As students across the country prepare to stage a national protest calling for gun control reform in the wake of school shootings, Parkland, Florida survivor David Hogg, 17, has declared this is the 'start of a revolution.'
Hogg talked to Good Morning America on Saturday morning about his goals for participating in the 'March For Our Lives' demonstration at its primary event in Washington, DC.
'Today we are going to start a revolution. This is the beginning of a lifelong marathon not only for me but for my generation,' Hogg told GMA.
'We are sick and tired of the inaction here in Washington and around the country at different state capitals and in different cities, of politicians that are owned by the NRA and not listening to the constituents of America.'
On Friday, Hogg used more forceful language, expressing his fatigue from advocacy, worries over relinquishing rights in favor of safety, and calling out what he referred to as 'old-a** parents' who 'don't know how to use a f***ing democracy.'
The student also criticized forthcoming security changes at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, which he felt were infringements on First Amendment rights.

We’re not a democracy, you little turd. And budding fascists like yourself is precisely why.
He is under the pretense that we will turn in our guns quietly.
He is wrong.
Also he apparently wasn’t taught our form of government is a Republic. Obnoxius and uneducated
You’re being too kind.
I’m my day an obnoxious little wimpy dbag like this would have been given an atomic wedgie and shoved in his locker.
This kid is a blankety blank in many ways.
He talks of democracy but doesn’t even know we are a constitutional republic, not a democracy.
He talks of not knowing how to use said democracy, etc. What he fails to understand, is that not everyone agrees on what needs to be done to solve any issue or problems which come up. Hence, the need for legislative action, according to policies and “parliamentary procedure”, such as it is, in Washington and the various state legislatures.
His frustration at his elders allegedly not knowing how to use democracy, is really frustration that he can’t ram down our throats, his vision of some liberal utopia, by using our system to get his way.
He fails to understand that in our system, nobody gets his/her own way on every issue which comes up.
He fails to understand that not everyone has the wisdom and life experience he has gained in his 17 year life.
Well I must be old. I don’t even know what that swear word is lol. It’s ok - I’ve been fine without knowing.
WHERE IS THE DEMAND FOR FEDERAL AND STATE INVESTIGATIONS ????
They’re missing the point It’s not guns or the NRA It’s policies which had cops standing outside while killing was going on or some nut getting a gun the FBI knew he wasn’t suppose to... Plus a whole raft of other stuff
THE MEDIA IS DOING THIS BECAUSE
THEY DON’T WANT YOU TO KNOW WHY THIS HAPPENED
STOP SPREADING THE CABLE SWILL MILLS POISON
DEMAND STATE AND FED INVESTIGATION ON THE POLICIES WHICH CAUSED THIS

I was two miles away from incoming at Camp Speicher. Does that make me a survivor???
Haha - typo. That’s supposed to be an “f”, not a “d”. This kid has a really, really big mouth. He needs to be brought down about 100 notches.
Yeah, are these tiresome, loathsome brats going to refer to themselves as survivors for the rest of their lives?
Perpetual victims will fail at life.
The Left media does a great job of pumping up this punk.
I waded through three segments on NPR this morning that either mentioned him or interviewed him. Funny, no profanity.
Consider the legitimacy of a legislature that is swayed by nonsense from a 17 year old.
I think I made a typo when posting - “D” should be an “F.”
Yeah! This little punk needs to be educated!
He Truely fails to understand that
This Country simply has written in to it’s
Constitution the Right to Arms that is
Bestowed upon All humans by Our Creator.
I wish Biden would take this kid out behind the gym.
