Kyle Rittenhouse Awarded AR-15 for 'Defense of Gun Rights' Following Acquittal

Accused shooter Kyle Rittenhouse has been awarded an AR-15 assault rifle from an organization called Gun Owners of America (GOA) for his "defense of gun rights" following his acquittal from homicide charges.

"ALERT: GOA will be awarding Kyle Rittenhouse with an AR-15 for his defense of gun rights in America," GOA wrote in a Friday morning tweet. "Join us in saying THANK YOU to Kyle Rittenhouse for being a warrior for gun owners and self defense rights across the country!"

Join us in saying THANK YOU to Kyle Rittenhouse for being a warrior for gun owners and self defense rights across the country!

— Gun Owners of America (@GunOwners) November 19, 2021 Rittenhouse used an AR-15 style rifle to kill Joseph Rosenbaum and Anthony Huber, as well as injure Gaige Grosskreutz in Kenosha, Wisconsin on August 25, 2020.

Rittenhouse pleaded self-defense to homicide charges related to the incident. A jury found him not guilty on Friday.

Prosecution attorneys argued that Rittenhouse's victims had initially approached him out of fear that he was an active shooter. At the time of the killings, Rittenhouse was 17 years old and too young to purchase or possess such a firearm. His friend, Dominick Black, purchased it for him, Black said at the trial.

An AR15 is not an “assault rifle”. The ignorance of the gaslight media on firearms is deep and willful.

They need to give him a case of 1,000 rounds & handful of magazines.

MSN lies some more.

There is a difference in Wisconsin law and federal law between "purchasing" and "possessing". This was why the weapons charge in the Rittenhouse case was dismissed.

This was clearly discussed during the trial (without the jurors being present). There is no excuse for this lie anymore.

Please Lord, I hope and pray that Mr Rittenhouse has an advisor on-board about handling such matters as this gift! Taxes will be owed on the value of such gifts and he does NOT NEED to become MORE of an IRS target. It is inevitable that he is somewhat of a target for all government agencies right now, sad but true! This needs to INCLUDE Democrat Illinois as well!

I don’t think GOA or anyone else should be feathering their own nests based on an artificial connection to this young man.

If you think gun-grabbing progs are triggered now, just wait until New York State Rifle & Pistol Association Inc. v. Bruen doesn’t go their way.

I think they did it out of pure motives. What difference does it make NOW!!! He has the rifle and no one can take it away from him, the first ones who tried are dead.

Of course, you don’t. You’re a liberal and despise anything Americans do. You support all the connections liberals do to one another, but this one bugs you.

Exactly! ‘Kids’ in Wisconsin can possess firearms as young at 10 years old, and most have BB guns or air rifles, too. Beau teaches gun safety classes to kids & adults. Beau had an 8 year old shoot a bear out of a tree this past season, and he did a d@mn fine job, too. No crying, no squeamishness. He was with his Grandpa, of course, surrounded by adults at the time, but HE took the shot.

I had a .22 as a teenager; ALL of us did! Yeesh! And we weren’t out shooting one another with it. I made it all the way through High School and the Army and I haven’t had to shoot anyone...yet. ;)

Depends on the manufacturer and model, $500-$2,000 and up.
