    I love this statement

    "Honestly, it's alright that people are buying more guns. I just care that they are being safe individuals. And they can practice their Second Amendment rights all they want. I don't give a f*ck about that. I just want to make sure that a crazy-ass individual doesn't get an AR-15 or any weapon at all," Hogg said about guns.

    So liberals really can't see the hypocrisy of protesting the private ownership of firearms while being guarded by people with privately owned firearms? No wonder America rejected liberalism on 2016...

    It’s odd that he’s a non-violent leader of a generation whose favorite digital game is Fortnite, a game whose object is to kill as many as you can before they kill you. Obviously, it’s easier to do so if you disarm them first.

    Absolutely...Which is why I suspect we haven't seen much of him in the news...The tactic of using these kids for political purpose quickly was worn out....

    All gun control movements are now entirely irrelevant. For 30 to 4o years.

    Let him have his fun.

    So, being a constitutionalist, don't you believe that he has the right to his free speech? I would think that, as a student who lived through the school shooting, he has earned that right. Why would you call him a twerp?

    David Hogg absolutely has a right to free speech....That's not the problem....The problem is that groups such as you would no doubt support, are pumping money into an evil scheme to use this kid as what I like to term an "infallible arguer".... They put him out there with promise of fame, and fortune to spew his nasty little one liners, while attacking anyone who puts up a counter argument as insensitive, or uncaring to his particular circumstance as a student at the school involved in the shooting....

    If those on the right used a kid to further a message, you would attack it as using children for political purposes, and rightly so....But, you think it is perfectly fine when children are used for something YOU agree with....Wrong is wrong....

    I think he would be respected as exactly the right person to share his message, which happens to be about control - not abolition. As for me - I don't 'belong' to any group. So if the right endorsed a child or anyone else who espoused things in which I believe strongly, I would support them. I believe in free speech - and if that speech is borne of personal experience and makes sense to me, I will listen.

    Looking into Hogg's actions that day he was in no way involved on the premises of the school...He only went there after the shooting to get in front of camera's...He is after all an aspiring Journalism major....

    Because he is a little twerp. And yes, he has the First Amendment right to make a fool of himself. He does so on a regular basis.

    It is my right to mock him for it.

    Hogg again? What's this clown trying to accomplish? Be the next big hyperliberal, radical Democrat "star"...? Who can he compare himself to, now that "Spartacus" has already been claimed by Corey Booker...? d
