Rittenhouse prosecutor falsely claims 'You lose the right to self-defense when you're the one who brought the gun'

In his closing arguments in the Kyle Rittenhouse case on Monday, Assistant District Attorney confirmed what many believe about the case, which is that it is intended by the state to be a referendum on the second amendment, the right to keep and bear arms.

He claimed that Rittenhouse lost his right to self-defense because he was "the one who brought the gun." Binger claimed that Rosenbaum never threatened Rittenhouse's life because there was "no video" of it, despite eye-witness testimony to the contrary.

Binger made the case that the melee was a "fist fight," and that Rosenbaum should not have had a gun at all.

"So we're just guessing but let's assume for a minute, yeah, Joseph Rosenbaum is chasing after the defendant because he wants to do some physical harm," Binger began. "He's an unarmed man. This is a bar fight. This is a fist fight. This is a fight that maybe many of you have been involved in. Two people hand-to-hand, were throwing punches, were pushing or shoving, or whatever."
