I think he might be referring to his treatment in court.

If they have 1st Amendment rights, do they also have 2nd Amendment rights?

Neither the 1st nor the 2nd Amendment confer absolute rights. Hence, convicted felons (typically) can't own firearms, and "incitement to violence" isn't considered "speech".

The first amendment confers no rights; it restricts congress. The second amendment confers absolute rights; the restrictions on, say, youths and felons are blatantly unconstitutional.

Both the Supreme Court and the NRA disagree with you. I think you need to recheck your research.

Youths have basically no rights as far as the constitution is concerned.
