The first thing the Kyle Rittenhouse verdict tells us is this:
The right of self-defense is alive and well. Rittenhouse was able to prevail despite the vitriol and hysteria surrounding this case. The decision shows that typical Americans, represented by the jurors on the case, still believe in a meaningful right to self-defense.
But in cases like this, with so much bias and political pressure, you never know what the jury will decide. So this acquittal is encouraging.
Second, the case reminds us that the right to self-defense is more important than ever. With certain politicians and groups pushing initiatives such as defund the police, we’ll probably see more events like those that occurred in Kenosha in 2020. The right to self-defense is particularly important when law and order breaks down.
Here’s the third takeaway:
The Rittenhouse case highlights the importance of the big Second Amendment case currently before the Supreme Court. That case, New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen, will decide whether ordinary law-abiding citizens have a right to carry firearms outside the home.
It’s great that Rittenhouse’s self-defense claim succeeded. But in several blue states, law-abiding citizens wouldn’t even have been in a position to defend themselves as he did. Why not? Because state law prohibits typical citizens from carrying firearms outside the home without carry permits. So a lot is on the line at the Supreme Court.
And number four:
The Rittenhouse trial reinforces the wisdom of our nation's Founders in insisting on the protection of a trial by jury and the right to confront witnesses before a person can be convicted. This trial revealed the false narrative that many in the establishment media created for the case. Along the way you heard plenty of claims that turned out to be false.
Despite the acquittal, there are some cautionary tales here. The anti-gun left wins even when it loses. Yes, Rittenhouse has been found not guilty. But look at what he has endured. For well over a year his life has been turned upside down as he was prosecuted for murder. He has been subject to an unending stream of media abuse. He and his family have devoted all their time and a lot of money to his defense. Think about the impact Rittenhouse’s experience will have on law-abiding citizens like you and me. It could have a chilling effect on those interested in exercising their 2nd Amendment's rights to keep and to bear firearms.
