Comment on Rittenhouse killed two people and bragged about it. Colleges shouldn't host him to speak.

He was a carrying it concealed without a permit. That’s illegal. It’s possible he was a felon as well which makes carrying a weapon illegal.

I’m against permits and asking for permission to have something. No object is illegal, only how it is used. If it is about preventing all homocide, the country must ban citizens having knives, wrenches, hammers, bats, lighters, torches, etc. It’s a cultural problem, a moral problem. There is no reason inviduals can’t buy a fully automatic, and RPG, or a tank if they haave the money, if someone trained and skilled in proper use in a responsibility. In previous generations, children or minors knew how to handle the family firearms, including cleaning and maintenance. It’s a problem of society cultural rot.

You have no issues with Gaige having a firearm even with his criminal past and trying to harm innocent people? I have a huge issue with that.
