U.S.A. -(AmmoLand.com)- The Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC) issued the following statement today in response to the acquittal of Kyle Rittenhouse:
Consistent with the Constitution, in finding him not guilty on all charges, a jury of Kyle Rittenhouse’s peers recognized today that the human right to armed self-defense doesn’t end at a state line and applies equally to young adults. Individuals facing a threat of violence have no duty to retreat before exercising their right to defend their life.
And after weighing the evidence, the jury found that Mr. Rittenhouse should not be convicted on charges the prosecution should never have brought in the first place. While Kyle is no longer under threat of being caged for defending his life, his experience shows the value of our fundamental, individual right to keep and bear arms: When the police aren’t willing or able to protect you from unjust force and violence, your AR-15—America’s rifle—can.

The two Low Lifes that He killed would still be alive if they had been in PRISON where they belonged.
Kyle DID retreat, for all the good it did him. He was running away and fell, was kicked, grabbed and hit with a skateboard when he shot those three scumbags.
When I heard that the jury consisted of seven women and five men I thought they would find a charge to pin on him.
Maybe the makeup of the jury is why it took them so long to render their verdict, the video showed it was self defense and to me it was cut and dried.
Not guilty, glad they felt the same.
Why do I always carry a gun? Because a cop won’t fit in my pocket.
“You are your own best first responder”
So true. Remember when seconds count, the police are minutes away.
I hope and pray Mr. Rittenhouse can put these events behind. These THUGS brought about their own demise by ATTACKING and ASSAULTING an American Citizen. SELF DEFENCE and DEFENSE of others IS a RIGHT ALL American Citizens have! Even the Founders of OUR Constitution Acknowledged and REITERATED these RIGHTS existed BEFORE OUR Constitution was penned. It is a wonder and detriment that these DemoKKKrat communists will not, or cannot, acknowledge this FACT!
Somewhere in the ether. It was mentioned that the DA of Kenosha didn’t try the case himself. Because he’s a political rising star in Wisconsin. That and he knew the case was bogus. That being said. Because the police no longer police. We are left to our own defense.
While I agree with the statement by FPC, they didn’t need to tout the AR-15. There are lots of other weapons capable of aiding in a life threatening situation.
LOL. 950 is good. <1100 fps can be quiet & discreet; helps avoid being imprisoned or murdered by The Blue for exercising your God-given natural right to self-defense.
