David Hogg, who is a survivor of the Parkland, Florida shooting massacre at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School on February 14th, continues his activism against gun violence and the NRA. This past weekend, Hogg tweeted some progress for the common sense gun law cause—via NRA’s reported financial troubles.
“The NRA admitted in a recent court filing that it’s hurting financially thanks to activism by the teenage survivors of the Parkland school massacre.
Clearly the young people are winning.” —David Hogg, August 2, 2018
xYou and your Parkland classmates are heros! You all give me hope for this country! Anyone who feels we don’t have to change anything and therefore have innocent people being slaughtered continuously is out of their mind!
— B-Magic 💪🌸 (@Brasilmagic) August 3, 2018 xThank you to the Parkland students for leading on such a difficult issue. You have many people's support.
— Defiantly Blue (@defiantlyblue1) August 2, 2018 xI salute Emma but fear that NRAs financial troubles might make it harder for gun lobby to buy into Senator Rubio's agenda like last time when they bought into his agenda for $3m and if he doesn't get re-elected we won't be able to receive his lovely daily tweets from Scripture.

The NRA was also trolled by twitter offering “thoughts and prayers.” Huffington Post collected a good number of tweets including those by celebrities like comedian/talk show host Chelsea Handler.
xThoughts and prayers to the NRA who is saying they’re in a deep financial crisis and may be unable to exist. Maybe they could ask some of the Republicans they donated millions to for a loan: Richard Burr - $7MRoy Blunt - $4MCory Gardner - $3M Marco Rubio - $3M
— Chelsea Handler (@chelseahandler) August 3, 2018Cheers to all who stand up for common sense gun laws and against the NRA, the reportedly corrupt organization indirectly responsible for thousands and thousands of innocent lives.
