Douglas High School student Kyle Kashuv is quickly distinguishing himself from his gun control activist classmates, not just with his continued support for the Second Amendment, but also with his positive attitude and willingness to engage with all sides of the gun debate.
Earlier today, Kashuv tweeted about his recent meeting with GOP Rep. Steve Scalise, who survived an assassination attempt by a gun-wielding Bernie Sanders supporter:
Great speaking with @SteveScalise about what we learnt from each other's tragic situations pic.twitter.com/6EXR7azDke

The fact that WHIP @SteveScalise has gone through everything he has and is STILL a major #2A supporters should show to everyone, even gun control advocates, that the constitution is not a document we should desecrate.

Kashuv’s meeting with Scalise was apparently more than his F-bomb-loving, pro-gun-control classmate Cameron Kasky could stomach:
I’m enjoying Kyle’s slow spiral into tweeting exactly like a violently conservative talk show host. You should do one of those @scrowder selfies

Real classy, Cameron.

"Wretchedly conservative"

Well, anyway, if Kasky was hoping to get a rise out of Kashuv, he was only setting himself up to be disappointed. Because Kashuv didn’t take the bait:

What a tweet!

Kasky got off easy there.

Kasky could learn a lot from Kashuv. Not just about the Second Amendment, but about maturity.
Envy isn't a good look, Cameron. https://t.co/vKlDRc1R8W

Hey kid, Kyle is not you enemy here. You have a difference of opinion. That's all.

I think @SteveScalise knows the proper use of the word "violently" a little better than you – an opinion is not violence. Show some respect. Show some intelligence.
