A Parkland high school student who agreed to a live debate over his conflicting views over gun reform with fellow Marjory Stoneman Douglas student Kyle Kashuv has pulled out of the deal.
Cameron Kasky, an organizer of the pro-gun control March for Our Lives movement, tweeted Monday night that he won't debate Kashuv, a pro-Second Amendment voice, following a tweet Kashuv seemingly disapproved of.
"Kyle, I've enjoyed my discussion about gun laws with you so far, but after seeing this, I think I'm out. For personal reasons," Kasky said, adding that while he "disagree[s] on certain policies with some family members of some victims," he would "never go after them, especially not like this. This is low."
Kashuv's tweet in question was a response to Jesse Guttenberg, a student at Stoneman Douglas whose sister, 14-year-old Jaime, was fatally shot by Nikolas Cruz last month.
"Clear backpacks are not the answer," Guttenberg stated. "Anyone can sneak a knife into school by putting it into a folder or a gun by hiding it in their pants."
"Don't violate our privacy and give us real security. That's what will help," Guttenberg said.
In response, Kashuv wrote: "Instead, let's violate our Constitution?"
Kashuv, after being called out by Kasky, apologized and noted he "had not realized whose account it was. It was a mistake and I am regretful of it."
Another tweet from Kashuv said: "It was awful of me and I am wrong. Period. I am so sorry."
"Continue using your voice for what you believe in, but I want nothing to do with you in this conversation," Kasky followed up. "I will happily discuss with other conservative students who don't go about it like that."

Cameron Kasky (right), who agreed to a live debate over his conflicting views over gun reform with fellow Marjory Stoneman Douglas student Kyle Kashuv, has pulled out of the deal citing “personal reasons.”
And there we have it...
He quit because he would lose badly and he knows it. The pro-2nd Amendment backlash is becoming fierce and vicious. Snowflakes can’t take it.
Kasky another Broward coward little snot nosed punk schmuck can’t debate because he might learn something.
They haven’t seen anything yet.
It’s personally humiliating to have your butt kicked on live TV.
I agree fully. They are going to wish that they have never engaged the way they have.
In response, Kashuv wrote: "Instead, let's violate our Constitution?"
And the Conservative backs down because the Lefties hide behind the dead body (he wrote it to someone whose sister died)
Kashuv, after being called out by Kasky, apologized and noted he "had not realized whose account it was. It was a mistake and I am regretful of it."
He should pull a Clint Eastwood and debate an empty chair.
Kasky vs. Kashuv ... sounds like a grandmaster chess match.
Nope. Read it again.
Ah, I see it now... the Lib backs out, hiding behind his pretense of the Conservative not being worthy of debate, since he addresses the tweet to someone whose sister died. Got it.
Thx
It didn’t help Paul Ryan, that’s for sure.
IOW, “I don’t care what you have to say, I’m right and you’re wrong”
Talking about the poise of those kids, it occurred to me they are more practiced at defending a position but not able to think. Public speaking, debate, theatre, etc., all teach polish but mostly on prepared topucs. Outside of that, not depth. Can’t blame them, they aren’t taught to really think and aren’t exposed to any different mindsets UNLESS parents engage then. The one who mentioned the constitution thinks differently. So he must be mean. Leftists resort to such. Heaven help b us if v these robots win. There is no debate anymore. Only propaganda and emotion.
That's exactly what I thought!
The very definition of “useful idiot”.
