2020 presidential candidate Eric Swalwell: Ban and buy back every single assault weapon in America’
Evil Assault Rifle
Eric “Nuke ‘Em” Swalwell is back, and he’s decided his hill to die on for the 2020 Presidential campaign is an all-out assault weapon ban and buy-back. As in, “Every single assault weapon in America.” Failure to comply would be a crime.
Swalwell said on ABC’s “Good Morning America,” in April, “you know, I’m telling folks, keep your rifles or shotguns keep your pistols. We just want the most dangerous weapons on the hands the most dangerous people and most gun owners believe that.”
Dammed decent of you, Eric. He mentions the 10 people killed and over 50 wounded by gunfire in Chicago last weekend. He’s an expert on the situation; he spent an entire day there, visiting with local community activists including Tamar Manasseh* to discuss gun violence. How many assault weapons were used in these crimes? All of the ones used to assault people violently, I suppose.
His solution? Throw more money down the drain.
“Swalwell called for investing in high-quality schools, jobs and health care.”
So other than his draconian and unworkable attack on the Second Amendment rights of honest citizens, he’s just another third rate Democrat from California who hasn’t had an original idea in his life.
Molon labe, Eric.
Various sources.
*Tamar Manasseh created Chicago’s “Mothers Against Senseless Killings.” She seems to be making a difference and I wish her well.

All those people killed were killed by weapons OTHER THAN ASSAULT GUNS.
If he weren’t so ignorant of just about everything, ti wouldn’t be such a joke.
Folks like him, and those that support folks like him, ignore the fact that laws against murder have been in existence long before firearms.
Either he honestly believes in the “gun control to save lives” narrative (thus is a useful idiot), or he doesn’t care about the “life-saving aspect” of it. If it’s the later, then he’d be with those who hold the real reason for gun control… Control of an unarmed population.
I’ll take Door #2 – doesn’t care. It’s all rhetoric with him. He’s a bigot and a cowhearted crackpot who is only in politics for himself.
That’s what our argument opposition thinks about us – don’t care and all rhetoric. On the bit about nuclear weapons, rhetoric. It also shows his control issues, something I see is a commonality on the left. On the bit about disarming Americans of certain weapons, he’s dead serious. Just as Cortez is dead serious about her green new deal. To them, this is gospel, and would lead to the results they claim it would lead to.
Unfortunately, the movers and shakers behind the Democratic Party want control. Their argument against the Electoral College, and against private weapon ownership, is connected to this objective. Remove the power from the people and give it to the government.
… To them, we’re the ones that have been helplessly fooled by a snake oil salesman. I’ve seen one commenter on facebook express her being disheartened by this, and another call us a disgrace.
From their perspective, their emotions are cold hard empirical fact.
Ignorant Douchnozzle.
Ignorant douchenozzle that can’t manage his personal finances:

I seriously doubt he would be riding along with whichever police he could find to serve warrants on those suspected of not surrendering their weapons. Outside of the obvious progressive communist strongholds, I’m not sure enough cops could be convinced to actually enforce it. Sure wouldn’t happen here in Texas. My fellow troopers and I would sometimes discuss it. I don’t remember anyone ever saying they would be a part of it.
Unfortunately, I’m worried his championing a asinine idea like a salt weapon ban/buy back may find it’s way into the debate among who ever becomes the front runners after his campaign withers and dies. I can’t wait to see what shit show platform the Dems may be forced to adopt as part of their run for the White House. I can see them having to promise this, 100% college dept forgiveness, reparations, Medicare for all, open borders, and universal basic income.
Think I normally see estimates of 25-30,000,000 so-called ‘assault weapons’ in current circulation. What’s his plan, to nuke any places which balk at turning their toys in? That’s what he said before…
I suspect that high pitch whine you hear in Arlington is JFK hitting high RPMs over what his Democrat party has turned into.
With a great platform like this it’s hard to believe he’s only polling around 1 percent. Assbag.
He should be like Madonna and offer blowjobs for support.
“Buy Back” implies that the government owned them to begin with.
And I’d like to see him as the first guy through the door when it comes time to take the first gun away from the first citizen who refused to give up his “assault weapon”.
I think he’d be the only one; I don’t know any cops who would want to try it. Most of them are in favor of private citizens owning and carrying guns.
Take heart, Mark Lauer. Some states are joining Illinois in the sanctuary county/state stuff. They don’t want him and people like him dictating the terms of their citizens’ existence, any more than you and I do.
Having given this much thought Congressman, the guy you need to be worried about, is the one with the .270 Winchester 400 yards away. If you want to buy mine it will only cost 1.5 million.
My Liberty is not for sale.
My firearms have never assaulted anyone. Matter of fact, I’ve never seen a weapon assault anyone or anything. Have seen individuals assault other persons/things with a weapon.
More and more of these “useful idiots” showing up every year.
Eternal Vigilance!
None of my weapons did either, then that horrible day rolled around and we had that disastrous boating accident, and they were all lost overboard. I still get choked up thinking about it.
It was so bad that I’ve blanked out where it happened.
Mine were lost while PCSing several years ago. I made a police report in a small, two officer town, but I understand the paperwork was lost. Terrible shame.
These turds don’t care one whit about ‘ass’ault weapons. Their plan is to control the populace by removing all firearms owned by civilians.
I wonder how the LEO population would come down on this issue? I don’t believe a majority would sign on to the gun grab.
DITTO with mine when I had them in a wagon when I lost them all in some quicksand. I got out and away but all of my poor firearms and the wagon were swallowed by that merciless muck…
So far I’ve read his name as “Eric Swallow Well” every time.
Who?
Friend of mine was teaching a coed 7th-12th grade Sunday School class last Sunday, about 12-14 students.
Before the lesson started, a conversation about guns came up. He asked them how many of them owned or had shot guns.
Every hand went up.
Gotta love Texas. As for this Eric(a) Swalwell twerp – she can wet her pants thinking of the Texas kids with their guns, and what they’d do to her is she tried to take their guns.
Look at how Red State America elected President Trump and we see just how it will give snotspined chihuahua shits like Eric Swallwell a huge middle finger!
The term “assault weapon” is not defined anywhere.
Therefore, anything in the entire world, including the plunger for the toilet, can be used as an assault weapon. I’ll be more than happy to turn my toilet plunger over to him, up close and personal, right after I clean out the worst clog I can come up with. 🙂
And I mean that with enormous sincerity.
The correct term “assault rifle” has a definite military definition. It is a select-fire (fully automatic) rifle with a detachable magazine. The idea was that it would be used while moving forward in an infantry assault and fired in the full auto mode. The AK-47 is a modified version of the Wehrmacht’s Sturmgewehr, the first “assault rifle.”
Yes, BUT — swallowswell uses the term “assault WEAPON”. He makes zero reference to a rifle, ergo, my statement is accurate.
Not your fault or mine that he’s an idiot who can’t even gin up sound and fury.
“Assault Weapon” is a BS term created by the yellow-bellied snowflake-promoting click-sucking media. No where is it truly defined.
Oops, sorry for adjective magdump!
SwallowsWell is a world class sucker of cock and an enemy of the people an the Constitution. Too bad he isn’t interested in the tens of thousands of homeless druggies and mental cases living and shitting on the streets in his district of the SanFransicko.
Maybe if we get lucky, he’ll pick up typhus from the flea-bearing rodents running around on the streets of Ellay and Sanfrack.
If I stab him with a spoon, it becomes an assault weapon. So, I’d be happy to sell the thousand spoons I’ll buy to sell to the gummint for “gun” prices every week or day. whatever the limit will be.
Aren’t assault rifles the ones that has the black thing that goes up the side of it, and shoots 30 round clips in 1 second?
(sarc)
Don’t forget the chainsaw bayonet.
“The Lancer”
Fuck yeah.
And comes with grenade launchers that shoot grenades you can buy at your local Walmart…..
These anti gunners are so incredibly stupid, I will give you an example.
I write a gun blog over on a biker website and was conversing via messages with an anti gunner.
She was a 50+ year old woman that had put her ex in prison for fifteen years for beating her within an inch of her life.
He was about to get released and she was terrified about him coming back and killing her after his release.
I asked her if she had a firearm to which she replied, “Oh no, I could never get a gun”.
I asked, “Why Not”???
She said that they scare her too much.
I told her to go to a local range, check out the CCW laws and classes and take a woman’s self defense course with a firearm and she could at least protect herself against him.
She maintained that she was too afraid of guns and would never be able to do that….
I tried for about a week to explain how they work and how self defense works etc…….
She maintained that she could never do it and that nobody but the cops and military should have one…
I never found out what happened to her but she vanished from our site a couple months later.
Once they get the big bang bang scary guns thing in their minds.
Sounds to me like that was sound advice you gave her.
I’m sorta curious what became of her – why she vanished all of a sudden.
(Perhaps she got skeered of having a firearms discussion with you and ran off)
Don’t forget the rocket launcher and flamethrower attachments…
Has anyone besides me considered that dried peas and beans, which are about the size of buckshot, can be used as assault weapons?
kitty litter…….I have some to sell back
Is that new or used kitty litter?
Only asking because my cats leave hard ammo behind when they’re done.
You could likely put an eye out with some of those peas and a sling shot.
When peashooters are outlawed, only outlaws will have peashooters…
You can have my peashooter when you pry it from my cold, dead fingers…
Swallowswell…
“…keep your rifles or shotguns keep your pistols…”
Right. Typical leftard bait and switch. Kinda like, “…you can keep your doctor…”
I think that is what the pols always tell their sheeple until it is time to outlaw the pistols, then they outlaw your rifles, and finally they come for your shotguns, cuz the idea is for the sheeple to be disarmed. Then they are much easier to control, since their popo, militia, etc. are all armed. When the only thing you have to take to a gunfight is a knife or a club, you are in a world of hurt.
In some locales where the popo have held them, one could attach a length of pipe to a old surplus stock and collect 50 to 100 bucks for it.
Swallow-well shows up at about the 33 sec mark… the dweeb in the blue sweater
Confiscate and reimburse, he means…
Some people just need to be beaten, battered and left laying on a pool of their own blood and feces because they are too fucking stupid to be allowed out in public.
For $50k I could part with one of my AR15 lowers. Let’s make a deal, Eric. 😂
When Americans resist this shithead’s tyranny he better be the first one stacked coming through the door.
