This thread illustrates well the narrow-mined pettiness, stupidity, and intellectual laziness common to most conservatives.
David Hogg should be commended and supported in his efforts – particularly given the criticism we often hear directed at young people in general for being selfish, self-centered, and uninvolved.
David is involved, engaged, and passionate about an issue important to him – more young people need to do the same.
Although David is wrong with regard to his advocacy for more firearm regulatory measures – I for one will aggressively oppose him in any effort to enact a new AWB either at the state or Federal level, for example – it doesn’t mean he should be attacked and ridiculed for that position, where it’s perfectly appropriate to acknowledge David’s intelligence, dedication, and courage as he pursues his goals.
And although David is on the wrong side of the gun control debate, in the coming years he’ll be on the right side of most other issues – and that’s what frightens conservatives the most.
