Hogg believes the efforts of gun control advocates in getting scores of laws passed since 2018 have stopped some mass shootings. But he acknowledges they have still increased – some 600 just last year.
. Speaking to the crowd, Hogg said,"When politicians send their 'thoughts and prayers,' with no action, we say, 'No more!'"
As one of the leaders of the movement, Hogg was praised, and reviled. And there were death threats."Yes. Many, many, many, many," he said. "It said, 'F*** with the NRA and you'll be DOA,'" said Hogg."This person lived, like, 20 minutes away from us. We used the law that we created after Parkland to disarm that individual. And because of the law that we passed, it very may well have stopped me from having to bury my own mother. And that same law has been used over 6,000 times since Parkland.
