Democratic Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) caused a firestorm on Friday when he suggested using nuclear weapons against American citizens who oppose his far-left gun control agenda, which includes forcing Americans to give up their semi-automatic weapons.
Swalwell made the comment in response to a May news article on his radical plan that was widely recirculated on Twitter on Friday in which he called for a $15 billion government program to confiscate millions of guns from Americans.
So basically @RepSwalwell wants a war. Because that’s what you would get. You’re outta your bleep mind if you think I’ll give up my rights and give the gov all the power. https://t.co/bK1GVyjFej (https://t.co/bK1GVyjFej)

Swalwell responded to the tweet by writing: "And it would be a short war my friend. The government has nukes. Too many of them. But they’re legit. I’m sure if we talked we could find common ground to protect our families and communities."

Well in fairness, it might just be the first time that a duly elected American politician has theorized the use of thermonuclear weapons against one's own citizens in the exercise of their constitutional rights.

Which, in turn makes it clear that we have not yet begun to plumb the depths of leftist asininity. Let the games begin!!! :pop41:

The rats finally found an enemy they will happily use nukes on.
The way they're going lately they will not hesitate to go for the whole magilla should they get the senate and/or the WH next time.

So what you are saying is that now that the Rats are in control of the House I should check the expire dates on my stash of Potassium Iodide?
-
I don't guess Eric will be going door to door himself for this collection?

I thought libs where anti nuke? By the way, Swallow is running. Maybe he’ll team up with the fake Hispanic from Texas and they can be Beatoff/Swallow 2020.

From one of my "favorite" leftists. I guess his hopes for a 2020 run are up in a mushroom cloud.

He got scorched on Twitter for that comment.

OOP Mods please remove posted already.

Guess he won't be running in 2020 after all?
-
So ....is he planning on going door to door for this confiscation? Just wondering how exactly nuking individuals one by one is going to work out. :shrug:
-
I thought libs where anti nuke? By the way, Swallow is running. Maybe he’ll team up with the fake Hispanic from Texas and they can be Beatoff/Swallow 2020.
@goodwithagun
ARRRRRGGGGHHHHH!
I am soooo freaking jealous!
-

I was wondering about that. Do they make little individual-size nukes? Or would he take out a few thousand other people with every nuke dropped on a recalcitrant gun owner? What's a little collateral damage, anyway? Gotta break a few eggs to make an omelet, or something like that.
-
Oh, I hope he runs. If a simple tweet can move him to make a comment that dumb, think how much fun he could be on the campaign trail.
-
Damn, time to "duck and cover" all over again.

Most excellent.
-
The dumbing down of American politics, continues.
-
I wrote to my representative and both senators about his cretin. He should be censured if not expelled for talking about killing Americans who exercise their God-given rights.

That would be violating his First Amendment rights, which has come to mean being able to say anything you want without consequence from anywhere/anyone.

Republic, Wash., considers 'sanctuary city' status to protect Second Amendment rights
By Jessica Chasmar - The Washington Times - Friday, November 16, 2018
The city of Republic in Washington state is mulling legislation that would shield residents from state gun control laws that were approved by voters last week.
Republic Mayor Elbert Koontz said the Republic City Council will begin discussing the idea of becoming a “sanctuary city†to protect residents against Initiative 1639, which goes into effect Jan. 1, The Spokesman-Review reported.
The sweeping gun-control measure includes raising the age limit for buying semi-automatic rifles from 18 to 21 and requiring buyers of those weapons to pass an enhanced background check, show proof of firearms-training and complete a 10-day waiting period before obtaining the weapon.
The National Rifle Association filed a lawsuit Thursday against the state of Washington and Attorney General Bob Ferguson, saying the measure violates both the Washington state and U.S. constitutions.
The idea of protecting the city of Republic from such measures has gained widespread support in the city, Mr. Koontz told The Spokesman-Review.
The mayor started speaking with city leaders after Republic Police Chief Loren Culp announced on Facebook that his department would refuse to enforce the new laws.
“I’ve taken 3 public oaths, one in the US Army and Two as a police officer. All of them included upholding and defending the Constitution of the United States of America,†Chief Culp wrote. “The second amendment says the right........

I LOVE this idea - throw the rats' tactics right back in their face.
I wonder if it's practicable.

Me too, love the idea. We will see. I know this town. Probably like all small towns who have to fight liberal suburban madness. Places where there is little crime because people are good Americans with good values who love their neighbors as their selves.

Silly me. I thought talking about nuking Americans might rank with yelling fire in a crowded theater. :pondering:

Couple this Road Apple with some of their other Totalitarian brain farts:
Democratic 2020 Candidate Wants Government-Sponsored ‘Social Credit’ System Comparable To China’s
https://dailycaller.com/2018/11/17/andrew-yang-2020-social-credit/
and give them all the exposure we can, 2020 may see a whole lot more #walkaway from the Dem voter base.

When evil politicians threaten the safety of American hunters, gun enthusiasts, and self-defenders, we clearly we need common-sense nuke control. No law abiding government needs a 200 megaton assault nuke.

Consider where a lot of that strategic arsenal is located. Consider those States are pretty much good with firearms ownership. Consider who he'd be nuking, and the retaliatory capability of those regions is staggering.
Obviously, Representative numbnuts has not thought this scenario through.

@To-Whose-Benefit?
You have to give the guy credit for not even pretending to be anything other than the communist he is. Most lie about it by using mushy words like "progressive". Sen Brown from Ohio is on Meet the Press right now promoting communism while pretending to be working for America.
Of course the possibility also exists that he is so stupid he doesn't understand what he is promoting.

Not so sure about 'sanctuary cities' for gun rights as ALL cities should be sanctuary cities for gun rights as provided by the 2A!! Lock and load.

They already set off a nuke in Mississippi back in 64. I didn't hear any complaints.
