David Hogg, the prominent anti-gun student from Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, initiated a second boycott earlier this month after his first boycott — against Fox News host Laura Ingraham and her advertisers — went viral and was largely deemed a success.

Hogg announced on April 17 he was initiating a boycott of BlackRock Investment Group and The Vangaurd Group because, as he claimed, the financial companies are “two of the biggest investors in gun manufacturers.”

The tweets received only a fraction of the attention that his tweets initiating the Ingraham boycott received. And it’s apparent the minuscule attention has translated into no noticeable effects for BlackRock and Vanguard.
