Parkland school shooting survivor David Hogg ignored a simple question about gun control and background checks on CNN’s “New Day” Tuesday and refused to answer directly.

Host Alisyn Camerota asked Hogg if universal background checks would have prevented the February 2018 tragedy at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. Hogg, however, failed to come up with a clear answer. (RELATED: David Hogg To Enroll At Harvard)

“I think there’s many instances, and instances of gun violence, that could have stopped further acts of gun violence. There’s 40,000 people that die of gun violence every year, and a very small minority of them end up being in school shootings,” he replied. “When we’re talking about hardening our schools and different things, what we’re not talking about is how we’re going to make our communities safer. When we’re talking about school safety, we’re neglecting the thousands of students that die either coming to school or coming back from school everyday, or simply just outside their house.”

Like any communist or socialist organization, party loyalty is the primary attribute required for success and upward mobility.

I made a reasonable effort not long after he became a media darling to try and determine his actual whereabouts with any sort of surety

I could not do so. He could very well have been there but he could very well have not. It is easy to assume he was not simply because he’s obviously a psychopathic liar

Camera Hogg is a lying of course. The real amount of deaths by gun violence is around 12,000 average annually, the rest are suicides.

If he wants to ban suicides by gun then he’ll have to ban bridges, pharmaceuticals and razor blades in bathtubs along with.

Hoggs makes the mistake of assumiong “gun free zone” schools and neighborhood are equal.

There’s 40,000 people that die of gun violence every year,

The gun grabbers keep using that conflated number -- but people who want to die (suicides) and people who don't want to die (murder victims) are as far apart as it gets.

Japan has a higher suicide rate than the US and prohibits private gun ownership. Where there is a will, there is a way.

"I think there’s many instances, and instances of gun violence, that could have stopped further acts of gun violence."

This is, of course, incoherent.

Not really, it's pretty obvious he's saying that having your own firearm will protect you from the bad guys.
