Since when have clothes been a threat to others like a gun can be seen as? A kid with an AR walks into a crowd of people and we are supposed to accept that? Again, I had a kid who at 17 knew ARs and AKs inside out. That was part of the deal in my allowing him to shoot them. He also knew that it wasn't a toy, and you don't go out and pretend to be Rambo with it. I'd have crucified him for that. He was able to enjoy the privilege because he understood the responsibility. If Rittenhouse had been trained as some folks claim, he'd have known it was not a place he should have been with an AR.
Semp wrote that the rape example didn’t compare to Kyle situation and then he compared the Kyle situation to his hells angels example not realizing the rape example and the biker example are exactly the same.
No disrespect but you keep going on about your family history with rifles and it’s completely irrelevant to the argument. The argument being did Kyle commit murder or not. You and semp seem to be saying that Kyle is guilty of exercising rights that you don’t think he should have and breaking laws that you think should exist.
The crazy guy who was just released from America’s dismal mental health system that day, didn’t think Kyle should have the right to walk around in public with a rifle. So he tried to take both away from him. That’s exactly why we have the second amendment. To stop those who would use violence to deny us our rights. Kyle’s discipline and discernment in a desperate life and death situation was exemplary, and that’s why he’s alive and free today. Moreover it can be argued that it was kyle’s civic responsibility to stop people from destroying America, just as it’s every citizen’s responsibility. That’s what rioters were doing btw, literally, physically destroying part of our country.
