FFS the research came from the MSM too.
Try the Associated Press. It’s close-ish.
Well, I wrote that a few days ago, and then this happened today:
I wish you could promise me that was going to be true.
This is either trolling - or is a rhetorical question - as you already know the answer.

Yeah, chances are we will see much more of the fat little shithouse **** over the next couple of years. Rittenhouse I mean, though probably applies to both...
The Rabid right are here to stay in the short to medium term, and more than a few will make money out of it. Shittenhouse will certainly be used as a poster child for the next few years, and get his time in the spotlight. Whether he makes any decent money out of it is another thing though. He might get the odd book deal (ghostwritten, obviously) and TV appearance money, but that will quickly dry up when he inevitably gets chewed up and spat out.
This 5 months pregnant woman (mother to an 11 year old girl) felt safe in her own hands and had her own gun which she drove home to retrieve, then she pointed it at someone she was angry with and they (no doubt legally) shot her.

Not trolling, simply making the same point you ended up making.This is either trolling - or is a rhetorical question - as you already know the answer.
Armed father-daughter duo march alongside anti-Rittenhouse protesters — to protect them
Protesters upset over the acquittal of Kyle Rittenhouse marched in Kenosha on Sunday — in the presence of Erik and Jade Jordan armed with AR-15s they said were to protect the demonstrators.
Which only reinforces the point - guns are extremely lethal and can inflict mass casualties in a matter of minutes. Automatic weapons even moreso.
We now have the prospect that protests will occur, where both the right and the left are armed with automatic weapons.
@Dax777 @idahoblues - How is this a good thing?
Look - if the both of you want to arm for home defense - or for (IMO ridiculously) government gone astray - or for whatever reason - then fine. Why can't assault rifles be restricted to households or to authorized shooting ranges? Why the need to carry such weapons wherever you want?
For protection - you might claim - against whomever. Pretty sure if I were an armed criminal intent upon stealing money - and I saw a victim - and then I saw you - with your assault rifle - I'd pretty much be goddamn sure to fire on you. Whereas a robbery without bloodshed might otherwise have occurred - the thief clearly visible in camera footage and then engaged by police in a setting much less dangerous to society at large.

One last thought - I'd never, ever visit any nation where soldiers armed with assault rifles roamed the streets - I'd be in fear for my life. Now, in America, it's even worse. People whom I don't know - and who aren't even police - are openly armed with weapons that might take my life in a matter of seconds. Does this setting inspire confidence or a feeling of safety? Absolutely not.
What if I in turn purchase an assault rifle? Do I feel safer now? Not at all.
In fact, as an untrained individual armed with an assault rifle with the goal to protect myself and others from armed criminals - surrounded by similar such individuals - this is a veritable chinese firing squad primed and ready for action.
It's fucking insane. And America is on the cusp of realizing this very scenario. Rittenhouse 2 dead is going to be a "very good" outcome as opposed to mass casualties which ensure from open assault rifle gunfights between the right and the left (well to the extent that left-leaning individuals carry such weapons) - sparked by emotion, distrust and mistake.
But yeah... you've the right to carry assault rifles into virtually any public forum nonetheless.
You mean like angry hormonal teenagers with easy access to deadly weapons?This 5 months pregnant woman (mother to an 11 year old girl) felt safe in her own hands and had her own gun which she drove home to retrieve her weapon, pointed at someone and they shot her.

But at least she wasn’t subjected to “chav culture” eh bud? Although it’s not like the US has any teens that are arseholes is it.

Not to mention one of those that attacked Rittenhouse had a hand gun, which he admitted to pointing at Rittenhouse, that’s licence had expired. Nobody is right if everyone is wrong in this scenario. There will be more unnecessary deaths if people keep taking deadly weapons to protests/riots.This is either trolling - or is a rhetorical question - as you already know the answer.

I really like Idaho, but yeah, it was a strange comment.
Yeah he's a top poster. I blame all that freezing fucking cold air he breaths in.
100% agree. Although I'm now left-leaning - this issue is not about right versus left. It's about public safety. Insane to let the populace at large carry assault rifles wherever (mostly) they want. This isn't going to lead to a safer society where criminal activity is reduced due to obvious danger as gun advocates would claim - rather, it's a recipe for needless deaths inflicted by and upon members of society who aren't ostensibly criminal.
Agree.
A kid thought it was a good idea to turn up on his own at a protest overtly carrying a loaded assault rifle and just wandered about looking for 'action' so he could help. And being so young and inexperienced he didn't once consider that there would be potential dangers, including him being killed.
