EPIC FAIL: Parkland Student Makes Most False Statement Ever About Second Amendment
On Tuesday, a student from Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School made one of the most factually false statements about the Second Amendment in the history of Twitter, which ignited the social media platform into a firestorm.
In a tweet, far-left activist Cameron Kasky claimed: “The first amendment has restrictions. The second amendment has no restrictions. These weapons are not in the hands of “well-regulated” militias. The changes the people are demanding do not desecrate the second amendment, they just make it a safe addition to our constitution.”
The first amendment has restrictions.
The second amendment has no restrictions. These weapons are not in the hands of “well-regulated” militias.
The changes the people are demanding do not desecrate the second amendment, they just make it a safe addition to our constitution.

Here are just some of the regulations that limit the scope of the Second Amendment
National Firearms Act (NFA) – “The importation of certain firearms, including but not limited to, machineguns, silencers, certain weapons made from rifles or shotguns, and destructive devices is also restricted under the National Firearms Act (NFA). 26 U.S.C. § 5844.”
Arms Export Control Act of 1976 (AECA) – “The importation of certain defense articles to include certain firearms, firearms parts, ammunition and certain other military equipment is subject to the provisions of the Arms Export Control Act of 1976 (AECA). 22 U.S.C. § 2778.”
Categorically false. There are dozens of restrictions on #2A
– National Firearms Act of 1934
– Hundreds of federal laws (many that aren't enforced.)
– MANY SCOTUS rulings that limit and explain what the amendment means.
But go on, continue to make "facts" up. https://t.co/leqd5zmj18

.@cameron_kasky, this tweet is factually inaccurate.
Please do some research on gun laws in places like NYC, and then research the National Firearms Act of 1934, Title II of the Gun Control Act of 1968, and the Firearm Owners Protection Act of 1986.https://t.co/es6chwTkcN https://t.co/GYlmtMThW7
