NRA supporters are being accused of photoshopping a photograph and video of Emma Gonzalez, Parkland shooting survivor and vocal #NeverAgain advocate, ripping up a copy of the constitution.
A number of gifs and memes have circulated of Gonzales with racist slogans, and have been shared by verified figures, including actor and conservative commentator Adam Baldwin.
The photoshopped image was taken from an image which actually shows the 18-year-old tearing up a paper target on the cover of magazine Teen Vogue, while her fellow classmates stand in solidarity behind her.
Teen Vogue tweeted the magazine cover with the caption "We, the youth of the United States, have built a new movement to denounce gun violence and call for safety in all of our communities. This is only the beginning."
The cover prompted responses from supporters of President Donald Trump and NRA supporters, condemning the message.
One woman responded, labelling Gonzalez and her classmates "little oppressors."
Gonzales has been a vocal opponent of gun violence since witnessing the death of 14 students and three staff members.
Gonzales took the stage in front of half a million people at the March For Our Lives rally held in Washington DC and remained silent for six minutes and 20 seconds - the pause reflecting the same amount of time it took shooter Nikolas Cruz to kill and injure victims.
