Meet the OTHER David Hogg; He’s 16, Already in College and Has a Message for the Anti-Gun Club
As Parkland student activist David Hogg runs laps with his media appearances touting gun control and attacking the Second Amendment, it seems his fame has had a direct effect on another student.
The mass shooting at his Florida high school in February catapulted Hogg to his new-found fame and increasing Twitter followers – now at over 720K – but also affected another David Hogg who decided to leave Twitter for a time . . .
But the social media attention on the Parkland Hogg became too much for the [conservative, pro-gun] 16-year-old who suspended his Twitter account after things got too overwhelming for him and his family. He announced his return last week, clarifying that he was not to be confused with the other Hogg.
I'm back on twitter. Tired of the harassment towards my family. I am THAT David Hogg. I am a proud to be an American. 16, in college, I respect the Constitution/2nd Amendment! I'm a hard worker saving for a car & to further my college education. I am not @davidhogg111.

Hogg’s mother echoed her son’s statement in a tweet of her own, calling out the irony of the Parkland student decrying bullying while engaging in the very act himself. Hogg launched a boycott against Fox News host Laura Ingraham after she tweeted that he “whined” about not getting accepted into some colleges . . .
Ironic @davidhogg111 that you think others are bullying u. MY David Hogg, 16, ALREADY in college, PRO 2nd Amendment is getting harassed because of mistaken identity. You can't be on every news channel & get upset if someone disagrees with your agenda. A good debate has TWO sides. pic.twitter.com/MTabkmumWj

“I do not think we should ban law-abiding citizens from buying guns because that will increase problems,” he said in the video, also calling for a “more regulated background check” and a national policy on gun ownership instead of state-by-state laws.
