This is why you wouldn't do what this guy did.

Kyle Rittenhouse is a perfect example of what I'm talking about. He took his AR-15 and drove half an hour to "protect businesses" that he had no stake in. He armed himself and then deliberately embroiled himself in a tense, riotous situation. While he might not have done anything technically illegal, he was clearly spoiling for an opportunity to brandish and use that weapon.

Sadly, that modicum of thought you put into it, is 10000 times more thought than most "responsible gun owners" actually muster

When policing started including less-than-lethal alternatives for eliminating/subduing a threat, cops stopped killing as many people.

When all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail. And while you may not operate that way, gen pop does, even trained “professionals”
