So say eric swawell (D-fourth reich) that the government cannot trust citizens with firearms.

This. Coming from a state that wants to completely disarm its citizens while allowing illegal aliens from mexico/central america to rampage throughout their state with impunity.

They have no idea what they’re asking for the law of unintended consequences will be most unkind.

"Instead," he continues, "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."

There aren't enough of you to ever enforce such a ban and I don't think there are very many Americans who would pick up a shovel to put you in the ground

Why do people want a civil war?

I don't know or heard of any such group. "want??"
Well, D'UH!

he classifies an assault weapon as a firearm that is capable of "spraying a crowd" with "lethal fire in seconds."

Finally, a law against all koranimals!

Weapon... check.
Fire... check.
"Fire" arm?... check.
Spraying crowd with lethal fire in seconds? Check.

Suicide vests qualify, I am sure.

How about a rotating barrel/firing attachment for a battery-operated hand drill? :-)

Dream on. There are over 5 million AR-15s in circulation not even counting all the other semiautomatic rifles out there. The AR-15 is THE most popular rifle in America. Any notions of banning it now are a pipe dream.

Just another Dem Ken Doll, getting elected simply on looks. And boy, they could have chosen better on looks anyway. Reminds me of ‘Beto’ O’Roarke, the guy running for Ted Cruz Senate seat.....not too bright but just another Dem Ken Doll. I think that’s the only thing that matters to those choosing the runners on the other side, as the Pennsylvania Ken Doll narrowly won a few months ago.
