Rittenhouse trial

[Gelston]

And Rittenhouse wasn't even old enough to openly carry in the state. His gun was also part of a straw purchase. OOOPS! Zingerz omg.

I live in Wisconsin and know the gun laws inside and out. It's going to come down to that. Should a kid that is illegally holding a straw purchased gun allowed to shoot in self defense?

Basically everyone involved is fucking retarded.

Yes. He can be charged for illegally possessing a firearm and found guilty on that, which is a class A Misdemeanor. That is why it is a completely different charge. It isn't like "Oh, you had this firearm illegally, so you are also a murderer now for using it to defend yourself."
