It is difficult to think of someone who has focused more on fear and less on facts than @davidhogg111.

The media took interest in him to push an agenda. They've propped people up and have turned them intro shields. I am not doubting anyone's sincerity, but people have certainly been hiding behind my classmates to push an agenda.
They've agreed to work with organizations like the Woman's March who have affiliations with Lewis Farrakhan - a known antisemite. Regardless of what they think, the cause was hijacked by Hollywood and became a Hollywood event.
The #March4OurLives had so much potential to be pure and grassroots but became very far from that. It was exactly what conservatives hate and what liberals love. At this point, with millions of dollars involved, every student, including myself, became a pawn in a game of chess.
People that just experienced a horrific tragedy were now on the national stage propped up by millions of dollars. It is too late to back out. Armed with little facts and lots of feelings, my peers made their way on to major networks to spread their message.
First CNN holds a town hall hosted by @jaketapper (who worked for Handgun Control, Inc) which was incredibly biased to start. While everyone was invited to attend the event, not a single conservative was allowed to ask a question.
This stage was used for smearing of honorable individuals for no reason at all. @jaketapper, who I would consider an honorable mand and good journalist, didn't object once and allowed my peers to show no regard for a US Senator. It was appalling to watch and unbearable.
One of my peers had the gall to say: “Senator Rubio, it’s hard to look at you and not look down the barrel on an AR-15 and not look at Nikolas Cruz.”
A peer also said, "One also said: “I wish I could have asked the NRA lady [Loesch] a question... would ask her how she can look in the mirror, considering the fact that she has children."
This is all just at the town hall and before the @AMarch4OurLives was getting going.
While many people have said many hogwash statements, the one person who has crossed many, many lines is @davidhogg111. He has said inflammatory things: 'Our Parents Don't Know How To Use a F**king Democracy So We Have To' and the left has stood by it without any condemnation.
Calling NRA members murderers is not okay
For some reason, David has no problem blaming every innocent person he wants to but has no problem defending the Coward of Broward for absolutely no reason other than to push his narrative.
David lacks an understanding of what the NRA does and who its members are.
David has also contradicted himself on multiple occasions. Things he's said indicate he doesn't actually know what he wants
David also lacks a basic understanding of what laws are currently on the books. This indicated a lack of understandings on the fundamentals of what he's fight for and against.
Uhmm... what?
He then ostracizes Senator Rubio saying he can never do enough despite him being swift to action and was influential in passing all the legislation that has been passed since.

First of all, as a practical matter, banning all weapons that have a similar range to the AR would mean banning almost all hunting weapons too (if “effective range” is the metric you’re using for banning people)...
2nd, Heller (and 2A jurisprudence generally), reads the 2A not merely as a right of self defense against your neighbor, but as a bulwark against the state. I.e. merely saying something isn’t “self defense” the way Hogg did doesn’t address the core constitutional concerns at play.
Finally, as a practical matter, (other than Vegas) no one is committing mass shootings from 400 meters
You're an absolute disgrace. Putting your face on anything to do with "school safety" is a slap in the face to my classmates and 17 families that are still mourning.
The STOP School Violence Act was passed in the Omnibus back in March. It’s now law. Schools have already applied for grant money and those will be awarded by DOJ at the end of the fiscal year. campussafetymagazine.com/safety/stop-sc…
The funding is available for programs that address the exact shortcomings in these recent school shootings— safety infrastructure, training for teachers and administrators, working with law enforcement. What could be a more direct solution to these shootings than that?
This is the biggest investment in school safety in history. A billion dollars over ten years for evidence-based programs that work. Education leaders across the country believe this is a large part of the answer.
Tragedy is the unfortunate reason I was given a platform. I will never forget my mission which is to make sure schools are secured.
It's my honor to endorse @rpetty and @MendelsonBCPS6 for School Board. We need to #FixIt and they're a large part of the solution. This isn't about party. This is about safety.
I know my endorsement doesn't mean much, but if I can get even 1 more vote, I'll be forever humbled.
I will do anything I can to make sure we flip the Broward School Board. With 2 weeks left until school, it's every student at Douglas' job to join in this mission to secure our schools.
No, they aren't accurate. The numbers are from something called the Gun Violence Archive. These guys largely rely on newspaper accounts to record these events. I am sure that the first row includes suicides. Defensive Gun Uses are from newspapers, but even then they use a...
...different higher "verified" standard that they don't use for their other counts. About 95% of DGUs don't involve a gun being fired. They aren't newsworthy. About 90% of news stories on DGUs involve a death, almost all the rest are for injuries. But we know that in real life...
...injuries exceed deaths by about 7 or 8 to 1. The reason for deaths being covered in media is b/c deaths are more newsworthy. The media usually only gives initial coverage to an event, and that is often well before we know all the facts about what happened. The Gun Violence...
It's a real shame. I invited @SenBillNelson to address the dozens of MSD students attending #HSLS2018, but his office won't even return the multiple emails I sent. I hope it's a mistake - if it is, please feel free to DM me.
Thanks
While I understand politicians are busy, almost everyone's office has answered the email I sent their scheduler's and declined politely. Why not Nelson?
Other D invited @amyklobuchar is trying to make it work. See the difference between the two. It's stark.
