David Hogg: Gun Ownership Should be “Privilege, Not a Right”

Just when you thought your TV might have become a Hogg-free zone . . .

Tuning in CNN this morning, there was David Hogg. Again. And the Parkland survivor-turned-gun-control-activist made one thing clear: he has no use for the Second Amendment. Hogg accused the NRA of liking to “hide behind the Second Amendment and say this is our constitutional right. We’re Americans.” Well, yeah: you nailed, it, David!

A bit later, David really gave away his game. Hogg praised countries like Sweden, where gun ownership is treated “as a privilege, rather than a right.”

At least for now, I’m able to “hide behind” the First Amendment in critiquing Hogg. Could treating free speech “as a privilege rather than a right” be next on the liberals’ list?

Note: give host Alisyn Camerota some credit. Although her voice was filled with skepticism about what “they,” the NRA, would say, she did raise the counter-argument to banning AR-15s — that it would put the “good guys” at a disadvantage in defending themselves.

Jonah Goldberg wrote a good column making that point.

Which shows:

  1. Even a stopped clock is right twice a day (Goldberg being a never-Trumper) and
  2. It is obvious to many that people shouldn't listen to children because children are in fact childish

A privilege issued by who? A tyrannical government? Don’t think so bitch. The constitution doesn’t belong to the government, it belongs to the people despite what your daddy may tell you Hogg.

I wonder if Hogg’s testicles have dropped yet.

Seems to me he was set up to be the spokesperson BEFORE the so called shooting.

Yeah I said it. Now I’ll put on my tin foil hat and wait for responses.

Wrong, kid. Like it or not, it’s a RIGHT and your opinion doesn’t matter very much.

Like it or not, it’s a RIGHT and your opinion doesn’t matter very much at all.

I’m going to assume that young Mr. Hogg’s political opinions are heavily influenced by his parents. If this true and his Father is a representation of the mentality of the current members of the FBI, we are in bigger trouble than I thought.

David Hogg likes to think that free speech is a right - but I think it’s a privilege and it’s time his was revoked.

See how easy that is Hogg?

Your mama and daddy should'a had to pass a "patriot test" before getting married and having children.

It's not your fault you're an asshole ... it IS your fault you continue to BE one.

Kamera Hogg is going to look like Alan Colmes when he finally grows up. He already thinks like him.

They’ll take away my First Amendment right to criticize Hogg when they pry my keyboard FMCDF. ;-)

His victim status is running out. Remember Cindy Sheehan.

My children actually had more sense when they were children because I had them study the constitution and we discussed the reasons for all the amendments.

I’m pretty sure if he lived in Sweden he would also know a victim or two of rapefugees. I suggest we should call him “Spotlight Hogg” from now on.

We all feel bad that these kids had to go through this. But calling them survivors is a big stretch.
