Support For Gun Control Cratering as Violent
Crime Soars

The gun industry is experiencing something of a golden age. More than 8 million people became first-time gun owners in 2020 alone. Driving the increase are women, who purchased 40 percent of those weapons. Significantly, the new gun owners aren’t buying hunting rifles. They’re buying semi-automatic handguns for personal protection. The spike in violent crime across America has convinced fence-sitters on the gun control issue that maybe it’s time to stop listening to politicians who are enabling violent mobs to run wild in our city streets and think of their families and their own personal protection. Not surprisingly, Gallup has reported a trend against gun control. Support

Gun control has been steadily losing ground in most of the country for several decades. One of the reasons that I worked for many years to pass our state's concealed carry law was because I felt that the more that people saw friends and family legally carrying guns, and saw that none of the 'shootouts over parking places' and other anti-gunner claims were true, the more solid footing gun rights would have. It is happening, and more and more recognize that YOU are your own first line of defense. Gun control is about control more than about guns, and is a losing proposition for Dems.

Why do gun controllers never support efforts to keep them out the hands of people who carry/use them illegally? Seems like they're the same group who want to defund the police. Maybe they know who would be arrested at much higher rates and wouldn't support their agenda.

If you buy your first handgun, go to the gun range and do a lot of practicing - 100 rounds, minimum, in my opinion, should be used. Condition yourself ,mentally, to be willing and able to use the firearm under duress. There is nothing more dangerous than a firearm displayed, but not used. If you do that, the odds are that you will be shot with your own firearm. Bad guys and bad women don't hesitate when it comes to violence. What I found endearing about Kyle Rittenhouse is the fact that he properly used his firearm. Had he not done so, he would have been kicked and skateboarded to death.

Every city and town in the USA has gangs and repeat criminals with illegal guns. Every ratRINO bleats on and on about gun violence yet never makes an effort to go after the small, known, population that does the gun crimes. It is because every outrage is an opportunity for them to go after support of frightened cowards who will be happy slaves to anyone who promises to protect them. A predictable pattern for the last 70 years.

just look at the history of the 3 guys rittenhouse shot (and the one he shot at and missed) and ask why they were still on the street. I would guess every guy finally arrested and jailed has not only a dozen or 2 priors but that many or more crimes that were not reported

Crazed Reactions to the Rittenhouse Verdict 6 replies
Posted by Dreadnought 11/19/2021 7:40:57 PM Post Reply
Joe Biden, having groundlessly denounced Kyle Rittenhouse as a “white supremacist” last year, says he is “angry” over Rittenhouse’s acquittal: While the verdict in Kenosha will leave many Americans feeling angry and concerned, myself included, we must acknowledge that the jury has spoken. What is Biden angry about? That the jury, which saw the evidence, didn’t agree with his view of the case, not having seen the evidence? These are highly irresponsible words from the President of the United States, particularly in a climate where mobs have threatened reprisals against the jurors. Then we have the Governor of Wisconsin, Tony Evers.

Kyle Rittenhouse’s attorney Mark Richards talked to the press candidly after the jury returned a not guilty verdict for his client and set up the first hint of defamation suits to come. “President Biden said some things that I think are are so…untrue,” he said regarding Biden’s allegation that Rittenhouse is a “white supremacist.” “He’s not a white supremacist,” said Richards. “If the government had any information regarding his cell phone or anything that he had been to any of those websites or been online doing that kind of stuff, it would have been introduced into evidence. It wasn’t.” The media asked

Mark Richards, the attorney for Kyle Rittenhouse, said in the press conference following the reading of the trial verdict that he would not be a part of any civil lawsuits that Rittenhouse might file. No worries, I am sure that when the time is right, Rittenhouse will have a plethora of top civil rights attorneys ready to take that on. We have not seen such media malpractice and egregious miscarriage of due process since 2019, when Nicholas Sandmann was accused of harassing a Native American who was actually harassing him. Led by the hacks at CNN, they targeted and sought to destroy that teenage boy’s life.

Around 1:30 p.m. Eastern today, a jury in Kenosha, Wisconsin, returned the only verdict any responsible jury anywhere could have returned. It found 18-year-old Kyle Rittenhouse innocent of all charges stemming from his attempted murder in the streets of Kenosha on the night of August 25, 2020. This was no little task, and the fact that the jurors did their duty makes them heroes in my book.

The chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee responded to the Kyle Rittenhouse "not guilty" verdict with a statement that included significant factual errors, and a senior adviser to the committee tweeted "no justice, no peace." Rittenhouse was acquitted on all charges stemming from the fatal shooting of two men during the violent riots in Kenosha, Wisc. last summer in the wake of the police shooting of Jacob Blake. "It’s disgusting and disturbing that someone was able to carry a loaded assault rifle into a protest against the unjust killing of Jacob Blake, an unarmed Black man, and take the lives of two people and injure another

As RedState reported, the verdict in the Kyle Rittenhouse trial sent shockwaves through the country today. In the end, the teenager was found not guilty on all counts, having acted in self-defense when he killed two men and injured a third during the Kenosha riots. Of course, the hysterical responses came in hot and heavy, with many on the left having an absolute meltdown. They truly wanted to see an innocent man thrown in prison for life in order to feed their racial narrative, which ironically doesn’t even apply to this case given it involved a white teenager shooting three white men that were attacking him.

Townhall Media’s Julio Rosa is on the ground in Kenosha capturing the events as they unfold after Kyle Rittenhouse was declared not guilty on all counts by a jury of his peers. Based on media reporting in the last few weeks, you might have expected the crowd outside to explode with rage and immediately begin burning down the courthouse. That’s not what happened. Not only is the crowd overwhelmingly cheering for Rittenhouse and his right to self-defense, but the majority of the cars driving by were honking their horns in support of the verdict. This reaction gives me hope for America. Perhaps Americans do understand why

The nation's top infectious disease expert says that COVID-19 hospitalizations are rising among people fully vaccinated who have not had booster shots. Dr Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said waning immunity from the initial shots is leading to a rise in severe cases among immunized Americans. 'What we're starting to see now is an uptick in hospitalizations among people who've been vaccinated but not boosted,' he told NBC News in an interview on Tuesday.

Now cases are above 600,000 per week and are rising in 34 states, a USA TODAY analysis of Johns Hopkins University data shows. The numbers are not close to January, when weekly infections peaked at 1.7 million. But the recovery from one wave has reversed into another wave, more than six months after free, safe, effective vaccines became widely available to all adults.

A seven-woman, five-man jury has returned a verdict in the self-defense case of Kyle Rittenhouse. The jury spent four days deliberating whether the now-18-year-old would be locked up in a cell for the rest of life or be free after the attacks on August 25, 2020. In the end, they decided that Rittenhouse was not guilty of maliciously killing two men and wounding another at the Kenosha riots in 2020. Before the jury came in, Judge Bruce Schroeder told those gathered in the courtroom not to react and said if people couldn’t control themselves they’d be escorted out. Police were also deployed around the courthouse prior to the verdict being read.
