The upcoming verdict in Kyle Rittenhouse’s murder trial for shooting three men during street unrest in Wisconsin comes against a backdrop of deep political divisions and expanded access to guns in the United States – factors that some fear could lead to more dangerous encounters.

While legal experts have said the details give Rittenhouse a strong argument for self-defense, some worry about the broader signal an acquittal could send. The jury that heard the case
deliberated a full day Tuesday without reaching a decision; they return Wednesday.
“It’s easy to see how an acquittal could send the message that there are no consequences for showing up armed wherever you want, and then when situations escalate, you pull the trigger and get away with it,” said Nick Suplina, senior vice president for law and policy at Everytown for Gun Safety.

"When things escalate"
You mean someone who also has a gun an points it at you?
Or someone is dumb enough to physically attack you?
They deserve to be shot or killed
If you try and attack someone you cannot control yourself.
If you cannot control yourself you are capabale of anything
What ridiculous risk should you take because someone cannot control themselves and has no issue hurting you?
