In the wake of Sunday's mass shooting that killed at least three people at the Gilroy Garlic Festival in California, anti-gun activist David Hogg has ignited a war of words on Twitter over the need for more gun control, and many Americans are ferociously firing back.

"I'm tired," Hogg tweeted early Monday morning. "I'm tired of tweeting out # [insert city name here] strong every week. I'm tired of moments of silence, thoughts and prayers as people continue to die every day. I'm tired of having a government so divided they can't come together to save lives or our future."

I'm tired

I'm tired of tweeting out # [insert city name here] strong every week.

I'm tired of moments of silence, thoughts and prayers as people continue to die every day.

I’m tired of having a government so divided they can’t come together to save lives or our future.

Hogg is a survivor of the Valentine's Day massacre at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, that left 17 students and staff dead, and he has since become one of the most vocal U.S. proponents of more stringent gun laws.

While his tweet has more than 65,000 likes, there are many comments from gun-loving Americans who are pouncing on Hogg. Some of them include:

• Grow Up. I'm 55. Evil Exists. Always has. Always Will. Glad that Americans weren't too tired to go over to Normandy and take care of business.

• I think many in Twitter world would agree with me on this. To use your words. We are tired of you and your tantrums.

• I'm tired of people posing as gun safety experts pushing for deadly "feel good" gun laws that only make the public more vulnerable. And then when they don't work and more people are murdered they are shocked and try it all over again expecting different results. #insanity

• I'm tired of having to protect my God-given natural right to defend myself, family, and property from idiots who've been conditioned, and brainwash like you, and your audience. Instead of protesting why we need to have our rights taken away do some learning on the 2nd Amendment.

• California has passed everything on your gun law wish list.

• If you notice a pattern, it is usually "gun free zones" this shooting was stopped when the "good guy" with a gun arrived.

• The government can't save your life, or anyone else's. Quit trying to give them power. Only you can save yourself. Carry. Push for constitutional carry. #protectyourself

There were also comments of support for Hogg, including:

• You'll get no chance at justice David until the Democrats control all three branches of government.

• The Democrat House has sent 400 bills to Senate leader McConnell #MoscowMitch #MoscowMitchMcConnell to die at his feet.

• You're too young to have to be doing what you do and feeling how you feel. Our government keeps feeding this monster. It's despicable.

• They want you to be tired David. They want you to be so tired that you give up and go silent. And, when the last person speaking out, raising awareness goes silent then, they've won.

The gunman at the Gilroy Garlic Festival has been identified as Santino William Legan, a 19-year-old who was killed by police within minutes of opening fire.
