So I do believe that Rittenhouse, in breaking these two laws, has also made himself subject to breaking a federal law pertaining to the interstate transport of a firearm. Rittenhouse admitted to all of these actions.

It was his gun, not his parents. He had an older friend purchase it for him and luckily that dummy is facing two felony charges as well. It was actually that friend that talked Rittenhouse into going to the protests as well. Shame info on that trial is harder to come by

Rittenhouse had left his "protective position" and entered the fray. Rittenhouse was also not a trained medic nor did he ever try and help anyone at the protest by giving aid, even while given ample opportunity.

I partially blame social media for this as well. Apparently, the owner of the car dealership asked for the public's help defending his business and the result was this ####### militia group that organized on Facebook showing up to do it. That's why Rittenhouse and his buddy Black were even there
