His preferred pronouns are now “was” and “were”
I’ve been deliberating on this situation for a long time now, and I’ve been back and forth on a few things.
First off, I don’t believe in an age cutoff whatsoever of owning a weapon. I don’t think people younger than 18 should be defenseless. So I’ve come up with a sort of FAQ on the situation. Here goes.
Q: He was from Illinois, and a minor. He’s not even supposed to have this rifle!
A: F*ck you. All of god’s creatures have a means to defend themself. Bears have teeth and claws, deer have antlers and hooves, even rabbits run really fast and hear everything. Humans have brains. No claws, no antlers. Humans invent weapons. End of statement. He had a gun and used it because “F*ck you” that’s why.
Q: He transported this rifle across state lines and entered a place that he didn’t belong and just started shooting people.
A: State borders are where tyrants and corrupt criminals attempt to change the law that I stated above. They choose when, where how and IF a human being can defend themselves and I won’t tolerate that. State border be damned. IF this 17 year old guy is anywhere in the universe and chooses to carry any weapon he knows how to use (And damn this kid knows how to use a rifle in CQ) then my hat is off.
I walked down the road of “This kid was kinda stupid” and “He shouldn’t have been there” before I just shook my head and said “WHOA! Hang on.” and finally took on the core principal believe that I hold dear and near.
Every living creature has a natural right to defend itself and roam where it chooses.
We need to take his rifle away from him forever.
....And we can all get together and get him something nice, like a Daniel Defense or a TAR-10.
He’s earned it.
And that my friend is why the 556/55-77 grn cartridge is very effective at fight stopping. from 0-250m these bullets like to come apart,; making mush of bone and tissue from 250-600 or so, they drill very neat precisely accurate holes if the “pointer” points them right....and are much easier to shoot/hit with under duress than the 30s. We save those for the Medium MGs.
He got his wish. Hope he’s happy (but I don’t think so.) (Uh-oh - I used periods!)
I still prefer 124gr of 7.62x39 and my AKM, but I can’t deny the results of the 5.56 to eliminate commie felons at close range.
Indeed Azeem, the 762 Russian round is effective in its own right. And I know some folks swear that their AK variant will hit a gnats eye at 600m. but we know better.
As this youngster ( where the F was his battle buddy/daddy?) learned, you can not have too many rounds at hand....
“As this youngster ( where the F was his battle buddy/daddy?) learned, you can not have too many rounds at hand....”
Right now 7.62x39 can be purchased for .30-.32 cpr. 5.56mm and 9mm are going for double, at least.
If I’m going out to 600m+, the 7.62x54R and .308/7.62x51 are preferable.
I was thinking that if the perv had been shot in the head with a high powered rifle at close range there would have been a HUGE exit wound. It looked like an entrance only wound, more indicative of a pistol shot.
And notice how Rittenhouse was immediately arrested whereas that never happens for any of the thousands of rioters — greater interest in arresting the “good guy” than the “bad guy”.
>> Kyle Rittenhouse should not have been patrolling the streets
An obvious disclaimer by the author to avoid discussing the justification of Kyle’s armed presence.
Clear!y the world is a better place with one less democrat voter in this country.

Agreed. And people demand I support the po!ice? The police are the first group that immediately become compliant in a dictatorial state and they do it just so they can keep their jobs.
