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 were 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 were not vulnerable."

Assassination???
Wow...
Do near-misses of nose punches count as “assassination attempts”?
This is another Jussie Smollett in the making.............
In your fevered dreams, David Jussie Hogg!
“Did he do anything special to survive? Ive never seen it mentioned.”
Not being there during the shooting ensured his survival.
“Does Harvard know about this security risk? Who wants to room with a seven time assassination attempt guy?”
Yup. If Hogg is being truthful, Harvard would open itself to lawsuits if anything happened and they were aware of the threat.
On another hand, Hogg would also need to avoid “friendly fire” if it would, as he says, help the anti-gun cause.
He needs attention again.
Probably Time Travelers who know what he’s going to turn into, and are trying to prevent it. That never works.
1st of all I believe he survived the school shooting because he was not there he rode there on his bicycle to make a film when he heard about the shooting.
Sorry Hoggy, taking a hit from your 6 from another poofter is not an assassination attempt.
Typical attention getting don’t forget his gay lover is the other kid who they stopped reporting on because it was revealed that he has a long history of threatening to attack and kill conservatives.
That’s just from his boyfriends.
Drama princess....
I call “bull.”...
Exactly...he’s certainly no survivor as the article starts with.
His 15 minutes of fame are up, and he knows it.
The world has moved on, pal - time to take your place back in obscurity.
It's like how I was at Dealy Plaza. Oh sure, it was twenty years after Kennedy was there, but you see my connection...
David “Pig” Hogg is one sick ticket.
Getting sniped at while playing “Call of Duty” is NOT an actual assassination attempt. Or maybe he was reading Billary’s book about being shot at overseas and had a nocturnal emission???
He probably had Jussie phone in a threat to him
