The Wisconsin State Crime Lab destroyed Kyle Rittenhouse’s AR-15 on February 25, 2022. Rittenhouse’s attorneys and prosecutors agreed the gun would be destroyed as Attorney Mark Richards said Rittenhouse didn’t want someone to buy it and turn it into a trophy. For more videos and photos, visit

What a shame it killed commies, pedos and burglars. It should be in the Smithsonian
For me I can understand why he destroyed it but I would not have. The gun put a pedo, and two domestic abusing commies in their place. It's a symbol of what the 2nd amendment was written for.
Just saying Kyle should be in jail just saying
What a waste of a rifle
Girl got sum serious thumbs! Holy hell!
"With this character's death, the thread of prophecy is severed. Restore a saved game to restore the weave of fate, or persist in the doomed world you have created,"
I understand why he would want it destroyed but I would've kept it. Thing saved his life.
Should have went to a museum
I hate the fact that our government is pushing so hard for us Americans not to have legally owned firearms to protect ourselves and I hope Kyle went and got another, this just gos to show you how badly out government wants to disarmed us
Kyle for President 2024!❤🤍💙🇺🇸🇺🇸. Love you Brother!.
I'm glad Kyle was able to save his life before it was destroyed!
🔴🇺🇸2022, police now protect gangters 2022🔴🔴🇺🇸🇺🇸
Every gun should be given back to the owner after proven innocent. This is wrong!
That poor rifle.
So many commenters here don't seem to understand THIS WAS DONE AT KYLE'S REQUEST. THE STATE DID NOT SEIZE THE GUN AND DESTROY IT, KYLE REQUESTED IT BE DESTROYED.
There was a lot of emotional baggage attached to it for him, and he feared it becoming some holy grail for gun enthusiasts and be some collectors item. This is not gun control, this is not the state overstepping its bounds, this is not a violation of the 2nd amendment. It is the state doing what was requested by the owner for the owners mental health. Kyle has talked about this, he is not in favor of gun control or destroying guns to take them off the streets, he just wanted that particular rifle destroyed because of the trauma he sees as attached to it.
Again, I want to emphasize: IT WAS NOT SEIZED BY THE STATE. This is not a gun control issue. He wanted it gone because it reminded him of the most traumatic event of his life. And frankly, that makes a lot of sense, I understand why he'd want that.
Completely understandable why Kyle decided to do this, but never forget, certain politicians, bureaucrats, celebrities, elites et cetera want this to be the eventual fate of every privately owned, legal gun in our country.
Not going into the shredder of course, would be the guns used by all the above’s licensed security details, arms we ship around the globe to fuel foreign conflicts, & nearly all the guns being used by criminals everyday on our streets.
Oh that hurt to watch
America would be a better place had you saved the rifle and destroyed Antifa and BLM. But hey, this makes you feel good about yourselves, right Liberals?
Glad Kyle did this instead of parading it around as some token like some would do. He was justified regardless, and I'd be surprised if he didn't pick up another one the day he was found NOT guilty.
Kyle should have kept it and had his mom drive him to Ukraine instead.
Let's go Brandon
Jesus Loves You
Kyle Rittenhouse, needs to sue the Police or Sheriff's office for destroying his rifle.
Now he should melt that down and make an AR-10 (.308)
The red dot and the mag?!
One of the most historically significant weapons of the 21st century as related to the constitutional rights of every law abiding and LEGAL American citizen!
You can have mine when you pry them from my cold dead hands. That weapon could have saved his life again, either from the same way or save it from the ones showed destroying it.
Add them to the lawsuit list.
IT SHOULD BE IN A MUSEUM!!!
Big Deal, it's a cheap $800.00 rifle. It's not like they destroyed a $2850.00 Hodge Defense AU-Mod 2.
What a waste of perfectly good iron!
What a shame
These comments 😐
My only question would be: What right did the state have to keep the gun or destroy it? Once Rittenhouse was found not guilty, the weapon should have been returned to him. That was his personal property that he paid for with his own money. When the jury said he was not guilty the Government lost any right to seizure of the weapon. Now they videoed themselves seizing the gun in violation of the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution and further destroying his personal property without compensation.
They need to be added to his list of lawsuits to reimburse him in full for the cost of the gun, the magazine and the Red Dot sights, as well as punitive damages for violating his Constitutional Rights to keep and bear arms.
Good riddance
Not like the Kyle can't afford thousands of AR15s when he's done suing all these liberals for their ludicrous remarks about him.
That was Kyle's right. Ask yourself, " Do you want a weapon in your home that has created more grief in your life" I wish everyone best of luck in there Journey that this Firearm has caused justice to and injustice too
The gun that saved his life. I hope he purchased another.
Kyle will regret shredding that later in life.
I am glad it was Kyle's decision not the courts. It's likely he already has another one since having it saved his life.
Pure stupidity. Makes NO sense. Leftist Fools at work making themselves feel virtuous
