    Ever since Trump it's been a scary place. So, bury your head in the sand and it will all go away.

    Not true at all.

    Edit. You said some people. This is not the majority of gun owners and gun rights advocates. Some are even democrats.

    guns don't kill people. People kill people.

    If 3 people are coming at me and I see 2 with guns and the other is hitting me with a weapon I'm probably not wasting much time searching them for guns.

    So lets toss an analogy out there.
    If i trespass onto private property with an illegal gun in the woods and im pointing it at animals and then a bear attacks me. Am i then not able to be allowed to defend myself because the gun is illegal?

    yes im guilty of tresspass. Yes im guilty of possession of illegal firearms. But im guilty of murdering a bear too??? When it attacked me with two other bears???

    doesnt seem right to me…..

    and my motive for tresspassing is irrelevant. Maybe i was trying to prevent a forest fire or maybe i was hunting deer….irrelevant…

    Rittenhouse's lawyers have been trying to get the trial thrown out because of an issue with the video because the Jury is taking to long and scaring them.

    Yeah, one of the McMichaels took the stand and claimed self defense. Using the Rittenhouse, he grabbed my gun defense. Yeah, Arbery grabbed it to stop him from using it on him after they chased him down in their trucks and cornered him. Arbery was defending himself. He was fighting for his life and the McMichaels took it.

    An officer testified at most Arbery would have got a ticket for trespassing. Instead he got murdered.

    No. They gave the jury a much clearer version of a video clip than they gave the defense. That is incredibly shady and could have altered how the defense handled the case.

    Some of you all are why nobody should ever be in a position where you are in court. I've been on a jury before. It was disgusting how much people use their feelings instead of looking at the law and trying to put no emotion into deciding if the prosecution did their part providing enough evidence to convict. Or if the defense showed enough doubt in the evidence provided. Or showed why the law supports why their client should not be convicted.

    Either someone broke the law or they did not. The evidence has to be there. You have to follow the law and only use the evidence that has been presented.

    It got compacted after being transferred from an iphone to an Android. It wasn't on purpose.

    I mean, maybe it wasn't on purpose. Either way, that is something that could have altered a defense strategy. It should be thrown out.

    Not so much the needle itself, it’s just a tool, kind of like a gun.

    This right here is the 100% truth! I could care less if this kid is found guilty or innocent but nothing they have shown so far says anything other than he was acting in self defense. Those of you saying KR should fry for being at a protest/rally with a gun are no better than the people saying he should be found not guilty because the guys he killed had committed crimes in the past. You're not looking at the law, you're letting emotions dictate your actions and that's the exact opposite of what this jury should be doing.

    At this point your just a hysterical mess and everything you’re saying is based on emotions and not facts. No thanks.

    I like the idea of an intruder chasing me around the house while I find the keys to the safe.

    So then no safes. Or just for the fun guns, but the bad guy guns leave out so easy access. Just making sure I have it all straight, although I don’t need to know or care as long as you guys have all your guns organized I’m sure we’re all fine
