Gun control activists are working hard with the Parkland shooting victims with the goal of increasing gun control. Now Lauren Hogg, a Parkland Student, creates gun control arm bands. Her and her brother David are two of the most visible student activists.
Lauren stepped to the forefront and became the center of the gun control debate when she created custom armbands for gun control advocates can wear as a sign of their support of more gun control. She labeled them "Armbands for Change."
Patriot James Woods got a hold of this of this and drew a comparison to Nazi Germany.
You might have a little trouble getting Jewish Americans to embrace this look. Do you have some shiny jackboots and brown shirts to go with it? Guessing maybe you skipped history class while you were shilling for the @DNC... pic.twitter.com/WfA4jL9y65

Check out some more reactions from Twitter:
"Wear an arm band so you can be identified as a member of the party in good standing."
Hmm, where have I heard that before?
Even when ignorant of history, progressives have a natural inclination to repeat themselves. #Caring pic.twitter.com/dNsPZmptfk— Derek Hunter (@derekahunter) March 10, 2018

Where has the world seen this before?
1. Wears armband to identify as a member of the party in good standing
2. Advocates for radical gun control
3. Demonizes millions of people as enemies of the state
4. Spreads lies & propaganda
5. Is a youth being used by a political party https://t.co/qxgYR2kb1M— Ryan Saavedra 🇺🇸 (@RealSaavedra) March 11, 2018
It didn't take long for her to realize what a disaster these armbands were. She took to Twitter to apologize after deleting the tweet.
I am so sorry if I offended anyone with my former tweet, I had no intention of bringing any bad connotation to what we are trying to do which is using our past as in the Tinker vs Des Moine case to create a better future for us all.

David Frum took to Twitter to defend the armbands.
Except this guy, who wore a black armband to mourn the casualties of Pearl Harbor pic.twitter.com/BoLkJkr2xK

But it worked, as Twitter mobbing so often does. Lauren Hogg apologized to those offended - probably none of whom had any personal connection to the victims of Nazism; probably all of whom were gun advocates who heard nothing amiss in LaPierre's foghorn message.

Whether it was a bad idea or not. Goodbye to the "Armbands for Change."
