The whole thing is Fake News.

The kids are put in front of the cameras while aged Progressives run the show with big Hollywood money.

There's been almost no interviews of the survivors who weren't Left Wing Radicals.

And the son doesn't fall far from the tree with arrogance mixed with ineptitude - his father Kevin Hogg was an FBI agent.

HappyGilmore says

sources for those supposed lies?

Try this:

David Hogg Changes Story, Wasn’t At School When Cruz Opened Fire.

In a not-yet-released CBS Documentary, David Hogg, Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School student who has become the face of the gun control movement, changes his entire story and admits that he was not at the school during the event.

In a Time interview done within hours of the shooting Hogg recounted, “Our first response was ‘that sounded a lot like a gun shot’ and we closed the door.” Hogg claimed that he was in his AP enviromental science class during the shooting. He also made videos of himself and other students, regarding gun control, purportedly while the shooting was going on.

But CBS News has released some transcripts from its “39 Days” documentary, in which student David Hogg is quoted.

“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,” Hogg said in his CBS News interview.

Yes, it can be difficult when being shot at to determine if you're in a classroom or miles away at home. When you're a blatant liar, these small details can slip by.

https://www.yahoo.com/news/david-hogg-conspiracy-theory-explained-144917479.html

"Red State printed an update on its article and the author apologized, but the updated story received only a fraction of the engagement that the original post had on Facebook. Big League Politics, meanwhile, was still pushing the conspiracy theory after 9 a.m. Tuesday. Infowars was also posting the story on Tuesday morning.
Fans of both sites were still swallowing up the stories."

Sniper is clearly one of those fans.

Sure - here is a super-cut of Hogg.

The dude is a strident foul-mouthed moron. Even my gun grabbing liberal mother-in-law can't stand him and says he is turning people off.

She's right. The kid is insufferable. He's a straight shill w an enormous ego. Since he was rejected from merely ok schools like UC Irvine, his new goal is to take a gap year to "change the world." All the while he accuses anyone who disagrees as having "blood of dead children" on their hands. Tyranny is the deliberate removal of nuance. This kids offers nothing but theatrics to the tyrants.

He's a terrible influence

No--he accuses Congresspeople who are bought and paid for by the NRA as having the blood of dead children on their hands.

Like I said--I don't agree with the hyperbole, but at least get it right. No need for you to exaggerate and remove nuance too.

Lol! and yet you speak in hyperbole.

I did. The kid uses inclusive phrasing such as "what type of person chooses guns over childrens lives" and "our old ass parents don't know how to use a democracy."

See - this insufferably smug moron of a kid even has you aping the same crazy rhetoric..........saying Republicans and the NRA have blood on their hands. All the while Hogg and his buddies actually defend the total incompetence and cowardice of their local sheriff's department and the FBI failing to do something despite a gazillions signs and warnings that Cruz was going to shoot up a school.

Talk about having blood on one's hands!

Meanwhile, despite a month straight of our liberal media giving these kids non-stop coverage to bash the NRA, gun owners and Republicans.......

Liberals listen and verify by checking the facts. In this case, Rubio has taken a great deal of $$ from the NRA and his voting record seems to indicate this cash bought his loyalty.

The real clueless ones are the guys who believe whatever nonsense they read on redstate or bigleaguepolitics. How many times can Trump supporters fall for the same BS lies? I guess a lot--otherwise there wouldn't be so many websites that pander to them.

Hogg Today: "I'm just a kid, everybody boycott people who make fun of meeeeeee Waaaaah."

AltLeft Everyday: "Take these kids seriously."

Oh, the old days, when there was only a daily paper and some news channels, and it was easy to create the illusion that something totally nuts was reasonable and you were the only one of a handful aside from a tiny handful of people on some BBS or usenet forum who saw through the BS.

He's a wonderful influence. Now the dumbass 60s era rejects and professional activists who haven't been outside LA, DC, and NY in 30 years certainly think so.

You know, the kind of brilliant people who lost a rigged election, despite raising almost double the money, will the Legacy Media running 90% negative stories against their gal's opponent, with help from the FBI getting FISA warrants on fake info from their Oppo Research PR Firm to smear a candidate.

Let them keep on thinking so.

The opposite. I get uncomfortable from a FREEDOM! boner, knowing he's turned another person away from the dark side with his puerile smug stupidity.

Never interrupt your enemies when they're putting on a clown show, digging deeper, and thinking their mistakes are the pathway to Victory.

Sounds like Leftist are sheep and lemmings and will follow clueless Hogg right off the cliff.

Just wait until Cruz starts talking.

All these swarmy drama kids who think they're hot shit - it's gonna turn out they were the worst bullies of Cruz out of all of them, and thus, partially responsible for the whole thing.

Goodbye, moral superiority.

lol. It is amazing that Trump supporters are in such a bubble that they have no idea how these issues are really playing in the country. All they know is how their extreme base reacts.

Here's a little real data:

http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/380443-students-leading-gun-violence-protests-seen-more-favorably-than

"A majority of respondents, 56 percent, see the students of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, who organized Saturday's March for Our Lives, in a positive light, compared to 34 percent who say they have an unfavorable view of them.
By comparison, only 39 percent of voters have a favorable opinion of the NRA, the powerful gun rights lobbying group that has vehemently opposed the student-led protests. Forty-four percent of respondents have a negative view."

http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/379939-ap-poll-finds-highest-support-for-gun-control-in-five-years

"Nearly 7 in 10 adults surveyed in the Associated Press–NORC poll are now in favor of stronger gun control laws, the highest measure of support in the five years the AP has asked the question. Overall, 69 percent of those polled favored stricter gun control measures, a large jump from the 55 percent who indicated support in an October 2013 poll."

This is a NOT a winning issue for Republicans. But, by all means, keep mocking high school kids! Keep calling them names!

I'm sure suburban soccer Moms will react favorably to that...

HappyGilmore says

How much?

Nice that a poster asks me an easily answered question but ignores me so I can't respond to him. I guess that's how Trump supporters roll these days. Very trollish behavior.

Dozens per gun crime death, yes. Abortion is thus a far larger moral issue.

Why does it matter if voters pool capital to support guns rights and political proponents of those rights?

The extreme left has proven the value of an NRA membership. I don't own any guns, but I may join the nra today because the 2nd amendment is both of vital importance and under attack.

It matters if that money is used to buy votes. That's illegal.

Planned parenthood alone performs abortions equaling about 10x the gun crime death rate each year.

Define "buy votes". The NRA collects money from millions of americans and gives money to 2nd A proponents. Period. It's as democratic and grassroots as a political organization gets.

Giving money to a candidate in return for a guarantee that he/she will vote in the way you tell them to.

lol. Grassroots is giving money to a candidate because you share his views. NRA instructs candidates how to vote and keeps a scorecard to blackmail them. Threatens to finance their opponents if they don't vote the way the NRA orders them to.

The NRA is the exact opposite of grassroots and democratic. It is part of the swamp.

.

Left out of your quote:

Americans view the students who led nationwide protests against gun violence more positively than the National Rifle Association (NRA), according to a survey released Tuesday by the left-leaning firm Public Policy Polling.

It's very dangerous to believe one's own BS from a Push Poll.

Indeed, the long term term trend - aside from asking people just after a tragedy - is that support for banning "assault weapons" is decreasing.

Polling on the issue is clear. In 2012 support for an “assault weapon” ban had slipped almost 30 points, to 49 percent, and in 2014 Pew Research reported that for the first time in two decades most Americans support the right to keep and bear arms over more gun control. A massive majority of Americans – almost 70 percent – say they prefer to live in neighborhoods where people can own guns.

A Suffolk University/USA Today poll in 2015 found that most Americans, by an impressive margin of 52 to 43 percent, did not want gun control to be a factor in the 2016 elections. Hillary Clinton ignored these findings and bashed the NRA and gun-owners every chance she got – which is part of the reason Donald Trump currently resides in the White House.

https://www.fff.org/explore-freedom/article/gun-control-losing-issue-democrats-know

Then we have PA-18, where the blue dog winner-by-a-hair Conor Lamb went out of his way to support Gun Rights and to make clear he didn't support an assault weapons ban. If he had been a Gun Grabber, Lamb certainly would have lost one of the few elections Democrats have won since Trump entered office.

And in all many areas of the country that aren't Urban Heavily Blue districts, Democrats lose, lose, lose, on Gun Control. There isn't a campaign adviser anywhere that recommends Democrats campaign on Gun Control, because its a losing issue for them. From Chuck Schumer to Chris Murphy, Democrat bigwigs are urging candidates to avoid the Gun Control issue like the plague in the Midterms.

November is a long way off. And even CNN can't keep beating the Gun Control drum for 7-8 months straight.

The Trend Ain't Your Friend.
