He evidently has struck some fear into gun nuts, because this "kid" has been attacked, called every ugly name in the book, and he still stays strong. He is very much like the anti Vietnam war protesters we saw in the late 60's, who forced the government to rethink what the Hell we were doing in that God forsaken country.


Hogg is the NRA's worst nightmare.

But you hardly see conservatives blocking highways, setting stuff on fire, breaking windows, smashing cars or assaulting people with different political beliefs

This fake news has been debunked. He was in class and numerous people can attest to that. Even redstate.com retracted their info saying he was in fact on campus.

I guess young Mr.Hogg survived a school shooting but not character assassination by the gun lobby. Despicable.

Thanks for bringing up one of his false claims. While class III firearms are available to the common citizen it requires quite a bit to attain one. Background checks, creating a trust, applying for and getting approval for a tax stamp and spending about $20k.
And i think, since the NFA law was enacted, only two shootings occured with an NFA firearm.
An AR15 chambered in 5.56 is no different then the average hunting rifle. I have one because the round is weak enough to shoot at my local indoor ranges, something i can't do with my 40 plus year old SKS.

Back that statement up.


David Hogg not at school during shooting? Bloggers spread misinformation | PolitiFact Florida

You're doing nothing more than spreading FAKE NEWS, and right wing nutter talking points.

Twenty five years from now, David Hogg may be the Governor of Florida, when many of his current critics are taking an extended "dirt nap"!

How can you do that with a clear conscious?

Are you so progressive that infringing on the rights of others is acceptable?
