Kyle Rittenhouse is launching a pro-gun rights nonprofit in Texas, seemingly part of his efforts to become an influential operative in the state’s far-right political scene.

The 20-year-old last month filed papers with the Texas secretary of state’s office to establish The Kyle Rittenhouse Foundation, according to the Texas Tribune.

The nonprofit reportedly seeks to protect “human and civil rights secured by law, including an individual’s inalienable right to bear arms” and ensure the Second Amendmentis “preserved through education and legal assistance.”

Mr Rittenhouse is listed as a director along with prominent state political activists Chris McNutt, the president of Texas Gun Rights, and the Defend Texas Liberty PAC treasurer Shelby Griesinger, The Tribune reported.

The foundation’s registered agent is the law firm of Tony McDonald, whose social media bio declares that he “sues the State of Texas for not being right wing enough”.…..

WASHINGTON (AP) — Republican support for gun restrictions is slipping a year after Congress passed the most comprehensive firearms control legislation in decades with bipartisan support, according to a poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research.

That’s led to a gap between Democrats and the GOP on the issue of guns that has widened in the last year. Democrats have consistently outpaced Republicans and independents in their belief that gun laws in the U.S. should be strengthened, but GOP support has dropped even further behind, the poll found.

Most Democrats, 92%, want gun laws made stronger, in line with their views in a UChicago Harris/AP-NORC poll conducted in July 2022. But Republican desire for more expansive legislation has dropped to 32% from 49% last summer and independents’ support also declined slightly to 61% from 72%.

“We’ve tried to legislate things for years without a lot of success, and I don’t really think law and regulation are the answer to our problems,” said Robert Lloyd, 57, of Booneville, Arkansas, who is a registered Republican but says he has “lost faith in both sides.” “I think our problems go way beyond guns.”…….

Groomers are real. The right grooms people into hating others for simply existing. For just acknowledging existence.

Cue the crazy lone nut theory

Guess what kind of firearm was legally purchased and used in the Jacksonville Florida shooting?

The AR15 has been used in mass killings over, and over, and over, and over again. Does it get banned? No.

There is something seriously wrong in America.

Our problems do go beyond guns, but guns are a major problem. Loosening laws to make it easier to get and retain guns is the last thing we should do. The paranoia that we need the guns to fight our government needs to be resolved so that it shouldn’t prevent us from passing laws that make us safer from the real threat, which is radical, violent, hateful and/or insane people. Our government is not the threat for law abiding people. It’s our people that are the threat.

Kyle Rittenhouse, who as a teenager shot and killed two people at an anti-racism protest in Kenosha, Wisconsin, is being sued by the estate of one of the men who died, according to court documents.

Since the killings Rittenhouse has become a high-profile figure on the US right, feted at events by rightwingers, appearing on conservative media and lauded by gun rights activists.

But in a lawsuit filed in Wisconsin this week, lawyers representing the estate of Joseph Rosenbaum, who Rittenhouse shot with an assault rifle in August 2020, said Rittenhouse and a series of other defendants had “intentionally and unjustifiably caused the death of Joseph Rosenbaum”

Rosenbaum’s estate is also suing several law enforcement departments, including the Kenosha police department and Kenosha county sheriff’s department, along with the City of Kenosha. The lawsuit was submitted on Friday, and the estate is seeking unnamed damages.

In a post on X, formerly known as Twitter, Rittenhouse, who was cleared of homicide and attempted homicide, responded: “I’m being sued again for defending my life.”…..
