Kyle Kashuv has been praised by many 2nd Amendment supporters because he’s one of the few Parkland school shooting survivors who has NOT joined the gun grabbing fascist kiddie brigade.
And of course, that means he should be harassed by the police.
Ben Shapiro documented what happened over at the Daily Wire.
Kashuv went to a gun range on Friday with his dad and posted some tweets:
It was great learning about our inalienable right of #2A and how to properly use a gun. This was my first time ever touching a gun and it made me appreciate the #Constitution even more. My instructor was very informative; I learnt a lot. #2A is important and we need 2 preserve 2A pic.twitter.com/4rcOZbpl88

When he went to school on Monday, he was told that some students were scared by his gun tweets:
Kashuv was quickly called out for visiting a gun range and posting about it by a variety of other students at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. But that wasn’t the end of the story. When Kyle went to school today, his principal informed him that other students had been upset by his posts, but that he hadn’t done anything wrong.
Here’s the statement Kyle gave about what happened next:
Near the end of third period, my teacher got a call from the office saying I need to go down and see a Mr. Greenleaf. I didn’t know Mr. Greenleaf, but it turned out that he was an armed school resource officer. I went down and found him, and he escorted me to his office. Then a second security officer walked in and sat behind me. Both began questioning me intensely. First, they began berating my tweet, although neither of them had read it; then they began aggressively asking questions about who I went to the range with, whose gun we used, about my father, etc. They were incredibly condescending and rude.
Then a third officer from the Broward County Sheriff’s Office walked in, and began asking me the same questions again. At that point, I asked whether I could record the interview. They said no. I asked if I had done anything wrong. Again, they answered no. I asked why I was there. One said, “Don’t get snappy with me, do you not remember what happened here a few months ago?”
They continued to question me aggressively, though they could cite nothing I had done wrong. They kept calling me “the pro-Second Amendment kid.” I was shocked and honestly, scared. It definitely felt like they were attempting to intimidate me.
I was treated like a criminal for no reason other than having gone to the gun range and posted on social media about it.
This is really disgusting – Kyle hasn’t shown ANY proclivity to gun violence, and yet he’s being harassed, and it really appears that it’s because of his political beliefs, NOT because he’s a threat in any way. How is this not a police state mentality, especially after these idiots let the Parkland shooter elude their grasp over and over and over again?
