A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

That's quite more informative than I expected. Yeah the impression I had seems to match well the "common misconception".
Well, it's one of those things that even people that argue the matter don't always pay attention to. The 2nd amendment advocates ignore a lot of the history too. There's a lot of identity politics involved in it, much like any hot button issue.
So the misconceptions spread way faster than the fact based opinions (of either "side", there are arguments for how and when the 2nd can be limited without violating the constitution). For someone outside the country, it's a lot of mess to wade through for little benefit.
