I'm not an expert in firearms, but it appears to me that he is holding that weapon in a way almost guaranteed to break his shoulder. The stock is to high, so the point on the bottom rear will jab him very painfully and the stock is not pressed tightly against his shoulder. When I was taught to shoot, I was always told that the stock must be against my shoulder.

Not well, but this gear is marketed to self-styled patriots and "tough" guys, who think that it makes them look fearsome.
Shit I don't know much about guns but even I know that.

How does it do against a shopping bag? That’s the real question.
Or in the position on the photo, a shotgun butt to the face. It's not pleasant.
I think he should and fight on the side of Russia so he can see what it's like to have to try to fend off attackers that actually have decent weapons and skill to use those weapons. He wouldn't last a minute and a half I suspect. He would soon find out that he left out one vital piece of equipment these cosplaying rookies would need when facing a real threat - their adult diapers.

If there is no ticket revenue, who is paying Kent State for the use of their auditorium?
I just looked at the flyer again. It says Turning Point USA in the upper left corner, so they are probably paying. Wanna bet there's a "donation" box in the lobby?raison de arizona wrote: ↑Fri Mar 15, 2024 7:00 pmNo idea, but my bet would be a Young Republicans group or some such conservative group on campus.noblepa wrote: ↑Fri Mar 15, 2024 6:59 pmActually, I think that they are overpriced.raison de arizona wrote: ↑Fri Mar 15, 2024 6:54 pm Kent State University?

They want reactions, protests, and possibly even a threat to ban them. They may even then just cancel his appearance because reasons. There worst case is there are no reactions against it and Kyle gets to speak to bore 8 people.
I agree with the idea they want reactions (was Kent State of all places chosen by accident?) and the best response would be to ignore the event. But they certainly don't have to do anything to "gin up" protests beyond inviting him. The protestors will always take the bait:northland10 wrote: ↑Sun Mar 17, 2024 7:55 amNew Turtle wrote: ↑Sun Mar 17, 2024 12:36 am It might be one of those deals where they schedule a "speaker" and then gin up a protest against the event like they tend to do.

Students weigh in on debate over Kyle Rittenhouse appearance at Kent StateKent State wrote:A registered student organization is bringing this speaker to campus. Kent State University upholds the First Amendment rights of free speech and peaceful assembly for all. As a state university, we permit groups and individuals to speak and share their views on our campus about topics they feel are important.
Kent State has a long history of allowing peaceful dialogue from all points of view, including those whom some may feel are offering different and/or sometimes controversial opinions. As with any speaker invited to our campus, the university does not endorse or condone an opinion or point of view represented by the speaker, nor does the university advocate for any topic the speaker might discuss during their visit to campus. We continue to support and encourage freedom of expression and the free exchange of ideas. Consistent with our core values, we encourage open dialogue and respectful civil discourse in an inclusive environment.
The school actually not stopping it is a loss for the organizers. They want it stopped because they can play the victim card for contributions. Protesters do not bring in cash in the same amounts that they could be get by claiming they were denied their first amendment rights. If Kent State is letting it go on, I would not be surprised of the organizers came up with some excuse to cancel it (security, scheduling issues, etc).andersweinstein wrote: ↑Mon Mar 18, 2024 8:10 pm I agree with the idea they want reactions (was Kent State of all places chosen by accident?) and the best response would be to ignore the event.

Here's a statement from the Kent State administration, which expresses the correct position on free speech grounds.
