Democrat Rep. Eric Swalwell has actually required the federal government to utilize nuclear tools on American people that decline to relinquish their weapons.
While advertising the abolishment of the second Change, Swalwell advised gun-owners that “the federal government has nukes” and also would certainly be prepared to utilize them versus “households and also areas” of those that decline to provide up.
Swalwell provided the danger in action to a report that outlined his $15 billion federal government strategy to take numerous weapons from American people forcibly.
So basically @RepSwalwell wants a war. Because that’s what you would get. You’re outta your fucking mind if you think I’ll give up my rights and give the gov all the power. https://t.co/bK1GVyjFej

Swalwell responded to the tweet by warning: “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.”

“You don’t need AR-15s because the government isn’t tyrannical, and, anyway, if you try to stop us taking them we will nuke you” is my favorite of all the gun control talking points.

AR-15s are so dangerous that we must nuke gun owners to confiscate them

You assume that members of our combined forces would follow unconstitutional orders, and take up arms against citizens of the United States. Short war indeed. .cc @DLoesch @KyleKashuv

Personally, I have a bigger problem with an elected official blithely talking about nuking his fellow Americans than my neighbor owning an AR-15. But YMMV. https://t.co/yfiRAeuCn3

I’m stunned there were enough sheep to vote so this guy ended up with a “Rep” in front of his name. The U.S. government is now going to nuke…….get this……..its own people. https://t.co/S0NuyMZD2r

It must not be against @Twitter TOS to casually insinuate that it’s better to give up our guns than die in a thermo-nuclear blast at the hands of the U.S. gov’t.

“If you don’t turn over your guns, we’ll nuke you” is definitely a reasonable argument to make. https://t.co/4YFDxi1CPf

She’s not lying. We should ban assault weapons by buying them back or restricting them to ranges/clubs. #EnoughIsEnough https://t.co/XbRpOvXlF3

Swalwell then argued that if a firearm contains a pistol grip then that makes the weapon even more powerful:
Fair question. Rifles. They’re more powerful and cause more carnage when used with a pistol-grip. See @ScottPelley @60Minutes piece. To reduce semi-auto pistol deaths I’d have universal background checks and mandatory reporting on mental health.
