There are few people who can quite express what it’s like to need a firearm when a mob is chasing you like Kyle Rittenhouse. As a 17-year-old, he found himself in that situation and pulled the trigger when he needed to. Some claim he didn’t, but a jury of his peers found otherwise, and to be honest, it never should have gotten that far.
Since then, he’s sort of enjoyed the life of a celebrity in political circles. After all, he was to be sacrificed on the altar of political necessity, only he actually slipped away again.
Now, he’s turning his attention to something else.
Kyle Rittenhouse has launched an anti-gun control nonprofit in Texas, according to a filing with the Texas Secretary of State’s office, which was first reported on by the Texas Tribune—a sign the young man who became a conservative star after being acquitted of killing two Black Lives Matter protesters in 2020, is ramping up his political activity in Texas.
KEY FACTS Rittenhouse filed with the Secretary of State on July 23 to create the Rittenhouse Foundation, a nonprofit based in Fort Worth, Texas, which aims to protect “an individual’s inalienable right to bear arms” through “education and legal assistance,” according to the filing. Rittenhouse is listed as a director alongside Chris McNutt, president of the gun advocacy group Texas Gun Rights and Shelby Griesinger, treasurer of the Defend Texas Liberty PAC, which has financed the campaigns of right-wing candidates across the state."

I’ll join
Hope he’s doing okay. He had a tough time and probably fifty percent of the country hates his guts for defending himself
“Good for Rittenhouse!”
I LOVE THIS GUY. Instead of cowering from lawsuits when people, even here, were saying that he ‘needs to keep his mouth shut’, the dude went on the OFFENSIVE and has continued to this day.
I was on another forum with some Leftist dude and he and others wanted Kyle JAILED FOR LIFE, not because he wasn’t justified, but because he killed (and disarmed) 3 of their people.
Even at my level of understanding the Left, only topped by Rush (maybe), I was still shocked by the degree of HATRED they had towards him. To them, NOTHING MATTERED, he needed to spend the rest of his life in jail.
(just a side note - is DeSantis, in joining the Left in saying that the 2020 election was legit really on our side?)
Jeez - that photo...
He looks like he’s just seen the holy grail.
I’ll leave it to Laz to figure out what I just said... :)
Article should read he was defending himself against blm/antifa terrorists.
I’ll join just to piss off the anti gun freaks. Do we get a cool bumper sticker or window flag?
LOL!
When a woman displays them like that, she wants you to look at them.
Absolutely! She got some rich old bastard to pay for them, and she’s damn proud of it!

I am still amazed at his discipline with that rifle.
You know you have too much government when you have to ask permission to store bottles of wine at the bottom of the ocean. As if everyone should know there is a Department of Storing Wine at the Bottom of the Ocean.
Wrong thread.
