Kyle Rittenhouse Celebrates Supreme Court Bump Stock Ruling
Published Jun 15, 2024 at 10:42 AM EDT

Gun rights activist Kyle Rittenhouse, who as a 17-year-old shot and killed two Black Lives Matter protesters in Kenosha, Wisconsin, in 2020, celebrated the Supreme Court's ruling on Friday lifting a Trump-era ban against bump stocks.

"Time to celebrate and buy a bump stock," the 21-year-old wrote on X on Friday after the U.S. top court ruled with a 6 to 3 majority that the federal government had been wrong to classify bump stocks as machine guns.


Newsweek contacted Rittenhouse by direct message on X on Saturday morning.
