n the wake of Sunday’s mass shooting that killed at least three people at the Gilroy Garlic Festival in California, anti-gun activist David Hogg has ignited a war of words on Twitter over the need for more gun control, and many Americans are ferociously firing back. “I’m tired,” Hogg tweeted early Monday morning. “I’m tired of tweeting out # [insert city name here] strong every week. I’m tired of moments of silence, thoughts and prayers as people continue to die every day. I’m tired of having a government so divided they can’t come together to save lives or our future.”...

<p>Parkland shooting survivor David Hogg said he has been the target of seven "assassination attempts" in the last year. The vocal supporter of gun-control legislation detailed his experiences throughout the last 18 months as he went from regular high school student to one of the faces of the school safety movement in an interview with the Washington Post published Tuesday. He was not asked for further details about the threats. Regarding the death threats and assassination attempts, Hogg said that killing him would be "the stupidest thing they could do to try to end the movement." "Because that would make it even more successful in the end," Hogg told the Post. "Because it would invigorate us and create f---ing change." The 19-year-old activist is slated to attend Harvard in the fall after graduating from Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School last May and taking a year off. As a senior, Hogg experienced the mass shooting at his high school that claimed the lives of 14 students and three staff members on February 14, 2018. "Honestly, I realize that it's horrible that I have to live through this, and it is traumatizing," Hogg said, referring to the death threats. "But you eventually become desensitized to it." Following the deadly shooting at his school, Hogg and several classmates formed a gun control advocacy and toured the country by bus raising awareness about school safety and gun violence. He also used his platform to register voters and mobilize them for the 2018 Midterm Election. He said he plans to continue his public activism as the 2020 election approaches. "I want to go to school and, for lack of a better word, weaponize my knowledge and learn as much as possible to end violence," he said.</p>

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...

A Platte County Elementary school principal is on leave because of tweets on his personal account responding to a call for federal funding of gun violence research, Platte County School District spokesperson Laura Hulett said Thursday. Chad Searcey, principal of Compass Elementary school, was placed on paid administrative leave immediately after the district learned of the tweets on Wednesday. The social media posts were made on Tuesday, according to a news release. “We understand why the public response has been strong with regard to student safety in our nation’s schools,” the release said. “We intend to address the situation immediately...

It’s been a while since we’ve heard from David Hogg. I sort of figured his 15 minutes were over. Well, he’s decided to extend his moment in the spotlight… by MINDLESSLY SMEARING American troops. Yeah. I almost forgot how insufferable he was, too. See – this dolt thinks these dots represent “US military imperialism” in Africa. snip BINGO. He literally just needed to read the article he tweeted out. That was clearly WAY too difficult for this Harvard student. Here’s what the article has to say: The code-named operations cover a variety of different military missions, ranging from psychological operations...

"The truth of the matter is weapons like the AR-15 have an effective range of over 1,500 meters," Hogg said. "If you're using a weapon with an effective range of over 1,500 meters, you are not defending yourself. You are hunting a human being."

Gun control advocate David Hogg is urging fellow gun control proponents to fight efforts to arm Florida teachers for self-defense. His attempt to rally gun control supporters comes as Republican legislators in Florida seek to expand the state’s Guardian program to allow teachers to carry in the classroom for self-defense after volunteering for the program and going through the proper training. The Guardian program currently applies to school staff members but bans guns in the classrooms, which is the very place teachers and their students huddle and hide in the midst of an attack. Republicans want to augment the program...

If there's one thing I've learned from this whole Covington Catholic boys incident, it's that instead of getting angry at the Left for their anti-White/anti-White male rhetoric, we should be mocking the Left, because their hostility to Whites and White males is as phony and disingenuous as everything else they say and do. We've seen Left wing comedians making homophobic jokes about Trump and Putin. We've seen Gay rights activists turning a blind eye to Muslim homophobia. We've seen Feminists trashing self made women like Sarah Palin and Kellyanne Conway. We've seen female victims of sexual harassment at the hands...

Sarah Huckabee Sanders recently said she's never “seen people so happy to destroy a kid's life,” but Parkland student David Hogg begs to differ. The White House press secretary doubled down on her defense of the Covington Catholic students accused of mocking Native American activists on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial during an interview with Fox News’ Sean Hannity Tuesday night. “I think what happened with Buzzfeed is a great lesson for the media. Quit trying to be first and start trying to be right. We have seen time and time again where they run out here with outrageous,...

For years now, anyone from the political right has had to worry about protestors when they go to speak at a college or university almost anywhere in the country. Most of the time, it’s not a big deal, but there have been riots and other sorts of nastiness, all because some didn’t like the ideology of the speaker. Now, it looks like the pro-gun crowd is willing to play a similar, though thankfully more subdued, game.

Incoming Harvard student David Hogg apparently believes the United States is not a legitimate nation with rights to its territory. The gun-control advocate responded to President Trump’s speech on illegal immigration and the crisis at the border by implying that the United States is “stolen land.”

David Hogg, supposed victim of the Parkland shooting and anti-gun activist, got the letter 42,749 applicants hope to receive from Harvard: an acceptance letter. In 2018, Harvard accepted only 4.59 percent of applicants, roughly 1,900 persons. Once Hogg’s tweet that announced the good news went viral, eyebrows across the United States were raised in befuddlement. Hogg’s highest SAT score is 1270, and the average SAT score for admissions into Harvard is roughly 1480. Americans who ascribe to the ideology of meritocracy rightfully struggle with the idea that Hogg is able to meet Harvard requirements with a score approximately 200 points...

Many questioned anti-Second Amendment activist David Hogg’s acceptance to Harvard, which he announced via Twitter on Saturday, considering that he openly complained about his high school grades and the fact that he achieved only a 1270 on his SAT test. “David Hogg is heading to Harvard despite an SAT score of 1270. The bottom 25% at Harvard have an average SAT score of 1460,” College Fix noted. But still, the left wing media swooned after Hogg announced that he was headed to the Ivy League school in Cambridge, Mass. “Thank you all for the well wishes, I’ll be attending Harvard...

RUSH: It’s amazing Russian collusion stories disappeared from the media’s radar. The only thing I compare it with is how gun control completely disappeared too. Amazing? Gun control gone, Russian collusion gone, and yet Russian collusion was going to be how the Democrats would win the House back! Remember? What happened to it, hmm? Must not have been any, hmm? At least by Trump and the Republicans, hmm? BREAK TRANSCRIPT RUSH: Let’s review some things that were in the news 24/7. And the reason they were in the news 24/7, because this was how the Drive-By Media, working with the...
