David Hogg needs to come to understand that just because some people he went to school with were shot, he’s not an expert on anything relating to guns, gun control, the Second Amendment, or anything else. Tragic as Parkland was, it didn’t mystically convey wisdom to either him or any of his cohorts.
At least former fellow-traveler Cameron Kasky figured that out.
Hogg, however, hasn’t.
In a video, he commented that he believes gun control should have been addressed centuries ago.
Townhall‘s Katie Pavlich gave the perfect response to that.

Pavlich mimics a Paveway smart bomb by lowering the boom on Hogg’s pretentions of moral superiority on the issue of guns. More importantly, her point is 100 percent correct.
The Founding Fathers didn’t want gun control. They wanted unfettered access to military-grade arms, if not better. Remember that the British were shooting smoothbore muskets during the Revolution while many colonists were armed with rifled weapons. They were all muzzleloaders, but the colonists’ weapons had superior range. Civilian weapons were generally better than the military’s arms.
Our founders liked that. They knew that a government with the ability to restrict arms would soon use that ability to restrict other civil rights.
Pavlich clearly understands this.
