The Supreme Court on Tuesday overturned a lower court ruling from Pennsylvania that allowed residents under 21 to carry firearms in public, though the justices declined for now to hear arguments in the case themselves.
This ruling would have been helpful to have stopped Kyle Rittenhouse from killing two people and wounding another back in 2020 in Wisconsin when he crossed state lines with an assault rifle as age 17.
Not really. Kyle travelled from Illinois to Wisconsin with his rifle in order to kill two people. He did not travel through Pennsylvania, so this law wouldn’t have applied to him.
The key context is that this type of law in Wisconsin would have made it illegal for Kyle to not only purchase a firearm, but illegal to own/brandish/carry one.
Would it have stopped someone from illegally buying Kyle one or Kyle using it? No. But then he wouldn’t have gotten away with murder.
No…no it won’t. The fuck is with you people thinking criminals will magically follow the laws…you know the large inner cities have a problem with giggle switches on glocks being carried by literal kids right? Chicago tried to sue glock because of it.
Criminals don’t magically stop doing something because you made it illegal.
You fix the problem at the source, and focus on the why it’s happening, not with what was used.

Pretty sure Kyle traveled without a firearm and had someone of-age purchase him one across state lines.
Here is an article about the guy who purchased him the gun, since Kyle couldn’t legally, taking a plea deal. https://abcnews.go.com/US/friend-bought-rifle-kyle-rittenhouse-plea-deal/story?id=82178053
All of that happened in Wisconsin. What does it have to do with Pennsylvania?

Ok? You could play that game for any law with any crime.
If Wisconsin had a law making it illegal to cross state lines then he would have been stopped too.
You’re just saying “what if”. This has nothing to do with the Pennsylvania law.
Yes, you could play that game for many laws. One like this, specifically, could have helped Kyle face justice. That’s the point.
I bet it would have helped at the grassy knoll too!
Lmao okay reply guy!
If other states adopt the law now that SCOTUS has blessed it, of course it will be useful.
