David Hogg, a survivor of the Parkland, Fla., massacre who has become a highly visible gun control activist, claims he has been the target of an assassination attempt seven times the past year.

Hogg, 19, told The Washington Post in an article published on Tuesday that the attempts to end his life came from people who are "misguided and misinformed of what we’re actually here to talk about."

He said that if someone were to kill him because of his efforts to curb gun violence, it would most likely be "the stupidest thing they could do to try to end the movement. Because that would make it even more successful in the end. Because it would invigorate us and create f---ing change."

Hogg survived the mass shooting that unfolded at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in February 2018, leaving 17 people dead. In the aftermath, he founded "Never Again MSD," a student-led gun control advocacy group, along with other prominent student leaders.

The 19-year-old, who plans to attend Harvard this fall, recognized that Parkland students quickly started a larger conversation about school shootings and said it's "because we’re not vulnerable."

Yes he did something special. He played hookey from school that day. I wonder if he knew Cruz was planning it?

Hogg was also incarcerated in a concentration camp and had medical experiments performed on him.

He’s not a Parkland HS survivor! He was at home, skipping school.

Hard to believe that seven assassination attempts all missed.

[octex]

Yep. He skipped school and saw the news on TV.

[Vermont Lt]

Who is after him? And they missed seven times?

[READINABLUESTATE]

“7 assassination attempts” Did a few people threaten him on Twitter?

[broken_arrow1]

They’re everywhere, they’re everywhere....

[Crucial]

Nobody tries to assassinate people they’ve already forgotten.

I call "bull."

Wait-they've released a photo of the suspected perp!
