Kyle Rittenhouse will destroy the gun used to kill two rioters, he said Tuesday.
The gun also wounded a third rioter in August 2020 at protests over the police shooting of Jacob Blake in Kenosha, Wisconsin. The weapon is already in the process of being destroyed, he said.
"We're having [the gun] destroyed right now," Rittenhouse said in an interview. "We don't want anything to do with that."
Assistant District Attorney Thomas Binger, who prosecuted the case, brought the gun to court and even lifted it up to demonstrate how Rittenhouse allegedly used it. Rittenhouse criticized Binger for his apparent lack of gun safety knowledge.
"Corey, that's gun safety 101," he recounted telling his defense attorney, Corey Chirafisi. "Loaded or unloaded, treat a gun like it's loaded."
