Teen activist David Hogg has been busy boycotting common sense by calling for a boycott of the NRA followed by a boycott of Florida. What’s next?
Hogg, who survived Nikolas Cruz’s Valentine’s Day shooting at the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Florida, has been celebrated by the mainstream media for his eagerness to push anti-gun laws.
Hogg launched the NRA boycott on Twitter by pressuring corporations like Amazon, eBay, and Budget car rental service to sever ties to the National Rifle Association.
Let's make the goal for this next hour to get @TrueCar to cut ties with @NRA #BoycottNRAElite

Thanks to widespread pressure from the mainstream media, several car rental companies and airlines cut ties with the National Rifle Association.
However, the NRA vowed to fight back, saying they’re being blamed for the epic incompetence of the FBI and the local police, which ignored a steady stream of credible tips alerting them that Nikolas Cruz was homicidal and had repeatedly threatened to shoot up his school.
While David Hogg is gleefully calling for a boycott of the NRA and of his home state, he casts no blame on the FBI since his father is a retired FBI agent.
Thanks to his exultation by the media, Hogg has amassed more than 314,000 Twitter followers, and he’s using his newfound platform to condemn the Second Amendment.
While Hogg openly criticizes Second-Amendment proponents like radio host Dana Loesch, anyone who criticizes the 17-year-old high school student could be banned from Twitter (thereby impinging on their First Amendment right to free speech).

Not surprisingly, Hogg received a ton of support from liberal Twitter.
.@davidhogg111 and his surviving classmates will lead the way. This #ChildrensCrusade will transform America — not least because, as David says, they’ll survive us and will outlive the politicians who’ve sold out to the gun industry. https://t.co/DGYawIsWVv

However, others told David to enjoy his 15 minutes of fame. With today’s hyper-short news cycles, today’s media hero could quickly become tomorrow’s nobody.
P.S. – Nikolas Cruz was not a member of the NRA. But don’t let facts get in the way of a good narrative.
Good luck punk your 15 min of fame is almost over https://t.co/QuXycPAZZf

Sooo… Cruz was a member of the @NRA?
Me thinks someone has a political agenda. We’ve seen the Bernie posts, the boohooing about Trump in your timeline. Congrats on being a puppet. #fraud @Thomas1774Paine @TrueLiesPat @LisaMei62 @jerome_corsi @seanhannity— WhiteRabbit (@WhiteRbit41020) February 23, 2018
I hope you know you are the nation’s # 1 firearm salesman right now. Keep it up, you may just end up being the NRAs employee of the month. #SchoolSafety #SheriffIsraelResign

Your war against the nra and responsible gun owners won’t work. Your ignorance of the second amendment is on display. Democrat lunatics shoot up schools. Schools aren’t safe. That’s the problem. Crusading against the nra will not fix it https://t.co/BhbkmO9r3X
