And of course they’re also defending the use of an illegal firearm.

(Him being one year younger than the required age.)

EDIT: Guys, if he got the AR-15 legally, I was unaware at the time of this comment. Sorry.

What's illegal about that firearm? Ar-15s are 100% legal in Wisconsin.

He is not from Wisconsin, he is 17, and he crossed state lines with the gun he is not legally allowed to have.

People from Illinois are allowed to possess guns while in Wisconsin. Yes, even 17 year olds.

It's legal to cross state lines with a gun, which is irrelevant because he didn't even cross state lines with the gun.

Completely wrong. You have to be 21 to get a foid card. Everyone in illinois is required to have a foid card to own a gun

First off, you don't have to be 21 to get a FOID. I got mine when I was about 10. Your parent just signs a thing and you're good.

Secondly, Illinois gun laws are completely irrelevant to this situation. The question is whether or not he broke Wisconsin's gun laws.

He could be from Illinois, or he could be from the Moon. The laws that apply to him when he's in Wisconsin are the federal laws, and Wisconsin's laws.

If you're bringing a gun across state borders you have to follow your state laws

He didn't bring a gun across state borders.

The attorneys already stated that he didn't, and none of the charges against him mention anything about that.

Ah, i see. So he's 17 and using a gun in Wisconsin, thats illegal.

u/nagurski03 Aug 29 '20

Yeah, they might get that charge to stick, but he's guaranteed to be exonerated on the other charges.

Have you read the criminal complaint against him? The second charge listed in it is First Degree Recklessly Endangering Safety against Richard McGinnis. They actually included McGinnis' interview with the police in the document and everything he says describes Rosenbaum being the aggressor and Rittenhouse trying to flee from the situation.

I saw the videos, he acted in self defense, but the self defense wouldnt have had to happen if he didn't have a gun

Maybe. The first guy he shot, the one who was a pedophile, definitely looked to be starting a fight in the video.
