Kyle Rittenhouse Awarded AR-15 for 'Defense of Gun Rights' Following Acquittal

Accused shooter Kyle Rittenhouse has been awarded an AR-15 assault rifle from an organization called Gun Owners of America (GOA) for his "defense of gun rights" following his acquittal from homicide charges.

"ALERT: GOA will be awarding Kyle Rittenhouse with an AR-15 for his defense of gun rights in America," GOA wrote in a Friday morning tweet. "Join us in saying THANK YOU to Kyle Rittenhouse for being a warrior for gun owners and self defense rights across the country!"

Join us in saying THANK YOU to Kyle Rittenhouse for being a warrior for gun owners and self defense rights across the country!

— Gun Owners of America (@GunOwners) November 19, 2021 Rittenhouse used an AR-15 style rifle to kill Joseph Rosenbaum and Anthony Huber, as well as injure Gaige Grosskreutz in Kenosha, Wisconsin on August 25, 2020.

Rittenhouse pleaded self-defense to homicide charges related to the incident. A jury found him not guilty on Friday.

Prosecution attorneys argued that Rittenhouse's victims had initially approached him out of fear that he was an active shooter. At the time of the killings, Rittenhouse was 17 years old and too young to purchase or possess such a firearm. His friend, Dominick Black, purchased it for him, Black said at the trial.

MSN is still embarrassed from the Judge’s kicking them out of the Courthouse during Kyle’s trial

Just curiosity: Was he not given back his weapon after the trial?

I’ve seen conflicting info online, and was hoping a more knowledgeable FReeper than I am could say for sure.

I thought the State was required to return it to “Dominik” and he would then turn it over to Kyle!
Correct me if that is in error.

“An AR15 is not an “assault rifle”.”

Yep, there are still a bunch of idiots out there who think “AR” stands for “Assault Rifle” instead of being an abbreviation of the original manufacturer Armalite.

Answer varies WIDELY.

By brand and accessories and optics. Plus ammo.

Let’s say $1500+ if its a decent one.

Oh stop. The leftist and rat groups exult and reward “their heroes” into the stratosphere.

Article also states that it was illegal for Rittenhouse to own the rifle, which is obviously false.

At this point they aren’t “idiots”, they’re gaslighters who are knowingly and willfully pushing false narratives on the general public, gaslighting them into believing false things, e.g. for the purpose of expanding gun control or getting them to vote in harmful ways. They’ve had more than 20 years, i.e. since about Columbine, to learn what is and isn’t an assault rifle, and they simply refuse to do it.

That is the likely outcome; It may take a while.

It's almost a certainty that Littlefinger will slow walk (or retain it) the return of the AR-15 from the evidence locker citing:

State is not finished with Kyle yet and it needs to remain evidence

Holding on to it for "Lefty's" pending suit.

or finally release it as a box of damaged parts because "testing" you know.

Yes, more gaslighting. The media doesn’t exist to inform, but rather to persuade the public about false things for and to the benefit of certain elites.
