Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Kyle Rittenhouse says he wants his rifle destroyed wtf

IMHO, he needs to keep his mouth shut.

I'm certainly glad he was acquitted, which was right and proper and is an indicator that Americans can still receive a fair trial in this day and age of budding totalitarianism, but his politics are suspect.

Go get some real bullets while ..he's at it .... ball ammo ... hummpf!,

Politics, no politics, unless you're the one that took those lives, your opinion is just that, an opinion. Who are we to judge that young man. Ive been placed in positions where I have had to take lives on and off duty. Each and every time was different and the circumstances were different. Some I was able to move on from and one haunts me every day as it was a car wreck that took 3 lives. They blew through a stop sign and absolutely no way I could have prevented it. It still haunts me. Seeing the anguish on that boys face during the trial, he relives those moments everytime he closes his eyes. I am sure he wants to fade into the background and try and move on with his life, but feels like he has to try and explain everything. Like many have said, we are trying to turn this kid into the face of the new revolution. Let the boy breathe. Just my two cents.

He was a 17 year old child during this event. Not a badass operator like so many here.

I tend to agree.

The kid showed a ton of composure under an unbelievable amount of stress, when he held off smok’n Gaige Grossektze when he first approached Kyle with his Glock out.

Kyle pulled his muzzle off Grossektze once he did the famous “Oh, shît movement”. Then Kyle whipped the muzzle right back on him when the wanna be a Antifa POS thought he could sneak a shot off at Kyle.

Bye, bye bicep

LMAO

2 tick marks and an "arm" on the buttstock.

These miserable old f_ucks don't give a damn about Kyle, his life or his future.
They want a vigilante poster boy.

Nothing to gain, and maybe a lot to lose. Best advice yet. miles

Yep, he is on track

I think many including myself tend to forget this.

I feel bad for him. He's been through more than anyone should have to go through and none of it was his fault. It wasn't the gun's fault either. He has a lot of sorting out to do. Still it all comes back to the fact; he did nothing to deserve the assault he was forced to defend himself from. Those men meant to do him great bodily harm if not kill him and he had every right to defend himself.
You cannot go back and undo what's been done but you can try to live with the fact that you did everything in your power to protect yourself and others when the time came. Unfortunately it's probably going to take a government that is willing to actually protect it's citizens instead of allowing them to go suffer the mayhem that anarchist Marxist groups dish out before things get better.

Where are the good citizens when the Mob's come to destroy their property and kill and maim them? Why isn't there a majority of citizens standing in front of the Governor and Mayor's face demanding them to do their duty? Trouble is; we get the government we vote for or in the case of the last election; the government we are given through Criminal Activity. That's another story that hasn't come close to being resolved yet. Where Is America?

2 for 2 ain’t bad.

He probably wants it destroyed because he had to use the forward assist,… unreliable….deadly consequences.

He needs the A-Team special.😆

I would use the word Empathetic (instead of vulnerable), but yepp... a smart move for his larger future financial prospects.

I can also see him "donating" large chunks of "CNN's Financial Ass" back to HIS "LEO and EMT" community.

Juries would eat that stuff up like bacon cheese fries and Buffalo wings.

Destroying / discarding a weapon used to kill by a lead 'hero' character as a symbolic move is really not at all uncommon in scripted movies.

100% agree. has to be incredibly traumatic.

While I think Kyle should fly beneath the radar, I suspect this was a strategic move suggested by an advisor.

tsk

The young guy is obviously in a lot of pain from this. If he wants to get rid of it as part of his healing process, how can we argue against it. Besides, there's no shortage of them.
