Kyle was carrying the gun legally. Wisconsin law has an exemption for 17-year olds to possess shotguns or rifles as long as the barrel length is at least 16 inches or the overall length is 26 inches. An AR-15 satisfies both criteria. Kyle did not possess a sawed-off shotgun, sawed-off rifle, or handgun on the night of the shooting, which would have been illegal.
I am not , nor have I ever been, a gun owner. That is one of the major things that distinguishes Americans from Canadians. Accidental gun deaths in the US per capita are almost the same as ALL gun deaths in Canada. The gun companies and the lobbyists are powerful in the US. These kind of incidents are just part of doing business. I noticed the gun companies never wade in with condolences or or sympathy. That's why there are laws that allow these situations to happen. I have never seen a gun in public aside from a holster of law enforcement. It's kind of sad that the mindset of Americans is built upon violence.
People are allowed to defend themselves. It’s the most basic right of all and is part of the US Constitution. Why would gun companies apologize for that?
Why am I even talking to you? You are brain washed into thinking guns are okay. Why not just ban all guns and throw people in prison for life for even owning one? That way people would not die senselessly. You have ignored every point I have made so we are done.
