By Aidan Johnston Tucker Carlson asked America, “How shocked are we that 17-year-olds with rifles decided they had to maintain order when no one else would?” While the question sent the Fake News Media into an anti-gun and pro-riot frenzy, Tucker’s question cuts straight to the heart of an issue plaguing these United States. Nationwide, Americans tune in each night to find that rioting, looting, and unanswered 911 calls are our “new normal.” We are repeatedly seeing American businesses looted and burned down while business owners are beaten and killed for defending their livelihoods. These scenes have already prompted an unprecedented five million Americans to become first time gun owners. These first-time gun owners don’t represent a rise in vigilante justice or militant racism. Americans are keeping and bearing arms to defend themselves, their loved ones, as well as their homes and businesses for the security of our free state. These gun owners and self-defenders are patriotic citizens who exercise their rights protected by the Second Amendment. What do you expect Americans to do when violent mobs are destroying their communities and the police are too afraid to act? We should expect them to defend themselves and their communities—which is just what Kyle Rittenhouse did.
