Hogg and his ignorant 17 and 18 year old friends are clueless and are becoming America's top gun salesmen. I've made several calls to local gunstores and ARs are once again quadrupling in sales in some of the stores.

Example in CT. Back around 2014 the state wanted all "assault weapons" registered and all high cap. Mags. Declared

Of the estimated 370,000 rifles only 50,000 were brought for registration. That's 13% compliance. Of the estimated 1 million High cap. Mags. Only 40,000 were declared. That's 4% compliance. And this is in Libby CT.

Anti-gunners efforts are futile.
Gun registration DOESN'T solve crimes. It's very near zero, zip, nada. Just sayin....

It may prevent 'known' criminals from obtaining weapons, legally. But we all know criminals don't usually regard legalities.

As for Hogg, let's see if he's still in the limelight next week.... probably not.

Route 91 Harvest music festival? No, armed security didn't stop people from dying there either...

But hey, "only" 2 people died in Maryland. Yey? I guess that's considered progress these days.

And yeah, the story was all over the news.
Those places weren't secured buildings. Columbine cop was at lunch no?

It wasn't all over the news. MSM would be talking about it for weeks but they won't. Doesn't fit their narrative

Hogg is a self aggrandizing ignoramus. He is using this to promote himself.

How is name calling ever going to help gun ownership anyway? Do you think calling names will stop the kids?

Better think twice about that. Those kids have seen the blood and bodies of their friends in the hallways of their school. That sort of thing makes a lasting impression.
They're ignorant.

Ok.....guns aren't going away. It won't happen. So they need to put their efforts into something that will actually get done.

Our constitutional rights are not subject to the inaine BS of a bunch of immature HS and childish antics. If you aren't even old enough to benefit from these rights, you certainly aren't old enough to scream about others not deserving them.

What's next? Sean Hannity gonna steal Hogg's lunch money
Hannity is an a-hole and he is the type who would hit a teen just to prove his manhood. An ugly and weak loudmouth.

David Hogg and his friends are the real alpha males making change happen. The female students in the movement are just as courageous.
Seriously?

A Colt 6920 (M4) would be a great choice.

I mean you see it all around you. Republicans have become so anti intellectual that the party is nominating more and more unhinged lunatics. It's.almost impossible for a republican to win the nomination without engaging in conspiracy theory peddling
While I may agree with you about Trump's inability to string together coherent sentences, the rest of your post is off base. Most Republicans? Seriously? There are a few that are off their rocker but rest assured that is not limited to just the Republicans! Remember the Democrat (Hank Johnson, D Ga) that talked about Guam tipping over?
