Florida shooting survivor explains how his generation can force a change on guns

David Hogg, a 17-year-old senior at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, huddled with classmates as gunman Nikolas Cruz tore through his high school Wednesday on a rampage that left 17 dead.

Hogg, a student journalist, took out his cellphone and began recording his classmates — a gun control plea in sickening real time.

The evening after the shooting, Hogg says, he biked up to the school, where the media was still camped out. This time, he put himself in front of the camera, making his first — but not final — plea for an end to mass shootings. He made another on CNN on Thursday morning, calling on lawmakers to “get something done.”

Hogg’s classmates were doing the same. Teenage survivors such as Hogg, Emma Gonzalez, Cameron Kasky, and more became the frustrated and furious faces of America’s failure to curtail gun violence.

Their anger, and their activism, is interrupting the typical mass shooting narrative. They are refusing to let the news cycle or the country move on, to forget about their 17 murdered classmates. They’re planning a march next month in Washington, DC; they’re bussing down to Tallahassee to rally this week; they’ll also speak at a town hall with politicians, including Florida’s two senators.

They aren’t stopping there. Hogg says he doesn’t want to return to school until gun control legislation is passed. “I hope every one of these bills is named after the people that died and the people that survived,” he told Vox. “That’s how we need to remember these people.”

Hogg, your 15 mins are up.

[INVAR]

Hogg and the rest of his limp-wristed Obama Yutes cannot force change on guns, unless they empower government to send out agents WITH guns to go out and kill Americans who refuse to abide by restrictions and surrender their guns.

Then they will rue the consequences of the kind of 'change' they instigated.

They are more then willing to do that.   First they'll vilify gun owners so that popular opinion is against them.

It is how all despotic and tyrannical regimes that begin pogroms of genocide against their own people begin.

[LMAO]

 None of what he wants is going to happen. It would be a bureaucratic nightmare, and completely unenforceable to say nothing about the expense.

This is where he’s being set up by the media and anti-gunners for a massive failure

Which, BTW, is never going to happen. Maybe in small, extreme leftists enclaves of the country but never on any scale
