Why would there be? KR did **NOT** "straw purchase" a firearm; The person who completed the sale did. But did he really? A straw purchase occurs when one person buys a gun for someone else who is either prohibited by law from possessing a gun or who does not want his or her name associated with the transaction.

So who is a prohibited person?

This group includes anyone who:

• is a felon

• has been convicted of any crime punishable by more than a year in prison (whether or not they were ever sentenced to or served a day in prison)

• is under indictment for any crime punishable by more than a year in prison

• is a fugitive

• is an unlawful user of any controlled substance

• has been adjudicated as a mental defective

• has been committed to a mental institution

• is an illegal alien

• has a dishonorable discharge from the military

• has renounced their U.S. citizenship

• is the subject of a restraining order restraining the person from harassing, stalking, or threatening an intimate partner or the child of an intimate partner, or

• who has been convicted of a misdemeanor crime of domestic violence

The US military routinely takes 17 year olds and provides them with firearms. So just being 17 years old, at least under federal law, does not seem to make one a prohibited person.

A rapidly anti-gun co-worker of mine is retiring at the end of this year and for personal reasons I hope this is all finished before then so I can rub this in her nose. She was all over this when it happened and ya'll can guess her opinions.

She’ll tell you the same thing she probably told you after the Heller and McDonald rulings: "the court got it wrong". They just love Love, LOVE the courts, until the court decides they’re wrong.

Yeah, I'm sure she would, but didn't we do the same thing with the whole ACA is a tax ruling even though the government lawyer argued it wasn't a tax? I still think Roberts was wrong on that one.

The ACA is a tax ruling was the final arbiter and affected the entirety of the U.S. population. This, whatever the ruling, no so much.

The number of people affected isn't really what I was talking about, however, a ruling against Kyle now or in the future in appeals courts if it ever gets to that level could affect many. Not the entire country, but still many. I was only observing that people on both sides of an opinion tend to say a court got something wrong when they disagree with a ruling. Sometimes the people are right and sometimes they are wrong.

Everyone has affordable health insurance now right?

That’s why we don’t hear about it anymore, problem solved.

Judge does not order Kyle rear rested or bond raised.

Huh. So was it fake news he was a flight risk.

OneGun wrote: ↑Sun Sep 20, 2020 9:40 pm The world is messed up. The other day, on a news website, I explained in the comments section on a story about Kyle that Kyle was running away before he fired his gun, and only fired when he fell and was cornered by three people that were attacking him. A person argued with me that the three people were chasing Kyle in self-defense for the shooting they expected him to commit.

I have never heard such baloney before.

I have never understood the logic that running away from a confrontation makes you the aggressor. Nonetheless, the DA charged Kyle with murder for shooting the people that were chasing him, cornering him, and attacking him. Did the DA really expect Kyle to let himself get killed? And the people attacking Kyle are felons. I don't understand the logic that Kyle was the aggressor.

When I took my CHL class many moons ago, the instructor said, you cannot claim self-defense if you are the aggressor. His suggestion when you are outside of your home, avoid the confrontation. Leave the area. His next point, was if you have to shoot, you,your loved one, etc. have to be in imminent harm.

Because of the political crisis in this country, the moral compass is gone. What was right, is now wrong and vice versa. People that were never slaves demand reparations from people that never owned slaves. Defunding the police will make us safer. The Anti-facists use the violent tactics they attribute to conservatives and Trump supporters, but you never see violent masses of conservatives protesting, looting, and rioting. If race relations are so bad as the media makes our country out to be, then how come my black neighbors and colleagues and I get along so well? How did we end up in this Twilight Zone?

Amusing aside:
Interview with McGinnis by Detective Cepress:
"McGinnis stated that he had handled many ARs and [Rittenhouse] was not handling the weapon very well."
Based on the videos I've seen Rittenhouse is one of the best weapons handlers under pressure I've ever seen. So much for McGinnis' credibility.]

His other mistake was that he could not legally carry a rifle either. In Wisconsin, it is illegal for a minor to be in possession of any loaded weapon.
