STUDENTS SAY REGULATE THE SECOND AMENDMENT

   A small group of mostly high school students gathered in front of the White House on Friday as part of the National School Walkout, an anti-gun protest launched by a Connecticut teen following the shooting deaths of 17 people at a Florida high school in February.
Following a moment of silence plus 13 seconds to honor the 13 people shot and killed at Columbine High School on April 20, 1999, the group walked to the Capitol where speakers lashed out at Republicans and the National Rifle Association (NRA).
   "And so too must we regulate the Second Amendment,” Berlin,  a student at a D.C. high school who told Breitbart News he organized the local protest,  said. “Just as the freedoms of the First Amendment are subject to rules and regulation so too must be those protected under the Second.”
  “No amendment is absolute,” Berlin said. “Your right to a gun does not supersede my right to graduate high school.”
