David Hogg Avoids CNN’s Simple Question About Gun Control(ICYMI)
dailycaller.com ^ | 1/8/2019 | Nick Givas

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.”

Well, perhaps he was preoccupied thinking about his freshman year at hahvahad and all the chicks that'll be.....walking away quickly. Or he's taking the anti training to heart and maintains vagueness when able.

This is, of course, incoherent.

Nah, dudn’t look like he’d be interested in the sorority sisters. Rather, he’s probably excited about the prospect of getting into Congress. If Ocasio Cortez can do it, hell anyone can.

Was it over when the Germans attacked Pearl Harbor? NO!

What he's really saying, but would never admit it, is there are many instances when a good guy with a gun stopped a bad guy with a gun.

Clowns like Hogg seek emotional over reaction to impose a fascist agenda that has no hope of impacting the issue at hand.

This shooting COULD have been prevented, that day, IF certain individuals had ACTED rather than - ignoring the fact they saw the shooter there on campus and KNEW who he was, yet did NOTHING.

And this is aside from that stupid deputy who stood outside for the entire duration that the shooting was taking place!

Anybody else go over that timeline that was published this last week (or so)?
