Dem Congressman Threatens to "Nuke" Gun Owners In Civil War Scenario

[Reptile]

Eric Swalwell calls for confiscation of semi-auto rifles and threatens to nuke those who resist

California Democrat Rep. Eric Swalwell made waves on Twitter Friday when he suggested the government would use nukes on citizens if a civil war broke out in America.

Newsmax TV host John Cardillo tweeted in response to an article discussing Swalwell’s proposal to ban semiautomatic rifles, saying, “Make no mistake, Democrats want to eradicate the Second Amendment, ban and seize all guns, and have all power rest with the state.”

So.... Everyone dead, because someone somewhere with a gun might do something bad with it?

Dems are psychopaths.

Eric Swallowswell, gun grabbing nazi

Well, looks like someone just unscrewed Hoggs’ sippy cup. Black Friday is next week.

In all seriousness, this guy is an idiot and should know better with the voice he has. He’s part of the body that can try to influence stupid shit like he’s written. Talking nukes, even in jest, is never a laughing matter when you’re in control.

 

[StevieP]

Aaaaand he'd be the first to get sniped in his 'civil war'.

 

[mothybee]

Swallowwell has a nice smile....wonder how he got it.

Not the same. I remember when this happened. Reagan had a long, well-established habit of joking during sound-checks. These were NEVER intended for airplay, and this was back in the day when "not intended for airplay" was generally understood and respected. (Not in that case, obviously.)

With Twitter, etc. - ESPECIALLY Twitter - the understanding is whatever you put out there is UNIVERSALLY available, IMMEDIATELY and IRRETRIEVABLY. That is the reason I resisted getting a Twitter account as long as I did, and even now, do not keep myself logged into it.

 

[StevieP]

The comments on Twitter on this are going viral. He's getting beaten down soundly. But there are a lot of pro assault weapon ban idiots on there too who need to be schooled.

 

[Nikos]

This guy should be locked up in a rubber room!! Talk about being a threat to himself and others!!!!

And it would be a short war my friend. The government has nukes. Too many of them. But they’re legit. I’m sure if we talked we could find common ground to protect our families and communities.

There is no common ground on my rights. They are mine and not open for debate.

Democratic congressman: Force gun owners to get rid of assault weapons

Oops, he made the original statement in May, not March.

WASHINGTON — A Democratic congressman has proposed outlawing “military-style semiautomatic assault weapons” and forcing existing owners to sell their weapons or face prosecution, a major departure from prior gun control proposals that typically exempt existing firearms.

In a USA Today op-ed entitled “Ban assault weapons, buy them back, go after resisters,” Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., argued Thursday that prior proposals to ban assault weapons “would leave millions of assault weapons in our communities for decades to come.”

Swalwell proposes that the government should offer up to $1,000 for every weapon covered by a new ban, estimating that it would take $15 billion to buy back roughly 15 million weapons — and “criminally prosecute any who choose to defy [the buyback] by keeping their weapons.”

Therefore, it is no mere (keyboard) "slip of the tongue." And, as I pointed out already, qualitatively different from Reagan's standard off-mic joking circa 1984.

The Reagan incident DOES illustrate, quite clearly, the perils, however, of trusting the media, especially of the Left.

He was last seen on tv when someone threw him on the football field when buffalo watched the pats play ball.

Rep. Eric Swalwell Thinks Gun Confiscation Will Work Out Fine Because Government Has Nukes

 

[Waher]

I'm waiting for the Maoist wing of the DNC to just flat out state that they would be happy to nuke or send us all to camps over the 2A because they don't think open declarations like that will hurt them politically.

 

[Shark_Cage]

“It’s the only way to be sure”

 

[Horrible]

This guy is a moron, at the very best, and has no business being in a position of power. Anyone that voted for this asshat should be embarrassed to show their face in public.

 

[frenchman]

What's this civil war talk about again? The dems keep threatening us with a good time, don't they?

^ congressman right there

Not to mention, joking about nuking Soviet Russia is different than joking about nuking Americans.

 

[Squire]

He is precisely the reason 2A protects my right to own nukes.
