Parkland school shooting survivor David Hogg says he will not return to Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School until more gun control is passed. Hogg made the comments Sunday during a gun control rally held at Temple B’nai Abraham in Livingston, New Jersey.
The New York Daily News reports that Hogg said, “I’m not going back to school on Wednesday until one bill is passed.” He did not specify which law he wants most, only that he is not going back until at least one law garners the support of lawmakers.
He said, “Literally any legislation at this point would be a success. Considering the fact that so few legislators in Florida met with us and they want the people to forget, that’s disgusting. The fact that they want people to forget about this and elect them again as the child murderers they are, that’s unacceptable and we’re not going to let that happen.”
To date, state-level gun control proposals include “tougher background checks,” a bump stock ban, a waiting period for long gun purchases, raising minimum age for rifle purchases to 21-years old, and gun confiscation orders similar to California’s Gun Violence Restraining Orders. All of these gun controls were proposed last week by Florida Gov. Rick Scott (R) and not a single one of them would have prevented the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School.

There seems to be some confusion about how old this “kid” is. I’ve read 16, 17, 18 and 19. Wonder which?
He’ll be waiting til the arrival of Godot.
His 15 minutes of fame has passed. Bye, kid!
He’s a dropout.
Who cares!!!
Two words for you: “unexcused absences.” Maybe repeating a grade will make Young Mr. Hogg act more judiciously in the future.
Wouldn’t it be fun to see his little butt being hauled in by the truant officer?
Good point.
That’s tomorrow, you know. :)
‘Round these here parts we call it getting out while the gettin’s still good. >spit<
Don’t return then. The world will keep on turnin’.
Besides, I thought Hogg had already graduated two years ago.
I keep reading posts that make this claim.
Hold your breath too, David!
Thought he was 21 and finished school
I vow not to watch any news shows until Hoggs 15 minutes are over.
DROP OUT IDIOT, LIKE TO SMACK HIM IN THE FACE.
Bump
Seriously, this is a textbook temper tantrum.
Novel way to cut classes!
Gets to be lazy and wrap himself in self-righteousness!
The links from CWB in reply #2 above claim Hogg was in the class of 2015 at a HS in CA.
