David Hogg feels like he’s an expert on gun policy, so he decided present a 5 point platform. To his credit, he actually asked for feedback. He’s not going to listen, but it’s nice that he’s pretending to take our thoughts into consideration.
Check it out.
Comment why you do or don’t support our 5 point platform below I want to try responding to as many people as I can.
1. CDC funding for research into gun violance
2. Universal Background checks
3. Digitization of ATF records
4. High-Capacity magazine ban
5. Assault weapons ban— David Hogg (@davidhogg111) May 11, 2018
1.) Waste of money– makes no difference in the longrun
2.) You already have to go through a background check when purchasing through a FFL dealer. Private sales are none of your business
3.) I think they already do that
4.) Misidentifies the problem
5.) Assault weapons aren’t A Thing
I want to have a discussion about this we may not agree on everything but I’m sure that there is some common ground

Does he really think he’s the right guy to call for a civil discussion? He called NRA members murderers.
Whatever. He asked. Conservatives answered.
1. Thy already do, stop lying about this.
2. We already do background checks, stop lying about this.
3. They already are, stop lying about this.
4. No.
5. Define “assault weapon.” But if you mean full-auto weapons, they already are, so stop lying about this.— In Guinness Veritas (@SocrateezNutz) May 11, 2018
1. CDC already did an extensive gun violence report for the Obama admin that showed as many as 3 million successful self-defense uses of firearms per year. That's a lot fewer victims than without firearms.

The CDC has already hidden research about guns being used defensively. Next. https://t.co/VkvZUkuIIm

1) Scientific research is already permitted and that was clarified in he April Omnibus signed by POTUS. Partisan research isn't funded.
2) Background checks exist. No UBCs because NO gun registry.
3) already in process
4) won't change anything and no
5) tried, didn't work.

1. Meaningless
2. WTF is a universal background check?
3. Fine
4. Meaningless
5. It did nothing the first time.— Ex-GOP Greg (@Flying59Vette) May 11, 2018
5. There is no such thing as an "assault weapon". They do NOT function like a weapon of war, they ONLY look like them. You really want to ban something for the way it looks?

I’m a researcher of antisocial behavior trajectories in childhood leading to crimes later in life.
I’m fine with violence* research.
I’m not agreeing to a high capacity magazine ban or an “assault weapons” ban.

Hey David, a mass shooting just happened in Australia yesterday killing 7 people. Did gun control stop it? No
— Lemon 🐡🐠 (@mspuffshitposts) May 11, 2018
I’m just gonna leave this here. David should add it to his list.

Why David Hogg’s ideas suck:
1.) None of those ideas would stop a school shooter
2.) The Second Amendment is A Thing
3.) See point #2 again
