It’s official. We’re living in 1984 in the 21st Century. Just as Ronald Reagan predicted, fascism is here and it calls itself “liberalism.” You may have seen Parkland survivor and Second Amendment advocate Kyle Kashuv tweet about his first experience with shooting a rifle at a Florida gun range. He was excited and wanted to share it with his Twitter followers. Here’s what he posted:

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

Learning proper gun safety. And in the responsible way that so many on the Left say they want: via a trained professional teaching Kyle the proper procedures for gun safety. That’s commendable, right? WRONG. Right on cue, hoards of gun-hating, mouth-foaming liberals totalitarian Leftists were verklempt that—gasp!—Kyle would dare pick up a rifle and learn to use it properly as a self-defense tool.

Well, it gets worse.

On Monday afternoon, following his third period class at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, this is what Kyle says happened:

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.

So much for the zero-tolerance-for-bullying school policy. We. Will. Have. ORDER! (Said in my best Dolores Umbridge voice.)

School security: Yeah, we'll sit and wait outside while kids get shot inside.
Also school security: So, kid who just talked with GOP and Dem senators and went to WH to fight school shootings, we saw you went to a gun range. Start talking.https://t.co/g2FaAuglMn

I can now check off being wrongfully questioned by law enforcement off by bucket list.

Without his parents present, and by security officers who treated him like a criminal for doing nothing but exercising his Second Amendment right to bear arms. Can you say Brown Shirts?

This can't go unanswered.
Someone needs to take legal action. This is overboard and reminiscent of communist mode of operations.

The people interrogating him KNEW they were in the wrong when they denied him the right to record the session. His father should file a lawsuit, not for money, but rather for harassment and to forbid further such interrogations without him there, or the session being recorded.

This reaction from a Daily Wire reader sums it up perfectly:

Ken Reid: “Don’t get snappy with me, do you not remember what happened here a few months ago?” Yes I do, a cowardly school resource officer did nothing while a bunch of kids were murdered.

Exactly.

The Broward County Sheriff, as well as the school district itself, is already under intense scrutiny for their complete failure to stop the shooter, both long before he ever entered the building, then as they waited outside like cowards while he shot those inside, unimpeded. And now there’s this:

I’m not sure I have confidence in the entire department if yesterday’s grilling of a law-abiding citizen is any indication of their lack of professionalism and respect for those they safeguard.

Meanwhile, this self-described national security attorney offered a lengthy thread of tripe in defense of the inquisition, er, questioning of Kashuv. Make sure you read through the entire discussion for the full affect of his asshattery. THIS is why lawyers get such a bad wrap:

… No offense, Kyle, but you were just complaining the other day that law enforcement sits on its hands too much. https://t.co/gdtOgKoFLm

Nope. Sorry. What Kyle says the officers did to him on Monday, without a parent present and a refusal to allow the conversation to be recorded, is wholly unacceptable in our free society. He’s not a threat to the school. He has no troubled history. He’s a well-known member of the community. Just about everyone who’s paid even the slightest amount of attention has heard of Kyle and the efforts he’s making to help stop school shootings, including visiting representatives from both parties on Capitol Hill as well as the President and First Lady. What he does on the weekends, on his time and within the law and protected by our constitution, is his own business. Last I checked, we still have a Second Amendment, and a Fourth Amendment. But Big Brothers, both within the Broward County Sheriff’s Office—lead by a leftist political hack who cares more about his image than he does about the safety of his community—and the school district itself, seem to think intimidation is an acceptable tactic to use against a student who disagrees with their gun control agenda, one with different ideas about how to stop mass shootings, including learning how not to be a victim.

The attempt to silence conservative voices won't work. People like @benshapiro, @guypbenson, and others will prevail. The truth ALWAYS prevails.

Precisely. And what happened to Kyle at a place where he’s supposed to be safe and welcome just proved why the Second Amendment exists.

See? This is the issue. Federal law isn't enforced. 42 U.S. Code § 1983 – Civil action for deprivation of rights – we need the laws already on the books enforced. PRONTO. https://t.co/HNU3LsoHtW

Indeed. And something tells me the Broward County Sheriff’s Office, and the school district that demands its liberal line be toed, is about to get a major earful. And my personal preference: slapped up the sides of their heads with a civil suit.
