Constitutional lawyer and New York Times best-selling author Mark Smith combats David Hogg’s rhetoric in his latest book, “#Duped,” which serves as a response to the newly-minted gun-control activist and Parkland graduate’s recently released book, “#NeverAgain.”
Smith exposes the left’s celebration and exploitation of students in order to advance so-called common sense gun control. “#Duped: How The Anti-Gun Lobby Exploits The Parkland School Shooting — And How Gun Owners Can Fight Back” deconstructs the progressive narrative and illustrates how advocates use children to promulgate an agenda that is so unpalatable they have failed to otherwise enact.
Smith writes:
From a political standpoint, children are ideal carriers of messages because they are unassailable, particularly if they have a direct connection to a tragedy. For the gun control movement, children represent a win-win-win. They are sympathetic, they are beyond reproach, and they cannot be challenged by anyone. These factors make children ripe for exploitation and explain why we see so many of them in the media today promoting gun control.”
“#Duped” exposes not just why the anti-gun movement uses children, but also how. Using correspondence within the Obama administration, Smith highlights the parallels between the left’s response to both the Sandy Hook massacre and the Parkland shooting.

When the bald chick takes over, she’ll airbrush him out of the picture.

Myth 1: “Nobody needs a gun.”
Myth 2: “You don’t need a gun. Highly trained government professionals are here to protect you.”
Myth 3: “Guns are the problem”. But somehow other instruments of violence are not.
Myth 4: “We need to ban assault weapons.”
Myth 5: “Gun-free zones are nirvana.”
Myth 6: “It’s too easy to buy a gun.”
Myth 7: “The Second Amendment doesn’t apply to modern America.”
It sounds like the book may be worth buying. If those who already know the facts may find this presentation useful for dealing with our ignorant friends, neighbors, and relatives.
My daughter works at a bookstore. She said the Never Again “book” is so thin and bereft of content that it might as well e a pamphlet.
Bald chick = Emma Gonzalez.
Assuming she doesn’t pull an “Operation Hummingbird” on him.
“Hogg” is, of course, a German name.
You left out Myth #8:
“Nobody wants to take away your guns!”
Re: Myths #2, and #3...
If guns are so evil why would we want only government
to have them?
Ah, but in the hands of enlightened, progressive, socialist governments, guns are good./s
I like the Founders’ original intent that a standing military (which they opposed) should be no better armed than the citizenry. In those days the only limitation on what weapons a private citizen could own, was cost.

I’m just quoting the book chapters, after the first two. But, yes, “Nobody wants to take away your guns!” is a myth that almost no one believes. There would be no point in the restrictions they claim to want if they were not an incremental step toward confiscation. From time to time, they openly admit their goal, although usually the Ctrl-Left lies and tries to hide the obvious truth. Here are just a few of their open admissions:

How did the Anti-2nd student marchers get to Washington, D.C.???
Who’s paying the tab:
” The 23 students who traveled from Florida were not UU (Unitarian Universalists) . However, they were there thanks to the generosity of the UU Fellowship of Boca Raton, FL. The congregation raised $9,000 to rent the bus that would take two dozen students from inner-city neighborhoods in their area to the march.”

Bob Kraft flew the Parkland kids to DC in the NE Patriots plane.
