David Hogg Has Lots to Learn — About the Second Amendment and Other Things

Recently David “Boss” Hogg (I decided to name him after Boss Hogg from the Dukes of Hazard) made the news again with the following Tweet:

“The biggest threat to national security is our elected officials”.

Apparently he is not aware that the biggest threat to America’s national security would be all the threats from abroad (e.g. terrorists, Iran, North Korea), instead of elected officials (although any liberals elected to office can pose a threat to America due to their anti-American philosophy).

Boss Hogg also attended the Toronto International Film Festival’s premiere of Michael Moore’s Fahrenheit 11/9. During the premiere, Boss Hogg addressed members of the audience by saying “I have a question for you guys: Who is ready to save America?”

I guess Boss Hogg was a liberal prior to the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, hence the result of indoctrination within the school system.

At any rate, he apparently also believes guns (and hence the Second Amendment) are a threat to America, when in fact the Second Amendment kept America free and secure. One particular example would be World War II, in which the Japanese contemplated invading the United States, but decided not to because they believed there was a rifle behind every blade of grass (something that Admiral Isoroku Yamamato supposedly said).

Boss Hogg also knows little about firearms. For instance, he is one of many gun control advocates who believes that the AR-15 is an assault rifle, when in fact it is not.

Despite his advocacy of gun control, Boss Hogg claims to be for the Second Amendment, as stated on his Twitter page. Naturally, he calls for change on his Twitter page, and some of his Tweets are hypocritical, especially when he tweeted on the matter surrounding the Donald and the New York Times, which are as follows:
“For anyone that calls themselves a patriot, now is the time to prove it and stand up to attacks on the free press. We need a free press for a democracy to function.”

“Donald Trump‘s attacks on our intelligence community and love of dictators is deeply concerning and should be to everybody no matter who you support.”

“Also, he’s also trying to destroy the free press by sending the federal government after the op-ed writer which is another thing we should all be horrified by.”

First, America is a republic, not a democracy. Second, the Donald does not love dictators. Third, he is criticizing (and not trying to destroy) the liberal media, which dominates the free press these days.

In conclusion, Boss Hogg has a lot to learn.
