In fact, maybe katygirl68 an I could start a boycott. Any product David Hogg is seen with, uses, endorses, etc...we should boycott those products and tell them until they disavow David Hogg, we won't use their products. David Hogg should appreciate our peaceful use of freedom.

There isn’t an idea on sensible gun regulation that you wouldn’t shoot down so no need I probably side with Hogg more than you do.
Why on Earth would anyone want to hear about your sensible new laws when they look like the proposed bans and most likely are similar to current laws that we just dont seem to care to enforce? Enforce the laws we already have, for real enforcement, and the let's talk about where they could stand to be improved.

Until then, stick your gun control in the trash or another equally stinky place.

And Hogg is just a tool of the anti-gun left. And I dont believe for a second that this fired up attitude of his is new. I think hes been an insufferable ass to lots of people for a long time. You dont see a lot of his classmates saying what a swell guy he is, do you? It's interesting how little we've actually learned about him, dont you think?

Added: Hogg doesn't get under my skin because hes in the spotlight. He pisses me off because he, like many here, are advocating restricting a Constitutional right using emotion-based arguments that are very light on facts. And there are many misleading statements made by the same.

These kids are the real heros of this country.
I’m not overlooking that fact. I am fine with him going after politicians if he objects to their policies, but Laura Ingraham just insulted him and he didn’t like it. She’s not the cause of he-who-must-not-be-named going into Hogg’s school and murdering 17 people. If Hogg put as much effort into going after the Broward County School administration and the police who had a lot more to do with not preventing this from happening, then I’d have a hell of a lot more respect for him.

Who cares what a teenager says?

Let alone one whose so bizarre and psychopathic that he is able to (and wants to) calmly interview a peer as she is scared that she will be murdered by a serial killer that is stalking them with a rifle. Strategic silence, empathy, the girl's privacy in the most stressful moment of her life, and a normal sense of priority be damned.

The kid gives me the creeps in a big way. He's obviously a huge opportunist, in a manner that is detached from the situation as a whole. Someone should check his yard for buried dead animals.

Here's a thought that must terrify you. Hogg is 18, and he is going to VOTE this November, along with millions of his contemporaries. And they aren't the "thoughts and prayers" types of voters.
He hasn’t been interested in advocating for better security, which is the only thing that could prevent this in the future. I’m okay with some of their ideas too. If handguns can’t be purchased by people under 21, then why should AR-15s? But they immediately blamed the NRA and its members and gave the Broward County Sheriff’s office and the school administrators a pass, which ensured that nothing would ever get done.

Why do these activists not understand that in order to be effective, they can’t alienate half the country? Those were the people they wanted to reach, but shaming them and blaming them for murders they had nothing to do with and showing that gun rights advocates were right for suspecting these people want a total gun ban eventually isn’t going to solve one thing about this issue other than making it even harder to get the supposed sensible gun laws passed.

In this newest instance, she didn’t insult Hogg. She compared immigration centers to summer camp. I would hope 99% of our country would disagree with her. But there are crickets coming from trumps supports and members of Congress because they are scared of him...poor babies. They care more about getting re elected than our country. So Hogg got involved just like so many others

They gave the local gov in Broward County a pass because it’s a blue county in a red State .

66 percent voted for Hillary Clinton in 2016 .

With the border rush, Hogg sensed his 15 minutes is about up so he goes back to the Laura Ingraham well. WTH, he might as well screen Laura's show the night before.
