Hogg says Second Amendment 'intentionally
misinterpreted' to protect individual rights
Gun control activists have claimed that the Second
Amendment does not protect private gun ownership
Turley: The Supreme Court's Second Amendment ruling is 'momentous'
Fox News contributor Jonathan Turley explains
the Supreme Court's ruling in favor of gun owners.
By Lindsay Kornick. Feb 20, 2023
Gun control activist David Hogg revived a previously debunked Second Amendment claim that the Founding Fathers never intended it to protect an individual's right to own a gun.
Hogg wrote a Twitter thread on Sunday insisting that historians and law professors have informed him that the law was "intentionally misinterpreted" away from its intention to "protect state militias."
"After reading about the history of the second amend and talking with a lot of hist & law professors- I believe the second amendment has been intentionally misinterpreted. It was never meant as an individual right it was created to protect state militias like the national guard," Hogg tweeted.

He continued, "It says well regulated militia for a reason. The 'shall not be infringed' part means the federal government is not allowed to forcibly disarm state militias. I'm not alone in this interpretation. Over 100 years of jurisprudence back me up on this."
He added, "To those who don't agree that's fine- you are entitled to your own opinion and I'm still ready to work with you on what we can agree on. Disagreement and hatred are not the same thing."
In a later tweet, Hogg also wrote, "Our unregulated militia prevented us from insuring domestic tranquility and promoting the general welfare of our children and citizens. This has prevented us from securing Blessings of Liberty the founders set out to protect in writing our constitution."

David Hogg continues in his mission to try and prove that the 2A is not protecting an individual right and doesn't seem to 'get it' regarding the innate right to self defense for the individual - assuming like so many, that banning guns equates to some laudable utopian crime-free society.
