    Do you remember the part of the story where nobody cared about the shirt? It’s possible people cared but didn’t say anything because they didn’t want to cause a conflict. The same is true of a gun. You’re allowed to carry a gun and people are allowed to disagree but they are not allowed to attack you for it. Not without consequences anyway.

      If I’m just using my eyes, the difference between a good guy with a gun and a bad guy with a gun is the bad guy is shooting at people. But by that point, it’s too late. You might be allowed to carry a gun, but people may be scared of it, and justifiably so.

      If he took the gun with him, he was anticipating the need to protect himself. By simply taking the gun, he acknowledges that he is putting himself in danger. So why did he go? Aside from bloodlust, what was the purpose of him going?

      Murders with guns happen. This fact has still not led to the seizure of weapons in the US. So, why are so many gun proponents afraid to admit Rittenhouse is a murderer who unfairly got away with his crimes?
