Dude Rep. Swalwell is absolutely drunk with power and is making a complete @$$ of himself on his twitter.
First check this out:
She’s not lying. We should ban assault weapons by buying them back or restricting them to ranges/clubs. #EnoughIsEnough https://t.co/XbRpOvXlF3

Bad enough. But then he really loses it. He went on to respond to this admittedly combative tweet:
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

But wow his response was way out of proportion:
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.
— Rep. Eric Swalwell (@RepSwalwell) November 16, 2018
Like seriously. What the hell are you thinking? This is just insane.
So our government would nuke its own country in order to take guns? Wow
— Joe Biggs (@Rambobiggs) November 16, 2018
Clearly, he was exaggerating, but why this idiot dem taking the bait?! Now he’s backtracking like heck:
Don’t be so dramatic. No one is nuking anyone or threatening that. I’m telling you this is not the 18th Century. The argument that you would go to war with your government if an assault weapons ban was in place is ludicrous and inflames the gun debate. Which is what you want. https://t.co/oX0rY7Nbs1

At the worst, he’s making the blindly stupid argument all liberals make about the government owning nukes, so no one could ever challenge their authority. I mean, if you really believe that, aren’t you basically saying you will give in to any fascist totalitarian government?
America’s gun debate in one thread.

1) I propose a buy-back of assault weapons
2) Gun owner says he’ll go to war with USA if that happens
3) I sarcastically point out USA isn’t losing to his assault weapon (it’s not the 18th Century)
4) I’m called a tyrant
5) 0 progress
Eric, I get that your use of "nukes" was sarcasm, and, yep, twitter doesn't do nuance.

But understand how many of us gun clinging Americans recoil at the word "confiscation" and will do whatever we have to do to defend our guns against a government that would take them. Thanks https://t.co/GDDsm0gt0U
Taking on the gun trolls to protect kids from being slaughtered in class sometimes feels like Moana taking on these guys. *WARNING: My frame of reference for next 10 years will be @Disney movies. pic.twitter.com/NMQ3xxXNmy

What a stupid witless fool. And utterly clueless about what confiscation would really mean. Exactly what you’d expect from dumb@$$ liberals.
