Well of course, when i am threatened myself, or people close to me are. But if some people in far away New York riot and set fire to cars and loot, will you jump in your car with a gun, to patrol the streets there and "help" the police?
It is not about cowering down or criticising cowboys, but as i read in several reports Rittenhouse walked away from the shooting "..proud, like a hero out of a western", and i think this is not appropriate to the situation but rather childish. Well he still is a child, yes, and where were his parents.
B.t.w. I did my own playing and behaving like a "cowboy" when i was a child, no real shooting involved. Mostly ahem, at least not against people.

As for the rioters and mobs, I have no objection to seeing them gunned down.

No sympathy for them, but gun them down?
