WI law about 16 & 17 year olds carrying rifles and / or shotguns

948.60  Possession of a dangerous weapon by a person under 18.

(1)  In this section, “dangerous weapon" means any firearm, loaded or unloaded; ...
(2) 
(a) Any person under 18 years of age who possesses or goes armed with a dangerous weapon is guilty of a Class A misdemeanor.
...

(3) 

(c) This section applies only to a person under 18 years of age who possesses or is armed with a rifle or a shotgun if the person is in violation of s. 941.28 or is not in compliance with ss. 29.304 and 29.593


29.304  Restrictions on hunting and use of firearms by persons under 16 years of age.

(1)  Persons under 12 years of age.

(2) Persons 12 to 14 years of age.

(3) Persons 14 to 16 years of age.

...

(b) Restrictions on possession or control of a firearm. No person 14 years of age or older but under 16 years of age may have in his or her possession or control any firearm unless he or she:

...

(4) Parental obligation. No parent or guardian of a child under 16 years of age may authorize or knowingly permit the child to violate this section.

(5) Exception.


Nothing in 29.304 applies to people between ages 16 and 18. 


941.28  Possession of short-barreled shotgun or short-barreled rifle.  He isn't in violation of that

29.593  Requirement for certificate of accomplishment to obtain hunting approval.  Doesn't apply, he wasn't hunting, and he's over the age of 16


So the law is quite clear, Kyle Rittenhouse is not guilty of violating any WI law for carrying that rifle

Stealing the 2020 Presidential election

 1: No honest vote counter blocks poll watchers from doing their job. 2: It is a generally accepted rule in international elections monitoring that "blocked poll watchers" == "fraudulent election outcome."  See: Uganda, Jan 2021. 3: I know that Detroit, Philly, Atlanta, are are on clear public record as having blocked Trump campaign poll watchers.  Those right there are enough to flip the election 4: Therefore any claim that "of course the election was honest and fair, and anyone who claims otherwise is a nut" is a statement utterly lacking in principle or value, and to make that claim is to self identify as a nut. 5: http://wkow.com/2020/11/13/concerns-over-indefinitely-confined-voting-law-as-thousands-use-the-option-due-to-covid-19/ In 2016 there were ~60k "indefinitely confined" absentee voters in WI (IC voters can vote absentee without providing State issued photo ID.  All others have to provide it, and thus prove they're actual real peop...

Why Cuomo belongs in jail

 I posted this over here , in response to the post  and this argument: If Cuomo broke positive law by retaliating against women who had lodged complaints about his behavior, then those retaliation-related allegations (if true) could supply a good basis for impeachment. The COVID19 allegations are entirely different. If Cuomo chose poorly (as we now understand it) in sending elderly patients with COVID19 into nursing homes, but did so acting on the information before him and for disinterested ends (i.e., in the narrow sense of not taking any bribes), then that is a reason for voters (if they so choose) to boot him out of office, but not for the legislature to impeach. Otherwise, you are converting impeachment into an ongoing legislative vote of no confidence. As my comment still hasn't escaped moderation, I'm posting it here: "If Cuomo chose poorly (as we now understand it) in sending elderly patients with COVID19 into nursing homes, but did so acting on the information bef...

CDC justification for new masking rules is total trash

 Thank you Instapundit The CDC's study says In July 2021, following multiple large public events in a Barnstable County, Massachusetts, town, 469 COVID-19 cases were identified among Massachusetts residents who had traveled to the town during July 3–17; 346 (74%) occurred in fully vaccinated persons. Testing identified the Delta variant in 90% of specimens from 133 patients. Cycle threshold values were similar among specimens from patients who were fully vaccinated and those who were not. So, let's lay some groundwork (thank you Twitchy ): Town population less than 3,000 County population about 220,000 40,000 people show up for "Bear Week", a week of gay celebration for people, many of who just spent the week before "Pride partying" in NYC One of the more popular bars "resembles a kind of dank dungeon where sweat drips from the ceiling and mold reaches up the walls" A large number of the people there are going for the sex.  Note: gay men having se...
