The people who commit gun violence aren’t concerned with the laws.

Of course they are. Just imagine if Kyle Rittenhouse had had to acquire his hunting equipment on the black market.

Or imagine if Gaige Groesskreutz didn’t illegally carry a pistol to a protest without a permit (expired permit from another state)

I'm not familiar with that name, who did they kill?

They illegally brought a pistol to a peaceful protest and pointed it at Kyle. To which Kyle responded. If you wanna talk gun laws, why isn’t Gaige in jail for illegally carrying a pistol?

Also, anybody tell this guy it’s illegal to drive through parades?

That's odd. So the law abiding gun owner killed people, but the criminal didn't. You sure this is helping make your point?

He shot a person who was illegally carrying after this person point a pistol at him. Timing and context is everything. That’s called self defense. We’ve all seen the videos and the trial. Gaige admitted to committing 3 felonies.

If Gaige had killed Kyle, how do you think that would look to your point?

It would be another criminal committing murder wouldn’t it?

Was Kyle a tool? Yes. A punk? Also yes. Should he have been there? Absolutely not. But don’t ignore the fact that Gaige was illegally carrying a pistol either. Laws are laws!

I know it’s a lot but the last 30 seconds of this will clear things up

And child Mensa candidate Rottenhouse knew this how?

In the eyes of the participants each"good guy with a gun" thought they were stopping a bad guy with a gun.

Why? because both civilians had guns on the street.
