CNN's own David Hogg, gun salesman

UPDATE: Enough already: Parkland kids' fifteen minutes of fame is over
Now, as teenagers are wont to do, they've taken their passion too far.  Their idealism, which was shaped and spurred by a tragic event, has turned into vitriolic animosity.  Hogg and his peers are no longer asking for gun control legislation – they want to eradicate the reputation of anyone who offers disagreement, creating a new caste of opinionated untouchables.
Thomas Lifson  . . . "David Hogg is now helping to increase the number of firearms in the hands of Americans, the very opposite of what he says he wants to accomplish. One of the drawbacks of being a young crusader is the inability to predict complex cause-and-effect reactions. Everything seems so simple and clear when you are young and ignorant of human nature and cannot fathom in the least the ways of thinking of people who disagree with you."

Gun Sales Soar, Set Record in March Amid Push for New Gun-Control Measures


"March background checks smash old record by almost 250,000 with over 2.7 million checks."

Strangely, the video was not found on YouTube.

David Hogg on Whether Shadow Groups Are Supporting Ingraham Boycott: ‘I Don’t Have Any Shadowy Figures Behind Me’
. . . "Hogg's attempt at a boycott campaign got the attention of Media Matters for America president Angelo Carusone, who has been instrumental in targeting Fox News host Sean Hannity's advertisers. Hogg's tweet prompted Carusone to warn him about the importance of being "careful with advertiser lists unless you really know the source they came from and how they compiled."

"Media Matters was founded by David Brock, an ally of Hillary Clinton, and is partly funded by liberal billionaire George Soros, who donated a $1 million back in 2010 "to hold Fox News accountable for the false and misleading information they so often broadcast." Think Progress editor and founder Judd Legum has also been instrumental in pushing the boycott on Twitter and through multiple articles on his website.

"Hogg then shifted the conversation away from shadowy groups to discuss the negativity aimed at the gun control movement, where he has emerged as a national voice."
