Please Understand This About Rittenhouse

The trial was never about Kyle, his baby face or the law or really even about race as all those involved were white.

The trial was an opportunity to tear apart one of the major tenants to gun ownership. Defense

If they had succeeded, the precedent would have been set that possessing a gun regardless of circumstance would make you automatically an aggressor and a credible threat to which anyone could react to you with deadly force and you would not have the right to defend yourself.

Had they succeeded, the Left would have been one step closer to full banishment of guns and the 2nd amendment

And until then, they would have been free to attack and kill anyone open carrying guns, from police officers to proud boys to women defending their homes from thieves and rapists.

This is why the media went so hard with the lies to foment mob justice to intimidate the jury and get a guilty verdict. And this is why the prosecutors conducted themselves so ridiculously from a legal lens: because it was never about the law. They framed the issue exactly as they intended and counted on the mob to do the rest.

Thankfully we can all say: try try again Lefties.

 

Rubbish.

If the left wanted your guns they would simply offer rewards to private citizens for reporting someone with a gun.

 

Why would they report someone that legally possesses a gun?...and what would that accomplish?

 

What? So no one has the legal right to possess a gun, so if you are reported you will have it confiscated? When did that happen?

I am talking about the USA, not sure what country you are talking about.

 

the law, modeled on texas abortion of course, would allow anyone who felt threatened by a gun carrier (since rittenhouse was not the owner, or was he?) to sue.

 

What would reporting someone who assisted another obtain an abortion hope to accomplish?

 

It's guaranteed that there is at least one California legislator with a bill that would allow that kind of action against gun owners if SCOTUS doesn't kill the Texas law.

 

Already on the books. And again, why would this alone be sufficient?

 

Hmmm... so, to take your lesson here, If I see someone who "looks like they are about to engage in unprotected sex" for example, I should report them, right?

 

There are lots of folks in Kalifornia that want to be just like China. Doesn't mean that the rest of the folks do.

 

Try it and let us know how it works out for you.

 

Not sure. Ask Texas.

 

no. repeal of the texas law would allow the army of lawyers currently staking out abortion clinics to catch uber drivers who are "assisting abortions" to return to god's work chasing ambulances.

 

Hi from Texas.. wtf you talking about? Reporting someone who has a gun here is like reporting someone for having a power tool.

Edit.. oooh the abortion law i get it sorry.

 

It's a reference to our idiotic "SS - Snitch 'n' Sue" abortion law being used as a model to crush gun owners in other states.

 

Ya I picked that up late my bad. I was a bit slow on the draw there..

 

No worries.

 

To be honest, republicans have created not just one anti gun loophole as discussed above, but 2 loopholes.

If we have 3 or 4 mass school shootings, the precedent has been set for Biden to declare a national emergency and ban guns...just like the last administration did with the wall money.

They just keep chipping away.

 

The trial was about whether the circumstances of the shootings fell under the guise of the insane gun laws allowing a reckless teenager to kill two people.

 

Support a law that was in place in Texas I suppose.

I am not aware of any such law with legal guns. Are you?

 

See above.

In Texas there is a law in place that created an illegality where a whistleblower would have something to report.

What law are you referring to?

 

You must know what Texas law I am talking about. I assume your leading question has a point so feel free to just let me know what that point is.

What exactly do you mean by "illegality"?

 

Illegality means the state of being forbidden by law.

Without going into too much detail, In Texas, there is a law that makes abortion illegal after a heartbeat is detected, and citizens are encouraged to report providers breaking that law.

You are suggesting the same thing with guns, but there is no law in place ( to my knowledge at least) for citizens to report those that are breaking that non existent law. My question is not a "leading" one. I am sincerely asking you what law those whistleblowers would be reporting. If there is one, simply answer the question. This is not a trick question. You are either referring to a specific law or your initial statement did not make any sense. This is pretty cut and dried.

What you seek is a law that outlaws guns so that citizens can report those breaking the law. You on the other hand are suggesting the whistleblower statute with nothing to blow the whistle upon. You are putting the proverbial cart before the horse, which has been my point all along.

 

Yeah, I am familiar with the law. Give citizens the right to sue over a law that violates the constitutional right of abortion.

I didn't say there was a law. I said if dems wanted the guns they could do what texas did with abortion and make the law then give citizens the right to sue.

Just a correction, it is not what I seek.

It is simply a potential Avenue of gun grabbing based on the precedent, not yet established, by Texas.

 

There isn't one -- yet. But if SCOTUS doesn't bitch slap the Texas law, I can guarantee that there will be.

Sauce for the goose.
