SPRINGFIELD, Mass. — Student gun control advocates and one of the survivors of the Parkland, Florida, school shooting are finishing a 50-mile, four-day march in Massachusetts to the headquarters of gun manufacturer Smith & Wesson.

The group is gathering outside company headquarters Sunday in Springfield.

The marchers have condemned Smith & Wesson for making the rifle used in the February mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland. The group wants the company to donate $5 million to gun violence research.

The Boston Globe reported David Hogg, a Parkland shooting survivor, called the march empowering and said Massachusetts shows how commonsense gun laws work.

Another group held signs across the street from Smith & Wesson supporting the gun-maker and the Second Amendment.

Smith & Wesson hasn’t responded to requests for comment.

The Boston Globe reported David Hogg, a Parkland shooting survivor, = ARTICE.

WRONG. He had graduated the year before and was filming the shooting.  He is paid, to do this.

Your source is full of shit.  Stop getting your "fact" from places like the World Nut Daily and Downtrend.

Well, Smith & Wesson ought to show that they care by making a donation:
$5.00.

Better recheck your facts. He graduated in June of this year.

Hogg was a student at the time of the shooting.  However, he was not on campus when the shooting took place.  Hogg rode his bicycle as fast as he could back to the school after hearing about the rampage.

Hogg was still a student at the time of the shooting.  However, he is not, as the media claims, a "survivor" of the shooting as he wasn't actually present at the school when the shooting took place. 

Supposedly, he is taking a "gap year" because his SAT scores were not exactly stellar and the colleges and universities he wanted to attend would not accept him.  However, it doesn't look like Piggy Boy isn't doing much studying if he's running around protesting and posting his venom on social media. 

However, I believe you may be correct that someone or some organization is financing all of his appearances and protests.

Extortion. That's all it's about with him.

This kid probably has no intention of going to college. Why should he? He's getting rich and famous, thanks to the media and (I suspect) Bloomberg/Soros. He's like a Kardashian - no talent, no skills, no education, but still a celebrity. Yay!

Don't need a college education for what he does.  As I said, he is likely being well compensated by someone or something to act like a jerk. 

Thing is, eventually, whoever is backing him will cut him loose and his well paying gigs will be over.  With no education, skills or work experience and that annoying sense of entitlement, I expect he will be living in his parents' basement for a very long time. 

Either that, or he will be living on the streets, drug addled or maybe in prison.  That's usually what happens to people who squander their lives, opportunities and their God-given talents as Piggy Boy is doing.

That kind of fame is usually enough to get admitted to Harvard.

Maybe this is the straw that will cause S&W to change HQ to a more friendly environ.

If Hogg tried this is Texas, he would encounter more supporting S&W than those he marches with.

Massachusetts has no problem killing its golden goose.

[skeeter]

I hear he's threatened to crash his bicycle through the front gate & arm wrestle all comers.

[Wingnut]

Camera Hogg does know those people at S & W have guns and access to a lot of tbem.

LMAO!   Now that's an event I'd pay to see.

"Spaghetti Arms" Hogg?

"Spaghetti Arms" Hogg? 

Its true. He's just waiting for 'take your daughter to work day' to execute his plan.

[Slide Rule]

S&W should inform the aggressors that their physical
attack is being considered seriously as an attack against
their persons. Inform that they fear for their lives.

They will protect themselves as necessary up to and
including every force available to them.

The group wants the company to donate $5 million to gun violence research.

Or What? The 'Or What' part of this story is completely missing. In order to compell S&W to do something, they have to have some kind of leverage. I don't see any leverage coming from bike-boy and his gang of hippies.

Shouldn't he be at home eating skittles and playing Call-of-Duty with his nerd friends instead of all this nonsense?

[IsailedawayfromFR]

Not them all.  He is getting paid.

By whom?
