Anti-2nd Amendment Parkland Students: NRA ‘Basically Threatening Us’

Left using these two students as faces of anti-gun movement

Jamie White | Infowars.com - March 19, 2018

Two student survivors of the Parkland shooting claimed the National Rifle Association has been threatening them since they started speaking out against guns.

“I think it just goes to prove exactly what they are. I don’t think NRA members are bad people at all. I think they’re responsible gun owners that want to become politically active and make their voices heard in this democracy,” David Hogg told CBS News.

"The way that [the NRA] has been reaching out to us is basically threatening us," David Hogg says on the NRA communicating with student activist.

"They've been instigating things. And then when we reply, they shy away," Emma Gonzalez adds. https://t.co/yQZMzUqXYk pic.twitter.com/iWkhYFv2UT

— CBS News (@CBSNews) March 19, 2018

“I think the problem comes in when its people at the top of this organization that don’t listen to their constituents, and continue to scare people into buying more guns, creating more violence so they can scare more people and sell more guns.”

It should be noted that the NRA is a non-profit organization, not a government agency, and therefore has no “constituents.”

Rather, the organization has over 5 million gun-owning members and is America’s longest-serving civil rights group that teaches firearm safety, and lobbies against bills seeking to restrict the Second Amendment.

When asked if the NRA has reached out to the two anti-gun activists, Hogg said they’ve been threatened by the organization.

“The way they’ve been reaching out to us is basically threatening us,” he said.

Hogg’s classmate Emma Gonzalez walked back his remark.

“They been instigating things,” she corrected. “And then we reply, they shy away. Like they can dish it out, but they can’t take it.”

Gonzalez and Hogg quickly rose to prominence among the anti-gun left after CNN propped them up over thousands of other student survivors simply because they have acting experience, an admiration for CNN, and are staunchly anti-Second Amendment.

CNN lobbied YouTube to shut down Infowars following several questionable revelations about the shooting including Hogg’s line-flubbing and eyewitness reports of multiple shooters.

This is why we don't allow children to vote. Seriously. I'm starting to think we should raise the voting age to thirty. And I'm an ANARCHIST.

A little background on nerd boy Hogg. Daddy is a retired fbi agent and mommy works for cnn. Nerd boy is an "aspiring journalist" who has had acting classes and has been anti-second amendment for some time before the shooting.

The freak girl is also reported to be a long time anti second amendment advocate.

This is actually kind of funny. Youtube censorship just bit the little twerp in the ass.

YouTube Bans David Hogg For Bullying After Drudge Report links to viral Hogg interview,

YouTube pulls it down for bullying & harassment

Kit Daniels | Infowars.com - March 24, 2018

Not long after the Drudge Report linked to a profanity-laced interview by NRA critic David Hogg, in which he insulted “old ass” people, YouTube pulled it down because it violated “bullying and harassment” standards.

[Linked Image]

It seems that YouTube didn’t appreciate Hogg intimidating who he referred to as “old ass parents” he claimed “don’t know how to use a f*cking democracy.”

That, or YouTube simply didn’t like Hogg bullying himself through the humiliating interview which painted him in a very bad light.

https://youtu.be/ZWCEhaV_ATc

These are the only logical explanations as to why YouTube thought the video constituted “bullying and harassment;” with the exception of the video uploader plugging his channel, the banned video consisted entirely of Hogg and the interviewers talking.

“We want you to use YouTube without fear of being subjected to malicious harassment,” states the site’s policy page. “Harassment may include… making hurtful and negative comments/videos about another person.”

Hogg did that multiple times in the interview.

“When your old-ass parent is like, ‘I don’t know how to send an iMessage,’ and you’re just like, ‘Give me the fucking phone and let me handle it.’ Sadly, that’s what we have to do with our government; our parents don’t know how to use a fucking democracy, so we have to,” Hogg said in one profane statement out of many.

Just saw Hogg's bullshit speech in Washington.

He ended it by giving the crowd the communist clenched fist salute.

It's funny hearing those kids complain about the new clear backpacks they have to use (at taxpayer expense, naturally), saying that it's an infringement on their rights. It is, of course, but it's still funny.

‘Hitler Youth’ Student Gun Control March Invades Washington Follows in footsteps of Nazis who disarmed Jews before the Holocaust Mike Adams | Natural News - March 24, 2018

The “Hitler Youth” invasion of Washington D.C. took place today as young fascists-in-training were corralled into the nation’s capitol to demand that government authoritarians strip away the civil liberties of all law-abiding Americans in the name of “gun control.”

Just like Hitler Youth enthusiasts, these fascists-in-training are told they’re “saving lives” for “a better future,” and that the only thing standing in their way is a bunch of violent gun owners who want to murder every baby in sight. (The irony of all these left-wingers actually condoning the abortion murder of babies, of course, is completely missed in all this.)

What none of these children are being told, of course, is that Hitler took away gun rights from the Jews before exterminating six million of them in the Holocaust. It’s so much easier to commit genocide, Hitler discovered, when the people you’re tying to murder can’t fight back.

Echoing the madness of the Third Reich, the propagandist-in-chief of today’s lunatic Left anti-gun movement is David Hogg, a profanity-laced, foulmouthed student who is seething with anger and seems forever on the verge of outright calling for all gun owners to be exterminated by the government.

Foul-mouthed David Hogg insists all gun owners want to murder children

In a recent interview, shown below, foul-mouthed Hogg, a student at the Parkland school shooting in Florida, says that gun owners and the NRA are “pathetic f##kers who want to keep killing our children” and adds, “They could have blood from children splattered all over their faces and they wouldn’t take action, because they all still see those dollar signs.”

David Hogg’s profanity-laced rant was so obnoxious, arrogant and deranged that YouTube systematically censored all the profanity-laced David Hogg videos in order to protect his public image. (Yes, YouTube is now running interference for David Hogg, making sure his public image is squeaky clean while he ravages gun owners with the most deranged, foul-mouth language imaginable.)

Hogg, who has arisen as the chief propagandist in the left-wing fascist “Hitler Youth” army, is completely opposed to adding security to public schools, even though a recent school shooting was stopped in 60 seconds by an armed security resource officer. It seems like Hogg might actually wants more children to be murdered so that he can get more air time on CNN to push his radical, fascist-like Third Reich call for disarming all the people he personally hates (and wants to destroy).

Watch his video below, which has been repeatedly banned by YouTube. Only D.Tube appears to carry this video at this link:

David Hogg’s armband looks just like the armbands from the Third Reich

Don’t forget that David Hogg was featured in a photo tweet by his sister, Lauren Hogg, promoting new Nazi-like armbands to demand gun confiscation from the American people. “David Hogg And His Sister Create Nazi-Like Armbands To Promote Gun Control,” reports Squawker.org:

[Linked Image]

Lauren Hogg, the younger sister of David Hogg and surprisingly not verified on Twitter, has created special armbands for gun control advocates to wear to school, the March For Our Lives demonstration, and anywhere else you think you can wear it and not get embarrassed. The band, of course, is to be worn on your arm, and the symbol in the middle resembles a peace sign. But does it really?

If the Hogg armband for gun control looks familiar, it should:

And here’s a photo of David Hogg sporting his “peace symbol” Nazi-like armband while demanding gun control:

[Linked Image]

Many people don’t remember this, but the Nazi symbol (swastika) also began as a peace symbol, but was of course twisted by Adolf Hitler into a symbol of tyranny and genocide. Many of today’s anti-gun Leftists are openly promoting a rainbow variation of the Swastika as a “symbol of peace:”

[Linked Image]

David Hogg physically resembles Adolf Hitler in fist-pounding salutes, angry speech patterns and more

In today’s rally, David Hogg became a full-fledged propaganda politician-in-training, reading from an obviously scripted speech, full of flowery words and high ideals that covered over his real goal: The complete disarmament of all law-abiding Americans.

Hogg is actually calling for a “revolution” against gun owners, reports ABC News.

What kind of revolution? A violent revolution, of course. “Hogg ended his his speech with the black power salute,” reports The Gateway Pundit.

David Hogg the next Joseph Goebbels?

It’s extraordinary that David Hogg not only uses the same sort of vile, hate-filled rhetoric of Adolf Hitler and Joseph Goebbels, but Hogg actually physically resembles Joseph Goebbels as the following photo reveals:

[Linked Image]

That’s Hitler’s top propagandist on the left, and David Hogg on the right. Both of these figures were heralded by state-run media; both invoke dangerous language of hatred, violence and profanity; and both demand that We the People give up our liberties so that the fascist tyrants can have absolute power and control over everything. They also both claim this is necessary “for the public good” and to “keep the children safe.”

[Linked Image]

It’s not difficult to see David Hogg replacing the Nazi soldier in this photo, holding the gun and firing a bullet into the head of a conservative Trump supporter while screaming, “IT’S FOR THE CHILDREN!”

The moment you give up your guns, you invite radical left-wing fascists to sweep across the country and commit mass murder and genocide

Once you give up your guns, of course, that’s when tyrannical regimes start cranking up the ovens and waging mass arrests of enemies of the state. Hogg, of course, is too young and ignorant to realize any of this, but he is proclaimed to have almost saint-like status by the anti-gun left-wing media, which despises individual liberties, truth, logic and reason. The very fact that their No. 1 spokesperson for gun control is an 18-year-old angry fascist-in-training tells you just how weak their position really is. (Seriously, this lunatic is the best they can drum up?)

Nobody seems to have told David Hogg that his outrageous rantings and foul-mouthed attacks on gun owners line up almost perfectly with Adolf Hitler, Fidel Castro, Joseph Stalin, Mao Tse-Tung and all the other gun control tyrants that have committed genocide and mass murder throughout history:

[Linked Image]

If David Hogg wins, America LOSES… and we will all be marched off in chains for daring to protect ourselves against criminals

If you look at the people in history who supported gun rights for individuals, you find a fascinating cross-section of humanitarians and freedom-loving world leaders who changed the world for the better. They include Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, Mahatma Gandhi (yes, he supported self-defense) and even Martin Luther King, Jr., as gun rights helped black men arm themselves against racist violence that often targeted them.

[Linked Image]

The tyrants who supported gun control — like David Hogg — include Kim Jong Il, Joseph Stalin, Adolf Hitler and Barack Obama. All these people sought to strip away individual liberties and enslave their citizens under government control. Taking away their guns was, of course, the first step toward accomplishing that.

It’s important to note that in every single case of tyrannical governments demanding gun confiscation and the mass disarmament of the citizens, the justification given was “public safety.” Once the guns were stripped away, the genocide soon followed.

Apparently, they don’t teach history in public schools anymore. Or perhaps David Hogg received an “F” in history class. Either way, people like Hogg are malicious, dangerous crybullies who have been witnessed throughout history pushing aggressive rhetoric in a run-up to mass genocide and mass murder at the hands of government. Even today, Hogg essentially demands that government use guns to take away firearms from all Americans, thus proving that he’s actually “pro gun violence” as long as that threat of violence is monopolized by the government itself. (Hint: All the “anti-gun” politicians protect themselves with armed security personnel, proving they are pro-gun as long as they control the guns.)

This is the mindset of all totalitarian mass murderers, and David Hogg appears to be unwittingly marching down that same path, in lockstep with the tyrants of world history who ended up with blood on their hands, murdering over 262 million innocent people in just the last century or so. As this “Democide” chart shows, governments murdered over 262 million people in the 20th century, and nearly all these murders were preceded by the exact kind of gun control now being demanded by David Hogg and his cohorts:

Anyone who supports government mass murder should support David Hogg, because that’s precisely where his rhetoric often leads.

Ultimately, gun control is GENOCIDE

Watch my mini-documentary to learn why gun control leads to genocide:

Larken Rose had a pretty good idea:

Quote
I think the new slogan of this anti-gun movement should be...

"Citizens who wish to use firearms should join the military or law enforcement! Ordinary citizens don't need guns, as their having guns doesn't serve the country!"

Then, when it becomes popular, we can point out that the quote is a slightly paraphrased statement by Heinrich Himmler, head of the Nazi Gestapo.

#MarchForOurLives Speaker Admits True Gun Control Plans

It’s going to be hard to label us as paranoid gun nuts when you confirm the paranoia


Louder With Crowder - March 26, 2018

Ok, #MarchForOurLives supporters. Take a knee. We need to talk. Far be it from me to tell you how to take away our constitutional rights. I know you guys want us to believe that this is really about “gun safety” and not “gun control. Even though the facts on the ground say otherwise (see Top 5 Idiotic Moments From ‘March for Our Lives’ Gun Control Rally and Video: Anti-Gun Marchers Can’t Answer Basic Firearm Questions). You want us to believe you don’t really hate gun owners.

If that’s the case, you may want to stop saying things like this in public:

https://youtu.be/9ORCmn3snhY

“When they give us that inch, that bump stock ban, we will take a mile.”

That is literally – and this is an appropriate use of the word here – the exact reason why gun rights advocates refuse to back down. Word for word. The left calls pro-gunners paranoid for thinking Big Brother is going to go door-to-door swiping gats. Then, in the next sentence, they confirm their intention of doing that very thing. These kiddos and #MarchForOurLives are a gift that just refuses to stop giving.

https://youtu.be/UnlR7z0sw04

This young lady just accidentally completed Second Amendment peeps’ work. We no longer need to make our case, she was kind enough to do it for us. To that, we can only say “thank you.”

Even non-gunners feel the same way. They’re just not quite as happy about it:

"This is a slippery slope toward total confiscation."
"Yes, that's our intention."
It makes the NRA's extreme rhetoric look like a reasonable reaction to a radical agenda.

— Kyle Sammin (@KyleSammin) March 25, 2018

Uh, that’s because the NRA’s “rhetoric,” also known as the United States Constitution, isreasonable compared to “grab-em-all” leftists. This one video clip makes our argument against gun control better than we ever could. For years to come, when pro-gunners invoke the slippery slope, they need only to cite this lass.

It’s going to be hard to label us as paranoid gun nuts when you confirm the paranoia.

David Hogg Caught Lying About Where He Was During Parkland Shooting

Anti-gun activist told CBS he was at home during massacre


Jamie White |

Anti-gun activist David Hogg made contradictory statements about where he was when the Parkland shooting took place, based on several video interviews.

For example, in this interview, Hogg describes being in an “AP environmental science” class when he heard gunshots, which he claims prompted his teacher to shut the door.

https://youtu.be/9u1x6LNo1rM

“So yesterday I was in my AP environmental science class, we had taken out all of our notes and we’re about to pack up to leave school and we hear a ‘pop’ and it happened to be a gunshot that echoed through the hallway,” Hogg told MSNBC last month. “And because of that, my teacher actually went and closed the door but as soon as she closed the door the fire alarm was pulled so this sick man could get more soft targets.”

He repeats the story, more or less, in this video:

https://youtu.be/5YDyGLYO0H0

But in another interview with CBS News, Hogg says he was at home during the shooting, and had to ride his bike several miles to get to Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School to “get as much video as he could” of the event.

https://youtu.be/IUOkBv6wMhc

“On the day of the shooting, I got my camera and got on my bike and rode as fast as I could three miles from my house to the school to get as much video and to get as many interviews as I could because I knew that this could not be another mass shooting.”

These contradictions aren’t unusual for Hogg.

As we reported, Hogg couldn’t get his story straight when recalling how many of his sister’s friends died in the shooting, and one of his first interviews with local media showed him repeatedly flubbing his talking points.

In an even more bizarre twist, Hogg apparently interviewed students during the shooting in a closet, which doesn’t support his story he rode his bike three miles after he first heard about the shooting.

David Hogg’s Sister Complains Her School Now Feels Like A ‘Prison’

Student speakers demanded a world where no school shooting could ever happen again

Chris Menahan | Information Liberation - April 3, 2018

The students of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School are quickly learning there are drawbacks to trading liberty for security.

At the March For Our Lives rally on March 24th, leftists carried signs which read, “Is ‘freedom’ more important than safety?”

Student speakers demanded a world where no school shooting could ever happen again.

On Sunday, CNN ran an article which said students at Parkland say their school now “feels like jail.”

They led a national march. Now Parkland students return to a school they say "feels like jail." https://t.co/Oy8hLNJPI6 pic.twitter.com/2G4HJ6iJ2Y

— CNN (@CNN) April 1, 2018

From CNN:

Students of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School return to class Monday, their first day back since organizing one of the largest youth-led protests in US history.

But these teenagers won’t be returning to a normal high school experience. Instead, they’ll be met with strict security measures which are intended to protect them from another mass shooting but have some students feeling as if they’ll be learning in a prison.

“Going to school is really so hard, and now it’s going to be so much worse,” said Isabelle Robinson, a senior. “A lot of the people I’ve talked to are dreading going back.”

[…] “It feels like being punished,” Robinson told CNN. “It feels like jail, being checked every time we go to school.”

Parkland activist Delaney Tarr said having to wear a clear backpack is a “violation of privacy”:

Starting off the last quarter of senior year right, with a good ol’ violation of privacy! pic.twitter.com/Glf9C14dsq

— Delaney Tarr (@delaneytarr) April 2, 2018

David Hogg’s sister Lauren Hogg also echoed the complaints on Twitter (and David Hogg retweeted her on his own account):

Today when I walk into school I will be greeted with armed police, wand detectors and clear backpacks.

Is this what my high school experience is going to be like? 3 more years of this…

Someday when my kids ask me about my high school experience what am I going to tell them?

— Lauren Hogg (@lauren_hoggs) April 2, 2018

You tell them this is what happens when you trade liberty for security.

My new backpack is almost as transparent as the NRA’s agenda.

I feel sooo safe now.

As much as I appreciate the effort we as a country need to focus on the real issue instead of turning our schools into prisons. #clearbackpacks #MarchForOurLives pic.twitter.com/HqBIeGjzF9

— Lauren Hogg (@lauren_hoggs) April 2, 2018

The NRA didn’t mandate your clear backpack. They supported armed security guards and arming highly trained teachers.

If the NRA had their way, we’d still have school gun clubs and the shooter would have been shot on sight, either by someone like Deputy Blaine Gaskill who stopped a school shooting in seconds three weeks ago in Maryland, an armed teacher, or potentially even by another student.

David Hogg’s Call For Boycott of Investment Giants BlackRock and Vanguard Falls Flat

Judging by David Hogg’s past success, now is probably a good time to buy Vanguard and BlackRock funds

Chris Menahan | Information Liberation - April 18, 2018


Judging by David Hogg’s past success, now is probably a good time to buy Vanguard and BlackRock funds.

From CNBC:

One of Parkland, Fla.’s most prominent student activists on stopping gun violence has called for a boycott of Vanguard and BlackRock, two of the world’s biggest investors in gunmakers.

In a post on Twitter on Tuesday, David Hogg remarked on the firms’ ownership of gun maker stocks, adding “if you use them, feel free to let them know.” Then he added two tags: BoycottVanguard BoycottBlackrock.

Hogg’s call for a boycott already appears to be falling flat as he only managed to garner a few thousand retweets:

.@blackrock and @Vanguard_Group are two of the biggest investors in gun manufacturers; if you use them, feel free to let them know. Thanks 😉

Fellow Parkland student Kyle Kashuv called Hogg a “clown” in the comments:

Playing with people's livelihood for your political gain makes you a coward with a severe disregard for facts.

BlackRock’s Democrat CEO Laurence Fink has already said they’ve made funds for people who don’t want gun stocks (few were interested).

As they’re both mega-corporations, both companies are pretty much already on board with an anti-gun agenda, so they’re an odd target for a boycott.

From CNN:

BlackRock is the top shareholder in gunmakers Sturm Ruger (RGR) and American Outdoor Brands (AOBC). It’s the second-largest shareholder in Vista Outdoor (VSTO).

Vanguard is the second-largest shareholder in Sturm Ruger, and the third-largest shareholder in American Outdoor Brands and Vista Outdoor.

A Vanguard spokesperson said that most Vanguard funds “do not have exposure to gun manufacturers,” and that 359 of its 388 funds do not directly invest in Sturm Ruger, American Outdoor Brands or Vista Outdoor. Investors can also put their money in a Vanguard social fund that excludes gunmakers.

“Importantly, Vanguard is taking action, meeting with the leaders of gun manufacturers and distributors,” the company said in a statement. “We want to know how they will mitigate the risks that their products pose and how they plan to help prevent such tragedies from happening again.”

As I reported on Tuesday, Hogg’s boycott of Laura Ingraham backfired epically with Ingraham getting record ratings on the week she returned and at least one advertiser who joined the boycott reversing their decision.


"The time for war has not yet come, but it will come and that soon, and when it does come, my advice is to draw the sword and throw away the scabbard." Gen. T.J. Jackson, March 1861

Not only that, but the Democrats polling numbers have been falling ever since gun control took center stage. If they want to win the House in November, the Dems are going to quietly - or not so quietly - shuffle him off the stage real soon. For David Hoggs, his fifteen minutes are just about over.

Onward and upward,

The NRA just broke a 15-year fundraising record , and memberships are still rising.

Thank you, David Hogg. They couldn't have done it without you.
