While I support the 2nd amendment, I find the willful lies told by gun advocates to be malicious and reprehensible. 

 The lies went like this:

 "David Hogg, an outspoken student of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, was really a "crisis actor"* coached on what to say. Hogg wasn’t even from Florida*, he was from California. Students, who began to advocate for restrictions on guns, had secretly organized* before the shooting or were backed by radicals with a history of violence*. Another student, Emma González, was a  communist with ties to Cuba*. She even ripped up* the U.S. Constitution.

"The students and the country were about to learn a hard lesson about participating in democracy in 2018. That you don’t have to be a politician to be on the receiving end of the internet’s worst hoaxes. The attacks against Parkland’s students stand out because of their sheer vitriol. Together, the lies against the Parkland students in the wake of unspeakable tragedy were the most significant falsehoods of 2018. We name them PolitiFact’s Lie of the Year."
