California representative Eric Swalwell is the latest empty suit to enter the presidential sweepstakes on the democrat side.
He evidently intends to make gun control – or rather, gun confiscation – his Numero Uno campaign agenda issue.
Last year Swalwell wrote: “An assault weapon, then, is a hand-held weapon of war, capable of spraying a crowd with more lethal fire in seconds. We should ban possession of military-style semiautomatic assault weapons, we should buy back such weapons from all who choose to abide by the law, and we should criminally prosecute any who choose to defy it by keeping their weapons. The ban would not apply to law enforcement agencies or shooting clubs.”
It appears obvious that Swalwell’s intent is to confiscate all guns, but assumes it easiest to just begin by outlawing the scariest looking ones. Like all leftists, he knows that once the framework is in place, they’ll be no stopping that inevitability.
Swalwell added, “Our courts haven’t found a constitutional right to have assault weapons, anyway. When the Supreme Court held in 2008 that the Second Amendment protects an individual right to possess a firearm, Justice Antonin Scalia wrote that this right ‘is not a right to keep and carry any weapon whatsoever in any manner whatsoever and for whatever purpose.'”

First he better collect all the bullets...oh wait, he will.
No we should ban libs from owning guns. First of all they are mentally unstable, and secondly if they are so willing to take all weapons away from people, shouldn’t they be the first ones unarmed? Statistically libs commit more murders then conservatives do. Look what makes up prisons and tell be they are the base of the Republican Party.
Who was exempt from Obamacare.. every dem legislator.. iirc there were carve outs for unions, special deals for physicians.

Make it easy and do the right thing for humanity and America.
Ban enemies of the Constitution, both foreign and domestic, from U.S. soil.

I can’t believe any liberal still is surprised that gun owners won’t cooperate, when, every single time, their plans always start with, “First, we’ll make you a felon...”
