Thank you for the clarification with the state lines. What breaks my mind is that there is some kind of weird loophole where an under aged person can actually own and use a tool created primarily to kill other people, then they go ahead and kill people ( self defense or not ) and who ever actually owns the weapon ( or who sold it to the minor ) is not responsible for anything. I’ve said it another reply, am not from the US and am not living there either, so this is just the opinion of someone looking from the outside.
Dominick Black, the friend of Rittenhouse who sold him the rifle, is still very much on the hook for acting as a straw purchaser for a minor, a felony act. It’s also notable that many of the far-right groups that were there that night are being sued by the family of the deceased for negligence. I’m not sure how that works out from a legal point, since they have a legal right to free assembly.
