a sidearm), I don’t have only one magazine of ammunition with me. My firearm training informs this decision, as I have a right to bear arms.

Pretti had the same inalienable right. So, “What is that all about?” is a non sequitur (a statement, such as a response, that does not follow logically from or is not clearly related to anything previously said). According to one source, here’s how this irrelevant reasoning works:

Description: When the conclusion does not follow from the premises. In more informal reasoning, it can be when what is presented as evidence or reason is irrelevant or adds very little support to the conclusion.

Logical Form:

Claim A is made.

Evidence is presented for claim A.

Therefore, claim C is true.

Example: Trump displays the decedent’s firearm on Truth Social. People accurately present the Second Amendment as evidence in support of Pretti’s right to keep and bear arms. Trump then infers that “two additional full magazines” is somehow excessive.

Remarkably, Trump didn’t stop his irrational statement with use of a mere non sequitur. The president then shifted to illogical and unreasonable use of a red herring (something that distracts attention from the real issue). According to one source, here’s how this argument works:

Description: Attempting to redirect the argument to another issue to which the person doing the redirecting can better respond. While it is similar to the avoiding the issue fallacy, the red herring is a deliberate diversion of attention with the intention of trying to abandon the original argument.

Logical Form:

Argument A is presented by person 1.

Person 2 introduces argument B.

Argument A is abandoned.

Example: Trump criticizes the decedent for exercising his right to bear a firearm. People accurately present the Second Amendment as evidence in support of Pretti’s right to do so. Trump then diverts to asking, “What is that all about?” thus abandoning his original argument.

If a person isn’t aware of how irrational argumentation works, one may self-disturb with irrational beliefs about Trump’s challenge to the Second Amendment while the president supports ICE officials who killed Pretti. Yet, I got it on me. What’s that all about? Freedom!

As Pretti one stated when reading a script for a deceased military veteran, “Freedom is not free. We have to work at it, nurture it, protect it, and even sacrifice for it.” It appears as though Pretti understood what I advocated in a blogpost entitled Shadez of Oppression:

During a 1964 interview, el-Hajj Malik el-Shabazz (better known as Malcolm X) was asked about his perspective on the matter of freedom. Given the racial tensions of the civil rights movement, I appreciate the activist’s advocacy for personal ownership as he stated:

No Negro leaders have fought for civil rights. They have begged for civil rights. They have begged the white man for civil rights. They have begged the white man for freedom.

And anytime you beg another man to set you free, you’ll never be free! Freedom is something that you have to do for yourselves. And until the American Negro lets the white man know that we are really ready and willing to pay the price that is necessary for freedom, our people will always be walking around here as second-class citizens, or what you call 20th-century slaves.

[Interviewer: What price are you talking about, sir?] The price of freedom is death.

When in graduate school for social work, I delved deeper into the teachings of el-Shabazz to better understand oppression (unjust or cruel exercise of authority or power). […]

It may be true that the price of freedom is death. It may also be true that oppression is an inherent experience in life. Also, it may be true that some people thirst for power. These individuals may seek to oppress others after having once been members of the oppressed class.

Pretti likely understood that the tides of oppression wax and wane. From his own words, he also comprehended that freedom isn’t free. The price of freedom is death. Thus, I got it on me. Although I’m not looking to pay that expense any time soon, I am willing to pay it.

Second, Trump’s Truth Social post expressed a belief that was counterfactual (contrary to fact). For context, one source states of this topic:

Counterfactual thinking is a concept in psychology that involves the human tendency to create possible alternatives to life events that have already occurred; something that is contrary to what actually happened. Counterfactual thinking is, as it states: “counter to the facts”.

These thoughts consist of the “What if?” and the “If only…” that occur when thinking of how things could have turned out differently. Counterfactual thoughts include things that – in the present – could not have happened because they are dependent on events that did not occur in the past.

Specifically, Trump stated in his post, “LET OUR ICE PATRIOTS DO THEIR JOB! 12,000 Illegal Alien Criminals, many of them violent, have been arrested and taken out of Minnesota. If they were still there, you would see something far worse than you are witnessing today.”

It’s illogical and unreasonable to propose that had “ICE PATRIOTS” not been able to perform functions such as killing an unarmed citizen (i.e., Pretti whose firearm appears to have been seized prior to being shot), then “something far worse” would’ve resulted. This is unknowable.

Recognizing Trumps irrational rhetoric as a counterfactual argument, I’m able to dispute my own unhelpful beliefs which arise when wondering how a leader who swore the same allegiance to the Constitution as I did could be so ignorant or stupid about from where his authority derives.

When providing psychoeducational lessons on REBT, I invite people to understand how such beliefs function rather than wasting time contemplating why people believe certain concepts. For further comprehension about Trump’s rhetoric on Truth Social, one source states:

Hypothesis Contrary to Fact (also known as: counterfactual fallacy, speculative fallacy, “what if” fallacy, wouldchuck)

Description: Offering a poorly supported claim about what might have happened in the past or future, if (the hypothetical part) circumstances or conditions were different. The fallacy also entails treating future hypothetical situations as if they are fact.

Logical Form:

If event X did happen, then event Y would have happened (based only on speculation).

Ostensibly, Trump maintains that if Pretti didn’t have it on him (i.e., he wasn’t carrying a firearm) and ICE officials weren’t shooting perceivably law-abiding citizens (e.g., Pretti), then the streets of Minneapolis wouldn’t be as safe as they apparently are. This is irrational!

It’s not important to know why Trump believes as he doesn’t; yet, knowing how he thinks is worthwhile. Shifting from the idiocy (extreme foolishness or stupidity) of Trump, I’m reminded of hip hop songs which reflect the “I got it on me” motif. Herein, I’ll highlight some of them.

On his album GODfidence (2021), rapper Dibiasi released the song “Dangerous Where I Stay”. The intro of the track contains dialogue presumed to be from a social media clip of two men discussing confrontation. The conversation thusly proceeds:

Individual 1: On a scale from one to 10, how bad do you think I’ll beat yo ass?

Individual 2: I got it on me.

Individual 1: Oh, you got it on you? Okay, okay, I like that! I ain’t gon’ lie, I like that answer. But without it bein’ on you, on a scale from one to 10 – this a serious question though – on a scale from one to 10, without it bein’ on you?

Individual 2: We’ll never find out.

Individual 1: Uhh, why we won’t find out?

Individual 2: ‘Cause it’s on me!

Individual 1: It’s…it’s on you?

Individual 2: Yeah.

Individual 2 didn’t need to explain or justify himself. He could’ve also had one or 20 magazines of ammunition. What is that all about? It’s about his Second Amendment right to have it on him; that’s what! It really isn’t a difficult amendment to understand: “shall not be infringed.”

On their album Snowgoons Dynasty (2012), German hip hop production team the Snowgoons released the song “Get Off the Ground” which featured lyricist Hannibal Stax, lyricist Justin Tyme, lyricist Lil Fame, rapper Sean Price, lyricist Ruste Juxx, and lyricist Termanology.

On the track, Ruste Juxx states, “I ain’t gotta go get it, ‘cause I got it on me!” Similar to me, the lyricist apparently doesn’t want to get caught lackin’. If the price of freedom is death, why not walk around with one’s constitutionally-protected proverbial funds for the toll?

Correspondingly, on his album Harsh Reality (2023), rapper Osbe Chill released the song “Lifes a Bitch” featuring lyricist Elcamino. The rapper opens the track by declaring, “Fuck all that talkin’, bitch, I got it on me,” and adds, “Every day I walk out the house, I got a stick [gun].”

What is that about? Seemingly, Osbe Chill is prepared to pay the price of freedom. Respectively, on his EP 6 Pack (2019), lyricist Billy Danze released the song “Halle Berry” in which he expressed, “OG! Oh, everybody know me. You ain’t gotta wonder if I got it on me!”

Apparently, many rappers and lyricists understand their constitutional right to keep and bear arms. This warrants no explanation. They’re born with that right! What is that all about? It’s about the U.S. government not infringing the Second Amendment. That’s what!

This is true regarding the album Silence Punk (2021), by rapper Runt Dawg, on which he released the track “Keep It on Me” that featured lyricist Ruste Juxx, rapper Nems, and rapper Wayne Danger. In particular, Runt Dawg stated, “I keep it on me! Word up, I keep it on me!”

It’s also factual concerning the album Sun Baths in North Korea (2021) by rapper Mark 4ord. On the anthology, he released the track “Oaths” which featured rapper Trizz. Rather than merely referencing the keeping or bearing of arms, the rappers addressed how freedom works both ways.

Lyrics include, “These niggas go and buy a gun, but won’t use it. You point that thing at me; yo ass betta shoot it! ‘Cause we slidin’ right back on you, stupid, and we gon’ do it! Don’t make me lose it or abuse it, because I’m cool wit’ shit. Get outta pocket, I’ll really act a fool and shit!”

Conclusively, if some people have it on ‘em, then other individuals may also have it on ‘em. In that case, freedom will ring—and that’s a steep price to pay. What price am I talking about? “The price of freedom is death.” What is that all about? It’s about the world in which we live.

Fortunately, all my years of firearms training and experience have taught me the value of restraint. From what I’ve observed on various videos, Pretti exercised such control. Likewise, my education and practice of REBT have resulted in a Stoic perspective on life.

Unfortunately, when Pretti appeared to have put into practice Stoic principles (i.e., remaining calm in the face of imminent risk of danger), he was killed. What is that all about? It’s about ICE disarming him, depriving his civil rights, and apparently having shot him from behind.

What rational lesson may then be taken away from that unnecessary event? Herein, I’m describing and not prescribing matters. Therefore, I’m not telling anyone what they should, must, or ought to do. Personally, I got it on me. What you choose to do is up to you.

In closing, I hope to have demonstrated restriction of mind when writing this blogpost. Similar to how I learned trigger discipline during my MOS and nuclear security training, Stoicism affords me an opportunity to exercise control and influence when and where able to do so.

The same approach to rational living may benefit you. Perhaps you assume an anti-gun stance and don’t want to keep one on your person. No problem. You can keep and bear tools of the ABC model and unconditional acceptance. As for me, I got it on me, in addition to REBT tools.
