"The more I learn, the more I realize how much I don't know."
This kid has the arrogance to think he knows so much, but isn't even close to being smart enough to know how very little he knows about pretty much anything. Especially real world items. All the 'book learning' in the world won't mean shit when you get out into the real world. I suspect, if he lives long enough, that he'll expect preferential treatment once done with school (IF he can even get into college now).
I wouldn't shed a tear if he's found living under a bridge someplace in a few years.
Now I’m even more confused.I’m probably below average.

This quote came from an article I read years ago that measured people's view of their own intelligence. The conclusion was that intelligent people generally underestimate their intelligence where the less intelligent overestimate. Not sure if this kid is just inexperienced or if it's also a little of this.
Not you.Isn't everyone?
The kid is a product of 8 years of the activism. He is not alone. FSA was formed during those years and the stream of young activists will enforce it soon. If you study their twitter accounts and their posts they are going after much bigger targets than some dudes with guns. They want distribution of wealth, they want to rewrite all laws, and they want to confiscate whatever is needed for them to live at $700K, which is their "magic number". Every family will receive that money if we all go after people with money! Old commie idea. They are Bernie's children, except Bernie can't keep up with them anymore. Their ideas are bold, crazy and very doable. This activism was made possible by parents who wanted their kids to have "everything they deserve". Parents purchased phones for them, video games, computers, high speed internet,......So they can become obsolete faster than ever before in the history of this country.
This, absolutely, 100%.
Gun owners and anybody that wants to keep the wealth they've generated need to get their sh*t together, and do so quickly and intelligently. The tactics they're using can be duplicated, but only if we're willing to learn from them. Stuff like this (The Action Strategy Guide - The Ruckus Society) works, but only if you pick an item to work on that doesn't antagonize allies.
Don't fight about abortion, or distribution of wealth, or free healthcare, or anything else when you're trying to make a gun control point. Map out a path to a win, and take the incremental wins along the way without straying into things that confuse message/tactics.

I recall, WAY back in high school, a person of the fairer sex commenting to me that MOST people had an IQ of around 120.
She was serious.
We may decide to ignore Hogg and continue with what we know the best, pretending that we are invisible, but we are a political pinata right now and pretending that we are full of sweet candies will not stop the beating!
I probably have special needs more than I’m gifted.

I've got no problem with Ingraham taking a hit to her career for acting like a grade-A shitheel. Gloating about some kid not getting into a college. How is that a principled stance to take? Conservatives can't seem to engage in discussion in the public without being amoral a**h***s. Luckily, the same conservatives are the only ones defending my gun rights. Drives me to drink.
More like BidenHe sounds like Trump:
You are right but that logic doesn't seem to be working for us right now. People are listening to himA 17 y.o. kid has basically no real life experience.
"They don't know what they don't know"
How anypne would listen or take direction on anything from this group is beyond me.

Maybe to her they did. Was she at least hot?
#fakeapology to all hot chicks during Holy Week
How many companies support 2A? Crickets! This "kid" in few minutes pushed at least 3 major American corporations to pull their advertising just because the kid was offended by truth spoken on the public television. That is something! Try to replicate it!
We will fail because we do not have active critical mass. In such situation you can't do what Trump is doing, telling them to arm teachers, that is not smart and not timely.
The kid has thus far been immune from opposing views. He's a talking head because of the media.
And now it appears anyone who opposes him will get the "Laura Ingram" treatment. It's gotta be someone who doesn't give a damn or has nothing to lose monetarily.
The kid now thinks he's God's gift to our society. But he's not debated anyone for real.
Once his "incident based fame" starts to dwindle he'll either go away, or will need to take a debate to stay relevant. Any solid debater will chew him up and spit him out.
He thinks he's a contender but he's not. He's a wannabe.
He hasn't debated anybody because he can only memorize scripts or read from a teleprompter. He'd be destroyed in a real debate.
