Rittenhouse Acquittal: More Open Carry; More Gun Sales; More Self-Defense

 

Oldest and Newest GOP Religious Movement

Common Sense Gun Laws that Work

(Close loopholes & strict background checks)

Obama; Biden; always blame DEMS 

(Gun sales still rising)

NBC reports this – what I have said, too and with this headline:

“In the wake of Rittenhouse acquittal and Arbery killing (trial outcome pending), will more people turn to vigilante justice”

KENOSHA, WI — The acquittal of Kyle Rittenhouse on all charges, including homicide, is not expected to end America's debate over gun control and the Second Amendment or the heated conversations about when armed protection of a community crosses the line into vigilantism. Rather, the worry is over what comes next. 

Anti-gun violence groups and some Second Amendment experts who followed the trial, in which Rittenhouse claimed self-defense when he fatally shot two men and wounded a third during a night of unrest in August 2020, are raising concerns that people may seize on the outcome and feel empowered to defend their neighborhoods while bearing arms, particularly during volatile events.

My 2 Cents: GOP RW mindset after Rittenhouse goes free is now in effect I think. That is shoot and kill someone, anyone and claim “self-defense” whether the person or persons were or were not armed.

Hereafter it will be referred to as the “Rittenhouse legal strategy.”

I hope I'm wrong but nowadays GOP gun nuts advocate violence to achieve any political result while blaming the DEMS for common sense gun control measures like making sure gun law loopholes like that one on used in this trial, e.g., barrel length that got one charge dropped are closed; or being underage and allowed to carry an AR-15 like he did, etc., etc.

FYI - I posted about this earlier, too ... very timely now, too.

All this is utter insanity, but also still a strong NRA tactic for gun sales, which are way up, and the longtime GOP wet dream for more “open carry laws” all across the country like in the old Wild, Wild West days – that is to shoot first and ask questions later.

Or like that old dishonest Judge Roy would say: “Bring the guilty bastard in, give him a fair trial then hang him.” 

Keep hoping for the best not the worst.
