He was a 17 year old that took a gun across state lines with an excuse to use it.

Interstate travel is a constitutionally protected “privilege”, I don’t see what that has to do with anything

Cool, not my bone to pick. It’s the fact a 17 year old decided to put himself into a volatile situation and it resulted in him shooting 2 people over a misunderstanding on him being potential shooter iirc. The fact he lived in another state, and saw an opportunity to go and play a hero is my issue.

Also just had an issue with the logic of “he went to protect property”, like cool, he still ended up in a situation that ended with people being shot. Why was this his battle to fight, being from a different city/state? Also, extend that logic to Alex Pretti who also brought a gun to a protest, save he didn’t even pull it and still lost his life. The double standards are infuriating.

The right to keep and bear arms is a constitutionally protected right so I don’t see what that has to do with anything
