David Hogg is not the problem, he’s just one more *sshole in a world full of *ssholes. The real problem is the liberal media, who are using this particular *sshole, and others like him, to push their agenda.
Quite frankly, if David Hogg can be categorized as anything it would be as a puppet, a very naïve young man who truly believes (or claims to believe) that firearms are the reason people are getting killed and that banning their sale or even more absurd, confiscating them from the general public, is even remotely possible.
As anyone with a functioning brain knows, it all boils down to the individual; the mindset of the person or persons who are willing to harm others. The tools can always be found, be it handguns, rifles, shotguns, knives, machetes, cars, vans, trucks, airplanes, pressure cookers, etc.
Stupid laws, such as those in liberal states like Illinois, California, Massachusetts and the like where knife blades are restricted to 3″ or less and gun magazines to less than 10 rounds (or whatever the new laws dictate) don’t work. All they do is restrict the use of these “weapons” to law-abiding citizens. After all, criminals are not going to think: “gee, I need to get a new knife because the one I currently use to hold up liquor stores has too large a blade and is against the law”!!!
And in terms of outlawing firearms and/or physically removing them from the general public, remember prohibition, how did that work out? TGO

A Florida police K-9 officer is facing disciplinary action after he posted a disturbing comment on Facebook in a thread about a “die-in” protest at a supermarket.
Information about the protest at Publix, where nationally-known Parkland student David Hogg and other students outlined 17 bodies in the parking lot, was posted on a Coral Springs/Parkland Facebook page, the Sun-Sentinel reports.
Brian Valenti, who has been with Coconut Creek Police Department for 23 years, wrote “hope some old lady loses control of her car in that lot” under a photo of Hogg, who organized the event.
A screenshot of the comment was sent to Coconut Creek commissioners and Police Chief Butch Arenal Saturday night, the Sun-Sentinel reports. The comment has since been deleted.
“He feels terrible and is very willing to apologize in person,” Rod Skirvin, a union leader and recently retired Coconut Creek detective, told the Sun-Suntinel. “We are going to speak to the chief on Tuesday when he goes back to work. There will be disciplinary repercussions for him.”
The police department is in talks with Valenti about next steps, but could not confirm as of Tuesday morning what disciplinary action will be taken.
Following the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla., that left 17 people dead, Hogg has become a voice for stricter gun laws and an outspoken critic of the National Rifle Association.

Kudos to this cops superiors for reprimands. The tax payers do not pay his salary to be heard from. If they want to join our circus out here, they need to wait until they retire. Cops should be seen, not heard from.
-Ghostrider Wisdom…that’s my story and I’m sticking to it.
INCORRECT. Freedom of speech is EVERYONE’S right! If some dirt-bag football player has the right to kneel before the national anthem, as you suggest, a cop certainly has the right to express HIS opinion. You can’t have it both ways my friend.
As usual, your arguments are totally incoherent.
