Both Hogg and Gonzalez, who refer to themselves as members of the “mass shooting generation,” say they’ve received death threats in response to their efforts in launching the movement. But they aren’t letting threats deter them from making progress.<\/p>\n
“There’s always been people who are going to want to harm us,” Gonzalez said. “I’m not going to pretend that this like opened my eyes to a cruel and harmful world … When it comes right down to it, we already knew that this world was going to be tough. So getting death threats like that doesn’t really faze us.”<\/p>\n
Asked about the NRA’s response to their movement, Hogg responded: “I think it just goes to prove what exactly they are. I don’t think NRA members are bad people at all. I think they’re responsible gun owners that want to become politically active and make their voices heard in this democracy, and I think that’s an excellent thing.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
There are laws against making threats to people, so I’ll believe there were death threats when I see some arrests. How many times have we been told that we made death threats to people, but it turns out to be nothing but a ploy for sympathy. There was the time I got a restraining order because I knocked on someone’s door in Oregon and ran away, on a date that I was in the White House. I’ll just figure that Hogg and Gonzalez are lying until they get the courts involved.<\/p>\n
One thing about these two children that I’ve noticed. Gonzalez is always wiping tears from her eyes, but there are never any tears. I think we call them crocodile tears.<\/p>\n
I think Hogg is going to end up being a school shooter, because I can imagine Shannon Watts convincing him that act would benefit the Gun Grabbers. He just has that Charles Whitman\/Lee Harvey Oswald look about him, you know, without the Marine Corps training.<\/p>\n
“I think the problem comes in when it’s people at the top of this organization that don’t listen to their constituents and continue to scare people into buying more guns, creating more violence, so they can scare more people and sell more guns,” he continued. “The people at the top of the NRA are no longer working for the people that are in their organization. They’re working on behalf of the gun lobby.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
The NRA has never influenced me to buy a weapon – it’s always the people who are trying to take my guns from me that influences me to buy more guns. People like Bloomberg, Watts, Hogg and Gonzalez. I wouldn’t own half the guns I own if people would stop clutching at pearls over them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
