Damned if they do, damned if they don't.
I'm trying to figure what this has to do with the shooting.Yup.
I don't understand why you quoted my post in your reply.2. He crossed state lines. He lived 20 miles from Kenosha in Antioch, Ill., with his mother and sisters. But his father, grandmother, aunt, uncle, cousins and best friend live in Kenosha. He had a job as a lifeguard in Kenosha and worked a shift on Aug. 25 before helping clean graffiti left by rioters at a local school. There, he and his friend were invited to join other adults who had been asked by the owners of a used car lot in Kenosha to guard the property after 100 cars had been torched the previous night, when police abandoned the town to rioters. Kyle took his gun to protect himself, since the rioters were violent and armed, including, for instance, Antifa medic Gaige Grosskreutz, who lunged at him with a loaded Glock pointed at his head before he was shot in the arm.
5. Rittenhouse’s mother drove him across state lines to the riot. Wendy Rittenhouse, 46, never went to Kenosha. She slept late the morning of Aug. 25 after working a 16-hour shift at a nursing home near her home in Antioch, she told the Chicago Tribune. Kyle had already gone to his job in Kenosha when she woke up.

3. Rittenhouse took an AR-15 across state lines. Esquire accused him of “terrorist tourism.” False. His rifle was kept in a safe at his best friend’s stepfather’s house in Kenosha.
4. The gun was illegal. Wrong. Under Wisconsin law, he was entitled to possess the AR-15 as a 17-year-old. The judge dismissed the gun charge, which the prosecution never should have brought
SBR's (Short Barreled Rifle) down here means any rifle with a sub 16" barrel - they are NFA items and require a $200 Tax Stamp to posses (if allowed in your state), and you cannot cross a state line with a personally owned one without approval from the ATF (ATF 5320.20)And further to the gun
EXPLAINER: Why did judge drop Rittenhouse gun charge?
MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Prosecutors in Kyle Rittenhouse’s murder trial may have lost their best chance at convicting the Illinois man of something when the judge threw out a charge that Rittenhouse was a minor in possession of a dangerous weapon.apnews.com
He could legally carry a weapon, he just couldn't purchase it. Nor could he, nor anybody else, carry it if it was a "dangerous" weapon ie one that was sawn off

Kevin,
Thank you. I went through that NY Post article as well, maybe I should have posted it.

the guilty white people who need to feel outrage over everything.
How far does it go though? The RCMP/Liberals are already banning single shot rifles that are "too powerful" and bolt action rifles and shotguns because they look wrong. I maybe could accept some of these restrictions if I knew there was an endpoint. Even the banning of handguns and all semi automatics which will probably be the next step.
Because the politicians push for the prosecutors/police to press charges to appear they are "doing something", then throw up their hands and blame the court when the case that should never get that far fails, they also hope to win some because the other side does not have the money/stamina and health to fight and pleads to lesser charge to escape the threat.
