(Molly Bruns, Headline USA) Activist David Hogg was removed from a House Judiciary Committee hearing on guns after he started yelling at lawmakers.
According to RedState, Hogg has become known as a vocal advocate for gun control after the Stoneman Douglas High School shooting, where he was a student.
“Guess what? Those guns are coming from the United States of America. They aren’t coming from Mexico. They are not coming from Mexico. You are reiterating the points of a mass shooter, sir,” Hogg said at one point. “Sir, you are perpetuating violence.”

“The guns in Parkland, Buffalo, El Paso, didn’t come from Mexico. They came from the US, and the shooters were inspired by racist, anti-black, anti-immigrant manifestos that rhyme with GOP talking points,” Hogg tweeted, along with a clip of him being tossed out of the hearing.
