At the time of the killings, Rittenhouse was 17 years old and too young to purchase or possess such a firearm.

MSN lies some more.

There is a difference in Wisconsin law and federal law between "purchasing" and "possessing". This was why the weapons charge in the Rittenhouse case was dismissed.

This was clearly discussed during the trial (without the jurors being present). There is no excuse for this lie anymore.

Exactly! ‘Kids’ in Wisconsin can possess firearms as young at 10 years old, and most have BB guns or air rifles, too. Beau teaches gun safety classes to kids & adults. Beau had an 8 year old shoot a bear out of a tree this past season, and he did a d@mn fine job, too. No crying, no squeamishness. He was with his Grandpa, of course, surrounded by adults at the time, but HE took the shot.

I had a .22 as a teenager; ALL of us did! Yeesh! And we weren’t out shooting one another with it. I made it all the way through High School and the Army and I haven’t had to shoot anyone...yet. ;)

They are just helping Kyle’s case when he sues them.
