Dem gun-confiscator tacitly admits gun control wouldn't work

One of the more despicable Congress-critters is Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.), a man with utter contempt for Truth. He was on Tucker Carlson Tonight last evening pushing for confiscation of AR-type rifles and spinning like a dervish with rocket boosters. But let's forget that while Swalwell wrote an op-ed calling for gun confiscation, it's not really confiscation, according to Swalwell. Let's forget that what he labels "assault weapons" are just semi-automatic rifles that happen to have a military-style appearance (much like putting a Porsche body on a Yugo chassis). Let's forget that he claimed that his AR-species confiscation plan would "keep kids safe," ignoring that the most recent shooting, in Santa Fe, was perpetrated with a .38 pistol and a shotgun. Most significant is that, amid his pseudo-Machiavellian babbling, he contradicted himself and refuted his own argument.

Senator from dumbassistan seems to have swallowedwell some "dope-amine". Hey, as long as we do SOMETHING, that's what counts. Not that it will accomplish anything. And he'll be re(s)elected no doubt.

Every soldier, gendarme, paramilitary and police officer on Earth, if somehow magically transported here and under expert leadership, could not, in a scheme lasting 1,000 years, confiscate 10% of the guns in our households. Meanwhile, their widows, orphans and mourners would pile up like a termite infestation and their blood would run like rivers. See my tagline. Field Marshal/Admiral Yamamoto knew what he was talking about.

I feel the same way. It’s never going to happen.
If only the gun grabbing leftist nut jobs would redirect their energy into actually solving problems, we might get somewhere.

You do not have the right to confiscate my gun, Eric.

You are my public servant.

I am your master.

Not the other way around.

Rep. Nutswell babbles, dodges and weaves like a fool everytime he visits Tucker’s show.

the leaves of grass would have to be a good deal wider nowadays to conceal today’s rather rotund riflemen..

This reminds me of Prohibition (1920) and how things were going to be ‘’fixed’. It took less than a week to prove that alcohol would still flow and people would just overlook the law.

Law enforcement would be the first group to have a special waiver and retain all of their personal weapons.

“Senator from dumbassistan seems to have swallowedwell some “dope-amine”.”

He’s not a senator here in CA, We have two useless b!tches in those seats. He’s a Congressman from Alameda County. He “picked up the reins” of the former complete a$$hole who had the seat for decades, Fortney (Pete) Stark. Stark used to use profane language on constituents to his “call-in” town meetings when they disagreed with his positions. Swalwell is no match for Stark though, he’s just plain stupid with a big mouth he puts in gear while forgetting to engage his brain, or what passes for it.

Yeah, I got carried away. But maybe he slept at a Holday Inn X-press last night. My apologies to the actual senators from Cali. Well, maybe not.

That may be, but I learned to shoot well because I can't run fast... ;-)

In the 1980’s when I topped 300lbs I was sometimes the biggest person in a store. Now, half the women, much less the men, are bigger than I am.

he is just pandering to his base. He knows a bill like the one proposed won't pass and can't be enforced.

"...pick five homes at random..."


The vast majority of Americans would simply “hand them over” if firearms are somehow legislated to be illegal.
Conservatives have families, they own businesses, they have great jobs, kids in college, nice homes, mortgages. Things they wish to keep.
In other words, Conservatives are very predictable and have good reasons to live. That is why we must retain control of all branches.

Or you could set up a remote weapon station with your rifle and have even less for the grass to conceal.

Think about the implications of that.
