The National Rifle Association has launched a new social media campaign called the #WearOrange. The goal of the campaign, in a nutshell, is to poke fun of Everytown for Gun Safety's "Wear Orange to End Gun Violence" campaign and remind anti-gunners that hunters have worn bright orange for years.
?? NRA SOCIAL GOING ORANGE: While Everytown for Gun Safety has devoted close to no resources to making citizens safer, the NRA continues to be the world's leading gun safety organization since 1871. ?? Send us pics in your orange hunting and NRA gear to be featured. #wearorange pic.twitter.com/16cE7srlZo

It wasn't long before Parkland survivor David Hogg chimed in...and thanked the NRA.
Hey @NRA thank you for your support of us! We must work together to promote sensible gun laws and behavioral intervention programs if we want to end this epidemic. ???? #WeWearOrange

He then quickly followed it up with a tweet that blasted the gun rights group.
Please follow @NoNRAMoney and help spread the word on which politicians stand up to the @NRA and which ones roll over.

So far 600+ politicians have pledged to reject gun lobby $.
And then he made another demand (or as he calls it, an "ask").
As I now forced NRA member with multiple memberships I ask @DLoesch to please support Universal Background Checks. 80% of us NRA members support universal Background checks, so why don’t you?.

Dana Loesch did not respond to Townhall's request for comment.
