Kyle Rittenhouse said he will destroy the AR-15-style weapon he used in the fatal shooting of two people last year at a racial injustice protest in Kenosha, Wisconsin.
In an appearance on the conservative podcast “The Charlie Kirk Show,” Rittenhouse said Tuesday that the gun was being "destroyed right now.”
“We don’t want anything to do with that,” he said.
Rittenhouse, 18, was acquitted of five felony charges related to his actions on Aug. 25, 2020, during a protest over the shooting of a Black man, Jacob Blake, by a white Kenosha police officer.
Rittenhouse was charged with reckless homicide in the slaying of Joseph Rosenbaum, 36, and intentional homicide in the death of Anthony Huber, 26.

While I have a lot of respect for the way this kid has handled himself throughout this entire ordeal, if I were allowed to advise him I’d tell him to just fade away for a while. The media and Marxists are going to find something to embarrass him with eventually.
Next up? Alec Baldwin to destroy his six gun that fires all by itself!
“Who said he’s doing it to appease leftists? I imagine the poor kid has been traumatized by this whole ordeal and wants nothing to do with the gun anymore. I imagine he now has, or will have, some PTSD from killing two people and being in jail etc.”
Perhaps. He does seem to be very sensitive. I hope he can get over it quickly.
Lol, then as they attack use the new one
Ditto. I believe that Kyle Rittenhouse possibly regrets what he did, knowing that it’s what he had to do under the circumstances.
Too bad. Could have made a nice display with mug shots of the deranged antifa thugs taken down with it.
Yep..
Battle tested..stack and pack
He’s getting a new one:
Gun Owners of America tweeted in support of Rittenhouse with an offer to give him an AR-15 after he was acquitted on Friday. “GOA will be awarding Kyle Rittenhouse with an AR-15 for his defense of gun rights in America,” read the tweet. “Join us in saying THANK YOU to Kyle Rittenhouse for being a warrior for gun owners and self defense rights across the country!”
Smart move.
All bets is he is moving out west to some place to be left alone and get on with his life. Wisconsin and IL are over for this guy. Put the lower in his attorneys hands and leave it in his safe to cover any future costs.
That $200 block of machining was just a tool, he saved his own life, just barely. If he has any understanding of what happened to him, in the publics mind, he needs to stay physically fuck away from people, non gun rights political discussion, crowds and have a very limited relationship to public figures.
NRA conventions and Shot Shows with professional security if he wants to earn a good living for very little work public speaking. PodCast about the failures of the american justice system, but stay out of physical world public eye, stay the fuck away from social media that may leak ones location. I am telling the young man to hide out and take some quiet donations and stay more underground than George Zimmerman has for nearly a decade.
In that mode, if he stays in the US he should get some training, carrying a pistol when going to town, and the whole family should be upgrading to a 7.62 Pattern Rifle with a good optics rail and a solid bipod mount. A place with a fence, long driveway and suitable for dogs and cameras owned by a non descript corporation for the property tax records.
Supposedly, yes. Yet every day, there are news reports of that exact scenario playing out. Lots of John Hinklcey, Jr. types out there, just waiting for a Jodie Foster type to impress. Or someone who sees himself or herself as the one to avenge Ruby Ridge, Waco, etc. Disturbing and sad, IMHO.
This probably isn’t about appeasement - more likely the gun would be a reminder of something he wants to try to forget.
They say people often sell their house after a tragic accident or illness takes place - even a burglary. It doesn’t mean they think they did something wrong, or that the house did anything wrong.
" Sounds like someone is finally giving Kyle some good advice, and he’s listening to it.
Good for him. "
Thanks,Nancy Peelousy. You've set FR straight.
Make and Model of this
“Evil Black Rifle?”
.
Kyle can do as he
Pleases as a
FREE MAN.
.
GOD bless him.
He should put it on Ebay. That’s where everyone gets their ARs.
After thinking it over, he should disassemble it throw the parts in a box and send them to me. I’ll find something to do with them. I have the technology, I’ll make it faster and better and call it my $6.00 gun or maybe a Lee Majors model. 😎
At least auction it off for charity.......conservative he’s not!!!!
yep, idiot, could of got millions
What is he being charged with?
