<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By Larry Keane<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gun-control groups have gone apoplectic over the acquittal of Kyle Rittenhouse in Kenosha, Wis. Looking at their statements, social media and reactions, gun control is no longer just gun control. Gun control is no longer about anything close to resembling common sense and has nothing to do with actual community safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s all about control and nothing less.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Rittenhouse trial, news coverage and verdict exposed glaring blind spots in the politicians calling for a rushed prosecution, the media repeating debunked narratives and gun control groups conveniently ignoring actual heinous crimes previously committed by those who attacked Rittenhouse, including during the incidents in which he defended his own life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The prosecution\u2019s rush to charge and courtroom fumbles showed blatant \u2013 if not intentional \u2013 errors. Jonathan Turley, a professor at George Washington University Law School, told Fox News<\/strong><\/a>, \u201cThey [prosecutors] rushed to bring charges against him and then when the case started to fall apart they seemed to become more and more desperate and they started to cut corners and make errors.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That included attempting to turn Rittenhouse\u2019s Constitutional rights against him in the courtroom. Prosecutors alleged Rittenhouse\u2019s Fifth Amendment right to remain silent was indicative of supposed guilt. Prosecutors told the jury<\/strong><\/a> that Rittenhouse didn\u2019t have an inherent right to self-defense and should have \u201ctaken\u201d a \u201cbeating.\u201d They claimed that the mere fact one possesses a firearm negates their self-defense claims.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cue the Outrage<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Rightfully, the jury rejected these perversions of Constitutional rights. That didn\u2019t stop the gun control groups from piling on. This time, though, it wasn\u2019t about guns. It was about clinging to identity groups and rehashing political grievances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Giffords Law Center tweeted<\/a><\/strong> the verdict was a perversion of justice, writing, \u201cKyle Rittenhouse wielded his whiteness as a shield and his AR-15 as a weapon in the streets of Kenosha.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Giffords, the case was all about identity politics. In this case, Giffords chose race. They ignore the fact Rittenhouse\u2019s attackers, against whom he defended himself, were all white. They also ignore that African-American gun buyers grew by 58 percent in 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

GunsAmerica Digest\u2019s S.H. Blannelberry\u00a0cataloged<\/a>\u00a0some of gun control\u2019s hot takes right after the verdict was rendered. March for Our Lives, an off-shoot of billionaire Michael Bloomberg\u2019s Everytown for Gun Safety, said Rittenhouse was a, \u201ctoxic mix of a white supremacist culture\u2026\u201d Shannon Watts, of Mom\u2019s Demand Action gun control group, echoed disproven racial overtones, referencing Rittenhouse by his race.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These were all re-telling of misleading media narratives. For months, mainstream media spouted lies and knew they were false. These gun control groups were more than happy to add to the echo chamber. Rittenhouse\u2019s defense attorney, Mark Richards, blasted the media for their purposeful misrepresentation of even the basic facts of the case. \u201cAnd it makes me angry that they can\u2019t take the time to at least get the generic, basic facts correct because it didn\u2019t fit in the story they wanted to tell,\u201d he told Fox News<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Defending Convicts, Child Molesters<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

These gun control groups that pose as the guardians of community safety are willfully ignorant of basic facts. What\u2019s worse, they are openly defending Rittenhouse\u2019s attackers. Here\u2019s what they won\u2019t say.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rittenhouse\u2019s attackers were all convicted felons. Joseph Rosenbaum, who was killed as Rittenhouse defended himself, was a 36-year-old from Kenosha. At the time of the incident, he was pending charges in Wisconsin for domestic abuse and jumping bail. He was convicted in Arizona in 2002 for child molestation charges, for which he was sentenced to 14 years in prison.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anthony Huber attacked Rittenhouse with his skateboard. The 26-year-old was killed in his attack on Rittenhouse as he was trying to seize Rittenhouse\u2019s rifle. Prior to the incident, he was convicted of domestic abuse and disorderly conduct in 2018. He was sentenced in 2012 for a choking attempt on his own brother.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gaige Grosskreutz, the 28-year-old who was shot in the arm by Rittenhouse, testified on the stand that he pointed a handgun at Rittenhouse before he was shot. None of the gun control groups questioned why Grosskreutz had a gun. He had a criminal charge against him dismissed just six days before the trial. Gun control groups held up Grosskreutz as a \u201cvictim,\u201d but never said anything of his history<\/a><\/strong> of criminal convictions of, \u201cdomestic abuse, trespassing, multiple DUIs, prowling, felony burglary, and two charges of carrying a firearm while drunk,\u201d according to one report. At least one felony was expunged<\/a><\/strong> and several other charges were dismissed. There was never a mention of Grosskreutz carrying a concealed firearm without a valid concealed carry permit, to which he testified had expired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fake outrage, grasping at straws and hypocritical vilification of a young man defending himself while ignoring convicted felons who were true threats to community safety proves that gun control isn\u2019t concerned about safer communities. They\u2019re only concerned about banning guns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
