David Hogg has of course been tweeting nonstop doing his best to use these latest shootings to remain relevant after so many fails over the past several months. Honestly, it comes across as exploiting a tragedy for Twitter and political cred but we don’t suppose he knows how to do much else so here we are.
He asked for gun owners to reach out to him about putting safety first and canceling the NRA, and he proposed a nifty little hashtag.
Truth be told, we looked at the hashtag and sure, there are plenty of people thumping their little chests, claiming to be gun owners while calling rifles ‘assault weapons’ (which probably means they aren’t really gun owners) … but we’re not seeing how it will do much more than get mocked.
Or you know, Twitchied.
Gun owners are contacting me asking what they can do. Right now here’s what I need you to do.
Tweet #GunOwnersForSafety to show that the NRA doesn’t represent you because you believe in working together as Americans to save our kids even if a small step and get others to tweet.

Yeah, tweet to stop gun violence. That oughta do it.
Or you know, demand Democrats stop blocking legislation to secure our schools and protect them like we protect any state or federal building.
@WalshFreedom @ryandbusse @MichaelCohen212 please ask your followers to join. We don’t agree on everything but we all agree we need action. please help me make this time different by getting gun owners on board. Let’s start by getting this trending. #GunOwnersForSafety

Joe Walsh, really dude?
HA HA HA HA
Sorry, he can’t be serious. David does know Joe once tweeted about taking up arms if Trump didn’t win in 2016, right? Or that he used racist slurs? Pretending he’s some sort of ally is pretty damn pathetic.
And Gabby Giffords … really?
https://t.co/YCickzkfx6 you can take action as a gun owner here with Marches ally in the movement @GiffordsCourage

Gun owners for safety.
K.
The implication here is that the @NRA is not for gun safety…since when? They are against government gun control, that does not mean they are for school shootings. How many of these tragedies have been done by members of the NRA, betting not many.

Yeah, the NRA provides more gun safety training than most any other organization in the country.
You do you though, Boo.
Gun Owner here. What new law would have prevented what happened in Texas? As I've mentioned before if you're interested in protecting our children and the only thing you talk about are more gun laws, you'll never solve the problem.

"Small step."
Here's one. Allow juvenile records to flow over to adulthood when the circumstances present themselves. This kid in TX was arrested for declaring he was going to shoot up a school when he turned 18. Had his record been available to NICS, he'd have been denied.

That’s the story floating around today about Ramos. The rumor is four years ago Ramos and another minor boy threatened to shoot up a school … of course, an official is saying it was not Ramos but there’s no way of knowing since he was a minor at the time.
Convenient.
No, they're nothttps://t.co/NN4gdqJOoX

Only someone dumb enough to make a failed pillow company can think a hashtag is the solution to a mentally I’ll leftist killing 19 kids https://t.co/rzgVgCKJnv

We’re sure the NRA is super worried about David and his little hashtag.
