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.
Proposed gun controls at the federal level include proposals similar to Gov. Scott’s, plus an “assault weapons” ban and “universal background checks.” Rep. Ted Deutch (D-FL) is a leading voice for these gun controls, even though neither one would have prevented the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting. (The “assault weapons” ban would not have prevented the shooting because such a ban, if fashioned like the 1994-2004 ban, does not actually ban certain guns. Rather, it bans cosmetic features. And universal background checks would be impotent because the gunman, Nikolas Cruz, passed a background check for the rifle he used on February 14.)
The one change that could make an immediate difference in school safety would be to arm teachers as Utah did over 15 years ago, and as is currently being done in school districts in Colorado, Ohio, South Dakota, Texas, and other states. But David Hogg, Gov. Scott, and Rep. Deutch all oppose arming teachers for school safety.
Gov. Scott said we should rely on law enforcement, Deutch said talk of arming teachers is a “distraction,” and Hogg said money that would be used to arm teachers should instead be put into S.T.E.M. studies so teachers “can do more cool stuff and we’ll be able to create jobs in renewable, clean and independent American energy like wind and solar.”

This clown doesn’t know what the hell he wants. You want to quit school? Yeah, that’s real smart sport. Now what? Pray for an intern slot over at the commie news network? Or have they already made you an under the desk anchor?
I bet your parents are salivating at the potential new income stream
“Under the desk anchor.” Oh my, such pointed accuracy.
🙂
But guess who wants to help the children:

Don’t need no hog in school ahyhoo.
Don’t want school, eh? Then go to SHULE then! Dumb@ss Talmudist…
So OUR unalienable Rights are now HIS own personal “make a wish foundation”? Good luck, joo-boy, and while this little acting gig has been lucrative for you so far, you’re gonna regret it someday.
Did you even “go” there in the first place?
hogg-wash!
“Gov. Scott said we should rely on law enforcement…”
Um, yeah, we’ve been over that one, as far as what you’re responsible for, so no thanks. We got this, a$$hat.
Look, a flipping negotiating genius and all without a diploma, experience and some damn fine hair. He don’t need to go back to school at all. Mom will get him a job at CNN and they can laugh and eat cookies while they tear up the Constitution together on “Bring a SJW to School day.”
Shhhh… Don’t say “Constitution.” Things have just calmed down for the day. Say “Bill of Rights,” instead.
Giants always sleep with one eye open.

Why should he worry. David GRADUATED from Redondo Shores, CA High School, in 2015.
“…always wanted to be an actor and work for CNN”
Where his mom just happens to be a VP at CNN
Wish I could post the photo of the page he’s in from the yearbook 🙁
Koorz, the Redondo yr. book photo appeared to be fake. FTT had a post up but admin took it down because of the controversy. By the way, the Redondo post was posted by Laguna Beach Antifa.
“I’m not going back to school on Wednesday until one bill is passed.”
Passive-aggressive little shite. Stop bossin’ me around. You have no power here.

Fine, then don’t go to school anymore, you little wuss. Why should anyone care? The only person you’ll be hurting is yourself.
David Hog…
Constipated with a gun after ingesting it.
Could not pass it successfully.
Using a bill to wipe up the mess.
Disgruntled and dismayed at passing the gun bill.
David Hog was able to dislodge the gun bill in his azz.
In which the firearm discharged.
Resulting in two azzholes….
Unemployed.
Maybe he will join all those entertainers who said they were going to move to Canada when Not-my-President Trump was elected. He trying to keep his 15 minutes of fame going.
….the broad masses of a nation are always more easily corrupted in the deeper strata of their emotional nature than consciously or voluntarily; and thus in the primitive simplicity of their minds they more readily fall victims to the big lie than the small lie, since they themselves often tell small lies in little matters but would be ashamed to resort to large-scale falsehoods.
It would never come into their heads to fabricate colossal untruths, and they would not believe that others could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously.
Even though the facts which prove this to be so may be brought clearly to their minds, they will still doubt and waver and will continue to think that there may be some other explanation.
For the grossly impudent lie always leaves traces behind it, even after it has been nailed down, a fact which is known to all expert liars in this world and to all who conspire together in the art of lying.
Yer not going back to that school punk , ’cause yer 21 and dont belong there
if he shows up they should arrest him
Who cares you little sh!#?!!!!
Like Zuckerberg, this immature child has a face that begs for a fist to smash into it. I couldn’t stand this arrogant, smarmy little fool from the first time I saw his ugly face.
I THINK IF MY LAST NAME WAS “HOG” I WOULD DO MY BEST TO STAY OUTTA THE DAMN NEWSPAPERS…………
