Considering his attorneys and their families are getting death threats because of this, we should start using that as a badge of honor.

If you get death threats from communist anarchist losers, you’re doing something right.

Interesting. Also, in an interview, one of the other guys in that group claimed that KR could legally carry because he was supervised by an adult.

Who knows whether that’s true or the group misunderstood the law?

Lots of Lefties are hanging their hats on “he had the gun illegally, so everything that happened as a result was illegal, he’s a murderer!”

Logic and legal analysis such as this are lost on them, unfortunately.

The majority of states (30) have no age limits on who can possess a long gun. Just to put things into perspective. IIRC I bought my first shotgun at about the age of 14. (I had to have mom or dad drive me to shoot or hunt.)

One of the questions involving the Kyle Rittenhouse defensive engagements is if Kyle was forbidden from carrying an AR15 rifle, because he was at that time, four months short of his 18th birthday.


I don’t believe that the Constitution puts an age requirement on the 2nd Amendment. At the time it was written it was common for boys as soon as they were big enough to learn how to shoot. Also, boy younger than 18 have participated in every conflict since this nation was founded (usually by lying about their age).

As a side note, I was taught to shot by the US Army when I was 17 and went into my first combat shortly after I turned 18.

It has only been in recent years that age has become a factor with the 2nd Amendment. As was discussed on another thread up until the 1970 it was common for schools to have gun clubs and in some cases gun ranges on campus.

It’s Wisconsin. These people define ruggedness, patriotism and self determination.

About 15 years ago, I was on a business trip to Madison Wisconsin. The local school board had just the day before forbidden the pledge of allegiance in school class rooms. Parents chased the school board members and threw water balloons filled with lye and drano at them. These people don’t take guff from anyone.

:”(a) Any person under 18 years of age who possesses or goes armed with a dangerous weapon is guilty of a Class A misdemeanor.”

So what does this mean?

Paraphrasing Hillary...

Non-sequitur since the governorship/local authorities elected to uphold the law allowed lawlessness (Looting/burning) to reign by default.

Kyle was just trying to shoot the pistol out of the thug’s hand like Gene Autry

Who gives a flying frak at a rolling donut. Kyle took out the trash and did it with style.

If youre old enough to choose a gender, then youre old enough to smoke, drink and carry a gun.
