Democrat Congressman Wants To Confiscate Your Guns


Representative Eric Swalwell, (D-CA) was on Tucker Carlson's show last night. He told Tucker several months ago that if he got positive evidence of collusion between the Trump campaign and the Russians he would return to the show and present the evidence. Well, apparently he called Tucker and said he had the evidence... except he didn't.

Swalwell spent about 10 minutes repeating all of the Democrat talking points about Russian collusion. He had no new evidence nor even any he could use to prove collusion between the campaign and the Russians. He cited Trump's “invitation” to the Russians to hack Hillary's emails as positive proof. (Trump joked about it during a campaign speech in 2015.) And he cited the infamous meeting between Don Junior and the Russian attorney. Proof, Congressman? Really?

Following that segment Tucker asked him about something that has far more serious implications for Americans than the Russian witch hunt.

It seems Congressman Swalwell recently wrote an Op-Ed in which he proposed that the government ban “assault style” rifles, initiate a buy back program to get as many as possible and then prosecute and jail anyone who doesn't comply and take their guns.

Carlson mentioned gun confiscation and the Congressman said that's not what it was. “It would be following the law,” he said. Really, Congressman? So a law that allows the government to take someone's guns away and prosecute them for having them isn't confiscation?

Confiscation: the action of taking or seizing someone's property with authority.

I'm not a college graduate nor a lawyer like Congressman Swalwell but I'm intelligent enough to understand that what he is proposing is exactly that – gun confiscation. Use your doublespeak and spin all you want, Congressman, but even though you suggest a buy back, what you're proposing is gun confiscation, plain and simple.

Tucker asked if the Congressman was worried about starting a civil war by enforcing a gun confiscation law. The Congressman repeated the Democrat mantra over and over... “It's about the children.” So Congressman Swalwell believes that a possible civil war in the United States is less of a concern than another possible school shooting, which is bound to happen anyway given the lack of moral behavior, the decline of Christian values, and the lack of proper upbringing at home in this country.

Tucker disappointed me a little because he didn't point out to the Congressman that the most recent school shooting was not committed with an AR-15 and didn't ask if Swalwell intended to confiscate handguns and shotguns as well. But the fact that Swalwell is willing to risk civil war to accomplish his goal of gun confiscation says a lot.

My question is – how do so many ignorant politicians keep getting elected and re-elected in California?
