Rittenhouse prosecution shoots from the hip
There are three basic rules of gun safety: always keep your firearm pointed in a safe direction, always keep it unloaded until you're ready to use, and never put your finger on the trigger until you're ready to shoot. Thomas Binger, the lead prosecutor in the Kyle Rittenhouse trial, violated two of those three rules in the courtroom Monday. Binger, who has built most of his case on Rittenhouse's decision to carry a rifle to the Kenosha riots last summer, pointed a rifle at the crowded courtroom with his finger directly on the trigger. It was a stunning bookend to the prosecution's fantastical argument against Rittenhouse, and the latest reminder that those who wish to take away your right to defend yourself with firearms know next to nothing about them.
