A Florida school-shooting survivor who supports the Second Amendment was subjected by a flight attendant Thursday to a speech in favor of this weekend’s gun-control march.
Kyle Kashuv, who attended Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School and has appeared on Fox News to support gun rights since, said the incident happened on a Spirit Airlines flight to Thurgood Marshall Baltimore-Washington International Airport.
“Just landed in Baltimore on @SpiritAirlines and the stewardess felt compelled to give us all a speech about the March for Our Lives, which openly says on the petition [they] are trying to categorically ban AR-15’s,” Mr. Kashuv wrote.

The flight attendant “made everyone clap,” he added, before lamenting “Can anything just be non-political anymore?”
