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.

Yes I heard the little evil troll Hobbit Jerry Nadler is demanding Federal charges against Kyle. What a freakin’ vile midget pig, his own city gets trashed for the past 5 years by Marxist punks and he says nothing, but a kid in Wisconsin who he has absolutely NOTHING to do with, defends his life and this bloated pig is demanding federal charges on a case he knows ZERO about...

>Yep, there are still a bunch of idiots out there who think “AR” stands for “Assault Rifle”

All my ARs are now KR15s.

Where was the NRA in all of this? I got six fundraising letters already this year to “fight the gun grabbers agenda,” (which is actually kind of low for them) but haven’t seen bupkis about what they were actually doing or even saying about this case before it was over, and even then they just tweeted out the text of the 2nd Amendment.

Kyle Rittenhouse is a hero and a role model...

Why? Rittenhouse defines what's good in the world... Reverse this: In the old South White Democrats burned down black towns...

White democrats in the old South never felt burning down black towns was wrong, but they did objected to 'interference'...

Imagine a black 17 year old kid walking into the fray while white KKK democrats were burning down a black city. And the black teenager, carrying a gun decides HE will try to protect some of the town's buildings.

We'll call him Riddenhome...young black man... more courage than fear.

In the old tradition of overseers - going back to the days of slavery, three black men - criminals (antifa) - were assisting the KKK burning down the city... They attacked Riddenhome... and Riddenhome shoots them - killing two fellow black men.

Fast forward to the trial - the white community is outraged a 17 year old black kid would try to stop the KKK and white people from expressing their rage and the black teenager is is on trial.

Which way would you black bimbos and white enablers call the trial...

Think about the parallels ... democrats were evil then and they're still evil today. Changing the color or victims... still evil.

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

And make sure they are steel jacket and not those deadly hollow points.

It was a self defense case at its heart, not a 2A case.

It was as much a private property rights case as anything. The gas station where it all started and where Kyle stayed up until they started attacking him, is owned by his grandparents. They came on to his property to attack him.

“My brother had his confiscated for a while after he shot Mom in the butt with his BB gun but he eventually got the .22 back.”

LOL! ‘Easy Target?’ ;)

Oh, yeah. I confiscated BB guns from my boys, too. The day the shot windows out of the barn - THAT WASN’T OURS - was one time I (and they!) DISTINCTLY remember!

Other than that, we always enjoyed target practice and skeet shoots, etc.

She was just a little overweight at the time so it was a big target. You know boys! It was an irresistible target at the time.😁

I see nothing wrong with this offer from GOA and their partners.

However, an email from Erich Pratt at GOA gives Kyle a choice:

“Let me say upfront, that we want to be a blessing to Kyle. If he would prefer a scholarship or grant toward his nursing studies instead, then we will auction off the firearm and contribute the proceeds for that purpose.

Repeating the lie does not make it truth. Same for the "possession" quote. It was legal under Wisconsin law...
