For the record, its not just conservatives who didnt get Swalwells alleged sarcasm. Heres Olivier Knox, head of the White House Correspondents Association:

Of course not.
But he’ll hide behind that and be given plenty of protection.
Exactly....
This dumbass has obviously been talking with others about this Final Solution.
FU Slutwell, you just got caught. Your lil comment qualifies you running for “president” for Idiots of America, not the country..
Nuke California. It would prevent forest fires.
No, it wasn’t.
It’s typical bully tactics that when they are caught and exposed, they retort with *I was just joking!* *You guys are no fun, you can’t take a joke.* and then make the people they threatened be the bad guy for standing up to them.
I dont care - hes a traitor to the constitution and has called for the theft and inprisonment of legal citizens of the United States.
He needs to resign IMMEDIATELY
That was a threat and he should be arrested for domestic terrorist threatening with weapons of mass destruction.
But POTUS can’t joke.
Swallowell, another undereducated moron who talked his way into a position of political power. Did I say talked...?
No it wasn’t sarcasm.
He meant the BATF would slaughter anyone who objected to having their U. S. Constitutional rights eliminated.
What a swell guy.
There should be a clause in the Constitution itself covering guys like this. They should be deemed unfit for office and run out of Washington, D. C. on a rail.
You need three bullets when they come. #1 the guy at the door. #2 the guy running off of the porch. #3 the guy backing away, up the driveway.
Then they drone your azz. Game over.
I tell a friend of mine this every time we go to breakfast. It makes me smile and pisses him off. I wish it wasnt where I see this all going.
His remarks numbered 1 and 3 reinforce what an obnoxious douche this guy is.
NO, you are not buying back my firearm, it was never yours. And as to the 18th century comment, firearms were the tool to fight tyranny- and clearly they’re still needed.
This is how you start a civil war.
You can’t take the congressmans thermo-nukes till you pry his cold, dead, irradiated fingers off the nuclear trigger
Ole Eric can deploy exactly zero nukes. So theoretically one citizen with any firearm would win, even if it isnt the 18th century.
One election away.
As was the fact that Perez,the DNC Chairman,recently let it slip that there are no more "moderates" left in the Rat Party.
Isn’t he an Iowegian? My cousins up in Iowa are a bunch of flagburning babykillers.
Yes, the US has nuclear weapons. It had them in the mid 1970s, too, but still lost the Vietnam War. It has had them ever since it invaded Afghanistan, but is not winning. The nuclear-armed Soviet Union didn’t win there, either. Speaking of which, the Soviet nuclear arsenal was irrelevant when it collapsed of its own farcical pretensions to omniscience and omnipotence. The same fate awaits the self defense denialists.
