That is right, the 2d was directed at the fedgov. States and cities didn’t have to obey and didn’t.

Hey Salwell, ask the Russian’s, who have nukes, why they were unsuccessful in Afghanistan?

This statement is instructive.

For any still believing in peaceful restoration of our constitutional liberty, this demonstrates the tyrant’s willingness to fight to the death to rule over patriots.

Patriotic response would be (as a famous someone said long ago):

“Give me Liberty, or Give me Death”.

The idiot congressman says it will be a short war because the government has nukes.

The conservative responds — so the government will nuke its own citizens to take away guns?

Then the idiot congressman accuses the conservative of being dramatic.

THIS is what we are dealing with.

“The representative sounds like a tyrannical bureaucrat from a Matt Bracken novel.”

And I’m sure Matthew would know how to deal with him, too.

I assume he has rapidly moved up on everyone’s list when the SHTF.

There may be unintended consequences.

"They would nuke flyover country."

Isn't that the part of the country where the food is grown?

What he was really saying was “Don’t call my bluff.” We are supposed to understand that we are to pretend to beleive he would use nukes but also quietly believe that he wouldn’t. See that’s a lib mind. Say one thing and the whine about the other party being dramatic when they are callied out on their nonsense.

[They would nuke flyover country.]

Yes but only if we refused to worship their messiah, who demanded the confiscation of personal weapons.

Just like Adolph Hitler.

That is just insane. But Swalwell messed up and let the mask slip. The Dems must really be afraid of something if they’re that anxious about guns in the hands of the citizenry

What Good Can a Handgun Do Against an Army.....?A timeless classic that, clearly, the good statist Congressman hoped we'd forgotten.

Or, we can ponder another take on this timeless classic, which Congressman Dopey also hopes we forgot, embodied in one of my favorite taglines:

The only purpose of a pistol is to fight yourr way back to the rifle you should never have dropped.

'Instead, he writes, “the right to live is supreme over any other.”'

Except for a woman's "right" to choose to murder their own child, apparently...

This is the kind of threat that gets you banned on Twitter.Unless you happen to be a Democrat.

Swalwell is a very dangerous demagogue. He has the political instincts of an Idi Amin if anyone remembers that murderous pig.

Helet his mouth get ahead of his brain, and now he is trying to walk it back.

Do you have ANY DOUBT that he would follow through on a threat to nuke an American City that refuses to bow before him???
