Having had a minute to process his acquittal on all five counts against him, a very relaxed, amiable and self-possessed Kyle Rittenhouse sat down with Charlie Kirk, host of The Charlie Kirk Show, and Human Events editor Jack Posobiec for an hour-long interview on Monday. Rittenhouse family spokesman Dave Hancock was also present. The podcast aired on Tuesday.
One of the most memorable moments of the trial came during Kenosha Assistant District Attorney Thomas Binger’s closing arguments. Holding the AR-15 Rittenhouse had used to defend himself against his attackers on August 25, 2020, finger on the trigger, Binger inexplicably pointed the gun at the gallery.
Kirk played a clip of Binger holding the gun.
The group agreed that Binger had violated two golden rules of gun safety: A shooter should not place their finger on the trigger or point a gun at a target unless they intend to fire.
“He was pointing his gun at the gallery and I looked at my attorney. I said, ‘Corey [Chirafisi], that’s Gun Safety 101. Loaded or unloaded, treat a gun like it’s loaded,'” Rittenhouse said.
“This was your gun, right?” Kirk asked.
“That’s my rifle – that we’re having destroyed right now,” he replied. “We don’t want anything to do with that.”
It’s quite remarkable – and admirable – that Rittenhouse is having the gun destroyed.
Given the notoriety of this case, this rifle would likely fetch a tidy sum at an auction. Rather than capitalizing on his fame, he has chosen to destroy it.

Kyle is still giving interviews?
Enough for now, Kyle. You must start the process of rebuilding your life. You might not even be able to stay at that college in Arizona. It is likely the school will quickly melt and do nothing while the student Mob harrasses you with made up petitions for your expulsion. Unless you are getting paid in some way for sitting and talking, it’s time for other things. Your mother needs support too.
Multiple defamation lawsuits when, Rittenhouse?
“Now, he’s considering a career in law.”
As in, which law school will he buy?
my goodness. what bad advice this kid is getting. he’s doing exactly the opposite of what he should do with it.
I am surprised it’s not being held for evidence in the trial of the guy who bought it for him. That dude is going to get hammered.
I actually get this, and probably would feel the same way if I was a young fellow that had (almost had, anyway) my whole life ruined due to the situation. As an old guy, my choice would be different, but I don’t think he is stupid for doing this.
It’s not his gun. He borrowed it.
When he turned 18 he could legally possess it.
I think the arrangement was that the friend who actually bought it would deliver it to him at that time. If there were lawyers involved, as I am certain there were at this point, the transfer was done legally and it is now his.
Kind of looking like Kyle is sort of a pussy...
“That dude is going to get hammered.
Why?
I think he’s smart to do this. If he aspires to run for office someday, it will appear that he only does the right thing.
To auction off, or even display this rifle, would make him look like a cheap opportunist.
It’s an easily replaceable model.
no hes not...it wasn’t a straw purchase....the rifle never left the buyers possession....
...dont be surprised when the prosecutor quietly drops those charges
Kyle Rittenhouse’s lawyers need to stop putting him on display. I know he has to pay them off, but that young man has been through hell and needs to get out of the public eye. When I saw him break down at the verdict I could see he was expecting the worst. He needs to disappear and live a quiet life for a long time, and take a break for his mental state.
.
If I were Rittenhouse I’d shut up and get those lawsuits filed. I’d be afraid I’d say something in these interviews that might compromise my defamation suits.
Well said!
