Fear mongering is what Al Sharpton does best and has been doing for decades. On Sunday, Sharpton claimed the Second amendment doesn’t apply to the AR-15 or assault weapons because they didn’t exist when the Constitution was written. This is beyond laughable but the anti-gun crowd will eat it up.

Sharpton appeared to be referencing Colion Noir, an NRATV host who, during his show on Friday, discussed the National Rifle Association’s response to the “March for Our Lives” protest in Washington, D.C. and across the country on Saturday. Students organized the rally in the nation’s capital in the wake of last month’s mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, to demand tougher gun restrictions.

“To all the kids from Parkland getting ready to use your First Amendment to attack everyone else’s Second Amendment at your march on Saturday, I wish a hero like Blaine Gaskill had been at Marjory Douglas High School last month because your classmates would still be alive and no one would know your names, because the media would have completely and utterly ignored your story, the way they ignored his,” Noir said.

Sharpton dismissed Noir’s argument about the students using the their First Amendment rights to go after Second Amendment rights.

“No they’re not. The Second Amendment doesn’t give you the right to bear AR-15s or assault weapons. They didn’t even exist then,” Sharpton said. “They are standing up for sane and common-sense gun laws that many of us have [inaudible] for years.”
