In reply to the discussion: Rob Reiner appears to be grossly uninformed. [View all]Ocelot II
(115,691 posts)70. Really?
The AR-15 was stored at the Kenosha home of the person who purchased the weapon and Rittenhouse retrieved it there before going to the protests. Rittenhouse, then 17, was not old enough to buy an AR-15 at the time.
The buyer of the AR-15, Dominick Black, does face possible federal exposure related to the straw purchase of the firearm. Black testified during Rittenhouse's trial and he faces two charges of intentionally giving a dangerous weapon to someone younger than 18, resulting in death, in state court.
Federal authorities have looked into Black's purchase of the rifle, a spokesperson for the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives told the Journal Sentinel earlier this year. Black testified he knew Rittenhouse was younger than 18 when he took Rittenhouse's money and purchased the gun for him.

I think it was because the killer was underaged, turns out it wasn't because of that.

He clearly thinks Rittenhouse is a gun-humping rube, harmful to society. Hard to argue with that.

It is no different than a kid paying for a hunting rifle and his father buying it in his name
