Kyle Rittenhouse Sends Message To Joe Biden And Nancy Pelosi: “I am alive today because I was able to protect myself
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi will try a doomed effort to push sweeping gun control bills through Congress next week. The Senate will block her, she doesn’t even have 50 Dem votes for it, but she will still try.
“Saving our children can and must be a unifying mission for our nation,” Pelosi said. “To all those in the Congress who would stand in the way of saving lives: your political survival is insignificant compared to the survival of our children. We will not rest until the job is done.”
President Joe Biden gave a big speech last night saying he was all for what Pelosi is cooking up. He said: “We need to ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines. And if we can’t ban assault weapons, then we should raise the age to purchase them from 18 to 21.
“Strengthen background checks; enact safe storage and red flag laws; repeal the immunity, that protect gun manufacturers from liability; address the mental health crisis, deepening the trauma of gun violence.
“I want to be very clear – this is not about taking away anyone’s guns. It is not about vilifying gun owners.
I am alive today because I was able to protect myself.

“But, my God, the fact that the majority of the Senate Republicans don’t want any of these proposals even to be debated or come up for a vote I find unconscionable.
“Even before the pandemic, people were already hurting. There’s a serious mental health crisis in this country.
“The House of Representatives already passed key measures we need, expanding background checks to cover nearly all gun sales.
“It’s time for the Senate to do something. But as we know, in order to … get anything done in the Senate, we need a minimum of 10 Republican senators.”
“We can’t fail the American people again.”
Enter Kyle Rittenhouse who said simply:
“I am alive today because I was able to protect myself.”
He added, “The right of people to keep and bear arms shall NOT be infringed, Joe.”
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., said:
“Joe Biden wants to ban ‘assault weapons’ and ‘high capacity magazines’ yet Democrats refuse to prosecute violent crimes in Democrat cities all over the country, and refuse to protect your children at school with armed security.
“Same Democrats are protected by armed guards daily.”
“The right of people to keep and bear arms shall NOT be infringed,” Joe.
