I'm trying to push for common-sense gun reform and mental illness reform so we can make sure that these individuals that have a criminal background that are mentally unstable and have a history of domestic violence are no longer able to get a gun.

David Hogg

A bully is a bully, and it's important that you stand up to them.

David Hogg

I don't think NRA members are bad people at all. I think they're responsible gun owners that want to become politically active and make their voices heard in this democracy.

David Hogg

We will change things if people stand up for what they believe in against injustice and death to save themselves and the future of America - and the world.

I'm trying to push for common-sense gun reform and mental illness reform so we can make sure that these individuals that have a criminal background that are mentally unstable and have a history of domestic violence are no longer able to get a gun.

David Hogg

We simply want gun legislation in this country that allows law-abiding citizens to still own guns or prevents people with a history of mental illness or a history of a criminal background from owning a firearm.

David Hogg

We have to ensure that everybody's voice is heard equally, or nobody's will be.

David Hogg

I think it's important to realize that law enforcement does do a very good job oftentimes of trying to ensure the safety and security of their people. But oftentimes, where they fail is communities of color and in lower socioeconomic status communities where they discriminate against these people.

David Hogg

In the same way we all have a right to bear arms, we all have a right to live.

David Hogg

The youth don't vote lawmakers into office, and as a result, they don't work for them.

David Hogg

My father is a retired FBI agent. I have guns in my house. I'm not against the Second Amendment.

David Hogg

What a lot the media, and especially Fox News, has messed up with me is they've made it seem like I'm trying to take away people's guns - that I'm against the Second Amendment.

David Hogg

We can have all the walkouts we want, but if we don't walk to that ballot box and make our voices heard, these politicians aren't going to listen.

David Hogg

Pretentiousness was probably my substitute for actual confidence.

David Hogg

Research who your politicians are, even; know what they do, know who they're supported by legislatively, and know who is supporting them financially for their campaigns. Because ever since Citizens United, we've seen a massive growth in the amount of campaign contributions and corruption in politics as a result, and that has to change.

David Hogg

It's a midterm year, and it's time to take action. I don't care if you're a Democrat. I don't care if you're a Republican. Stand up for what you believe in.

David Hogg

When politicians say your voice does not matter because the NRA owns them, we say, 'No more.'

David Hogg

When politicians send their thoughts and prayers with no action, we say, 'No more.'

David Hogg

We don't want to repeal the Second Amendment.

David Hogg

When you have all these new police officers and resource officers coming into schools, what I'm worried is going to happen is we're going to increase the school-to-prison pipeline, which disproportionately affects students of color and lower social status.

David Hogg

What we need to create is the NRA - except for the opposite issues.
