According to reports, the gun used by Kyle Rittenhouse in the Kenosha, WI shootings will be destroyed despite conflicting reports that Rittenhouse would go to court in an attempt to retrieve the weapon.
“The parties – the defense, the state, and also Dominick Black, who purchased that firearm — have all signed off on a stipulation whereby the Kenosha Police Department and Joint Services will destroy that firearm, as well as the magazine, and the scope,” said Kenosha County Assistant District Attorney Thomas Binger. “It will not be in anyone’s possession.”
This comes on the heels of Rittenhouse's legal team filing a motion to have all of his belongings returned. Rittenhouse claims that he wanted the gun returned so he could destroy it himself and squash any attempt at profiting off it. However, Kenosha authorities plan to destroy the weapon to ensure it cannot become a piece of political memorabilia.
