‘A gun rights organisation is "awarding" Kyle Rittenhouse with an AR-15-style rifle following his acquittal at trial on homicide charges for fatally shooting two men and injuring another with a similar weapon.
Gun Owners of America - which claims to represent 2 million gun owners in the US - "will be awarding Kyle Rittenhouse with an AR-15 for his defense of gun rights in America," according to a post on the group's Twitter account.
"Join us in saying THANK YOU to Kyle Rittenhouse for being a warrior for gun owners and self defense rights across the country!" the post states.’
If Rittenhouse is still a resident of Illinois, he’ll need a parent or guardian to sponsor his FOID.
