[NationalReview] All you needed to know about student activist David Hogg’s speech at the "March for Our Lives" in Washington, D.C., over the weekend was that he affixed a price tag on the microphone to symbolize how much National Rifle Association money Senator Marco Rubio took for the lives of students in Florida.

The stunt wasn’t out of place. Indeed, it perfectly encapsulated the braying spirit of the student gun-control advocacy in the wake of the Parkland, Fla., school shooting.
As Instapundit said once: "In the future everyone will be H*tler - for 15 minutes.". I foresee considerably more than 15 minutes for young David Hogg. In fact, I'm willing to bet, we'll be hearing this name a lot in the years to come.

#1 Our 1st guarantees your right to be a no-notbing idiot and spout-off nonsense. These kids are being played and used as demagogues for the left-wing puppeteers. Do they really want the State to be the only ones who have guns?

#2 Do they really want the State to be the only ones who have guns?

These children suffer from what I call "commissar syndrome." They fully expect to be shot callers in the "state," so of course they have no problem with the "state" having a monopoly on coercive force. As we all know, many useful idiots actually wound up kneeling alongside a ditch alongside the people they expected to be ruling over.

That's why I'll keep my guns, thanks...

#3 And when I say "As we all know," by we I mean people who have actually studied the history of totalitarian states. We of course know that icky stuff is not taught at Parkland or any other gubbamint skool.

#4 Since they don't teach real history anymore, they won't know what happened to the first 'Red Guard'.

#5 They have no understanding or constructive ideas on how to increase school security, and they are willing useful idiots to those leading and financing an alternate agenda.

#6 They want to be on TV. They'd set themselves on fire if told to do it to remain on TV.

Neh, Hogg (a leadership material if I ever seen one) would set somebody else on fire.

#8 Dear Parkland Parents: It’s Time For You To Step In

...
In roughly six weeks, we’ve come to know Parkland students David Hogg, Emma Gonzalez, Cameron Kasky, and to a lesser extent (because mainstream media doesn’t appreciate his pro-2A stance), Kyle Kashuv. These teenagers have been thrust into the media spotlight because youth makes for an ideal poster child. Energy and a fresh face can do much to advance a narrative, regardless of content.

We have seen exactly this in the past few weeks. There is a sense that because one has gone through a crisis, one has the expertise to discuss the issue – almost continually – in the public square.

I have no problem with these kids talking about their experiences and demanding change. I have every problem with the free pass they’ve been given as they label NRA supporting legislators and actual members “kid killers”, among other things. I have a problem with their lack of basic knowledge about guns and gun laws while chiding Second Amendment supporters for possessing weapons and using them in accordance with established law. But I have already written about those frustrations.
...
The parents of these newly-minted anti-gun crusaders only want this to keep going, no matter what it looks like or costs their kids in the future. They don’t care that they’re pushing their kids onto the national stage when they’re not intellectually or emotionally mature enough. They’re political stage moms/dads who want to live vicariously through their activist offspring.

And it is grotesque.
