U.S.A.–-(Ammoland.com)- Using the National Rifle Association headquarters in Virginia for a background, Democrat California Congressman Eric Swalwell unleashed a rabidly anti-gun scheme portrayed by CBS News as “an extensive gun violence prevention plan” that reads like a gun control wish list.
Swalwell, who has suggested prosecuting gun owners who fail to turn in so-called “assault weapons” if they are banned, announced his proposal at a “big” rally that wasn’t; only about 20 people showed up, and a story in Townhall was headlined, “Only Thing Sadder Than Swalwell’s Gun Control Proposal? His ‘Rally’ Numbers Outside NRA’s Headquarters.”
Swalwell’s sweeping plan, published on his website and announced Monday, includes the following:
- Ban and “buy back” so-called “semi-automatic assault weapons” and prosecute those who don’t comply
- Implement background checks for all gun and ammunition purchases
- Create a federal licensing program for gun owners, requiring them to satisfactorily complete a training program with both written and practical exams, the same way most states do with cars and hunters.
- Require that all people or businesses selling more than 1,000 rounds of ammunition in a 30-day period be federally licensed in a program similar to the Federal Firearms Licensee system.
- Prohibit individuals from hoarding ammunition in quantities exceeding 200 rounds per caliber or gauge.
- Limit ammunition sales for individual purchasers to 200 rounds per 30-day period.
- Repeal the law that prohibits the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives from consolidating and centralizing records relating to the acquisition of firearms maintained by federal firearms licensees.
- Ban and buy back bump stocks, large-capacity magazines that are capable of holding more than 10 rounds of ammunition, and silencers.
- Prohibit states from allowing teachers to be armed on campus.
- Require that liability insurance be purchased before a person can buy, trade, or otherwise receive a firearm, which is what states already require for automobiles.
And these are just the highlights. There is much more to Swalwell’s scheme, including limiting handgun sales to one per month.
He would also “Implement a 48-hour ‘cooling-off period’ for firearm purchases, establish “safe storage standards” and “mandate that all gun owners comply.”
His plan also calls for the resurrection of former-President Barack Obama’s executive action to prevent anyone receiving Social Security checks for mental illness or those “deemed unfit to handle their own financial affairs” from being allowed to purchase firearms.
Swalwell may have picked the wrong place to announce this gun control plan because it essentially validates everything the NRA and other gun rights organizations have been warning about for decades.
Several weeks ago, when he appeared on Fox News with Tucker Carlson, Swalwell was put on the spot to explain his anti-gun agenda. When Carlson challenged his logic about the proposed gun ban being nothing short of confiscation and turning law-abiding citizens into felons, Swalwell tried to dodge around the true implications by arguing that Americans, being law-abiding citizens, would simply comply.
Perhaps the most alarming thing about Swalwell’s sweeping gun control agenda is that none of the other Democrats now running for president has publicly rejected it. All the other Democrats now in the race, nearly two-dozen of them, have their own gun control proposals.
Indeed, not a single Democrat now running to challenge Donald Trump in 2020 has said anything about protecting the Second Amendment if he or she takes office.
Instead, Swalwell’s intentions appear clear cut by a statement on his website that suggests his goal is to discourage citizens from exercising their right to keep and bear arms.
“Ending gun violence,” the statement says, “means investing in more community-oriented police officers than patrol officers. It means investing in hope to prevent people from picking up a gun in the first place.”

Hopefully a debate moderator will ask all of these anti-gun buffoons to explain how they’ll enforce any or all gun control schemes they propose? The answers would be a deer in the headlights look and uncontrollable stammering. The next question should be will you swear to protect and defend the US Constitution and BoR if elected POTUS?
This mindset from the dems is sick!!!! This is why everyone should get out and VOTE . To protect our rights as a FREE AMERICA.
Since the Democrats like to call our guns “Assault Weapons”, let’s begin by calling all Democrats “Assault Democrats”. Because all they want to do is assault our rights.
Swalwell won’t become president…but imagine if he did. Imagine if his agenda somehow made it through Congress and was accepted by the courts. Imagine that the confiscations were about to begin, or had already begun. What would you do?
That’s the acid test for the freedom lover.
All ‘gun control laws’ are un-Constitutional. Article 6, U.S. Constitution “The Constitution…shall be the supreme law of the land”. Therefore, no legislative law, Executive Order or local decree may limit, deny, change or modify the Constitution. THAT is called the ‘Supremacy Clause’. Article 6 continues “All laws must conform to and be made pursuant to the Constitution”. Therefore, any legislative law, Executive Order or local decree not in 100% harmony with the U.S. Constitution, is null & void. Americans could own any firearm of any type they wanted until the 1934 NFA. The U.S. Congress fearing the WW1 veterans they… Read more »
I wonder if their are any Americans who know where he lives? Are their any Americans tracking his wife when she takes her children for their check-ups? Actually there are. There are plenty of cowards but there are also plenty of Americans who know when to do what has to be done and not before…
When will these people understand that the SECOND AMENDMENT
WILL NOT BE INFRINGED UPON.
We will not allow it
How’s the New Zealand buyback doing?
Swalwell would turn law abiding citizens into criminals if we don’t comply with his gun control agenda. Hope he handles rejection well, because he’d meet some serious failure to comply with those Bloomberg anti-gun ideas of his. Swalwell also indicated the government has nukes to make people comply, bet he wishes he didn’t write that now.
SWALWELL IS JUST ANOTHER DEMOCRAT F_ _ _ ING COMMUNIST !!!!!
Swalwell hasn’t got the balls to after anyone. he’s a wussy hiding behind his title of congressman. A stupid one at that.
he appears to be trying hard to get on gunowners shitlist. I wonder why?
Okay I won’t debate cockswollowers ideas, but I’m really getting sick of bs ideas on how to stop gun deaths. Please tell me Mr cockholster of one death that would have been prevented by any of your ” sensible gun control plans” aka violations of my God given 2nd amendment rights. The real problem here is even if these laws would prevent all gun deaths in America. They would still lead us down a road that has all to often led the the mass murder of citizens by their government. I recommend you stick to catching cocks because your useless… Read more »
Now, now, there is no need to get too worked up. Get a length of rope, find a tall tree and hang Swalwell from it. That’s what happens to traitors.
Yes! That sounds correct to me traitor he is!
Sadly, we could not even primary out Emmett Hanger who will most likely vote for it.
Well I’ll be dipped in shit if this plan doesn’t sound like the start of holocaust 2.0
This dude is crazy like Hitler.
Wow, he’s really going to increase gun sales if it’s a mandatory one gun a month 🙂
Looking at his plans, he is anti-america, anti-Constitution and maybe even a socialist agent working to overthrow our government
Right on ! Right on! He will never be President. Can you say attention whore?
Fu¢€ ‘U’ “SWALLOWSWELL”!! & Semper-Fi M’f’er. Have you been downrange?? Come Take’m, u libtard, P.O.S.!!!
Thank you for ur service marine. And Semper-Fi, (DEVILDOG) ‘TET’ 1967-68
Rep. Swallowswell, should remember the law-abiding citizens (subjects) of Lexington and Concord. If he thinks Americans will turn in firearms or be subjected to arbitrary conditions/restrictions to exercise a God-given right, that by the way, was codified in the Bill of Rights, he is a bigger moron than he appears. The shame is he is not the only dummycrat that is pushing this treachery–they all are. If they think the “Resist Movement” that whines and bitches about President Trump is a true resistance, they will be very surprised with the level of resistance if one of those traitors is elected.
This scumbag is a HOMO LOVING MENTAL RETARD.
Eric swalwell is a coward. I’m surprised that he didnt. get his ass kicked in front of the NRA. He is a punk ass bitch, mentally unstable, psychotic, meth user, dipshit, who looks at photos of micheal Bloomberg and masterbates furiously!!
Another jackass speaks
No he wouldn’t have been able to have his ass kicked. HIS ARMED SECURITY would’ve prevented that!
Trump isn’t pro-Second Amendment and leans toward authoritarianism….like North Korea, Russia, Venezuela and every country living under oppression. The government does not want an armed citizenry. Just imaging if they stomp on our right now, what would happen if we can’t defend ourself. I stand with Justin Amash on the Second Amendment… Trump: I like taking guns away early. Take the guns first, go through due process second.” (unconstitutional) Amash: You have a bill or set of bills that basically says to them, “No, you have to depend on government for all of your security, you’re not allowed to personally… Read more »
so you and Amash are both against CCW reciprocity . Doesn’t sound very 2nd A to me………..

“….“an extensive gun violence prevention plan”….” Hey Smellwell, wanna prevent or limit ‘massive’ “gun violence?” Run a NO KNOCK intrusion on my adobe, with the caveat that YOU must be the first one through the door!
Use the RED FLAG LAWS against all of the Demo-Rats and Rhino’s, they are a danger to themselves and to others, isn’t what those laws are designed for? Drop a dime, no paperwork, no warrants, let them prove their capable to make sound decisions and of sound minds?Oh and while they are there, bring up charges of Treason for not upholding the oath they took when sworn in To Protect The Constitution, that they are not doing and remove them from Office!
So many lamp posts, so few politicians…
It should be enough for the voters in Swalwell’s district to see that he is polling at 0% and if the rest of the country thinks he is not right maybe they should take a stronger look at him. There is nothing there in his empty head that could be used in the presidency or the congress. He shoots his mouth off then says he is joking. I don’t think when someone says they are going to nuke some group of people that oppose them should be taken lightly. That is a threat to kill. He is not fit to… Read more »
Smug, Elitist P.O.S..
swallows-well: see if if you can abstain from swallowing-well for 48 hours
Just another arrogant, elitist POS. I’m waiting for him to suggest removing all armed law enforcement from the capitol
“Protection for me, but not for thee” seems to be the motto of Swallow well and the corrupt Finestain creature.
Hope everyone is taking note as to how the oppressionists operate: say something seemingly absurd because it is so far outside of the normal thought process. Then the next one says something even more absurd and they each try to out-idiot the previous idiots. Just when normal people think that things can’t get any further afar from the norm, the “brilliant oppressionsist” takes a position that is way less crazy and everyone goes: “Hey, that position isn’t any where near as nutty as the other guys”. Only problem is that the idiots have shifted the spectrum so far away from… Read more »
Too bad they can’t be rounded up and put away for the rest of their life
Well hold on now……………… if you really think about it, many of these satanic ass eaters have already begun rounding themselves up by living in a far away and out of touch place called California. Apparently, the worlds largest delusional asshole magnet is buried deep somewhere within that state. So it seems to me that if the “normal” true patriotic folks who currently reside there can escape in time before they’ are covered with flying assholes getting sucked in from the rest of the US of A (and those others who will need to be thrown in), we can then… Read more »
Shame on every Gun Owner who votes Democrat.
Oh! You mean like Chief Arizona Hypocrite & Astronaut Mark (Giffords) Kelly, right? And all of his worthless ilk. This asshat went to a gun store in Tucson & bought an AR-15 AND A .45 CALIBER HANDGUN!! Upon just a LITTLE more digging, & it is found that mister hypocrite also owns a…..wait for it…….GLOCK 9mm with a 17 round magazine!!! His 2020 AZ. Special Senate election competitor, Martha (mcCain) McSally who IS a (R), isn’t much better. Again, Arizona spreads it’s own cheeks for political penile insertion. No lube, No reacharound, & No ‘return the favor’ kiss!
“Prohibit individuals from hoarding ammunition in quantities exceeding 200 rounds per caliber or gauge.”
Oh damn. Well then you can come and collect it, one round at a time 😉
Jim, yes, that “hoard” of ammo that probably everyone here has in at least multiple quantities. The guy is a complete ja. How many rounds does that fool believe we use to practice? Obviously he doesn’t want us practicing, much less own firearms. As you stated, he can come by and personally retrieve them. Last I knew, we still had the right to protect our selves and family in our homes from home invaders, aka “unwanted” visitors – he certainly fits that description to a “T”.
All I can say is vote vote vote
Yes, but for whom? Trump? The lesser of two evils? We the people, need leader who can be trusted. Please step forward
I believe Stillwell is a side show. He is the designated fall guy for the Democratic Party. Why else would the media be spending so much time on a guy who is polling at Zero percent? His only real function is to make the other Dem’s look less threatening and more reasonable by comparison. Not to those of us true 2nd amendment supporters who know the real story behind all the Democrat candidates, but to those Democrat party voters who are more moderate in views and less likely to support a candidate who is openly supporting disarming the populace. He… Read more »
JOE BIDEN: Hey, Swalwell, could you act like an idiot while I prep my own campaign launch? I’ve already spoken with AOC and Talib. They’re following the plan perfectly! SWALWELL: Sure, Creepy Joe. Anything to help the cause. Whaddya need me to do? JOE BIDEN: Espouse every idea you can think up to violate the 2A. Then when I step into the fray my support for the most “reasonable” of them will seem…well…reasonable, compared to all the sh*t you talk. SWALWELL: Sounds great! Lemme start with suggesting that we ban every AR in existence! I hate those things. JOE BIDEN:… Read more »
Ban Swalwell. It makes much more sense!
Since he took an oath to uphold the Constitution he will hopefully be tried for treason and hung in the town square! With a little luck I will win the contest for the privilege of throwing the lever!
In New York State, one MUST reg. his AR-!5 . Do you know how many did ? Ans. NOT MANY.
rich z, the last I had read was about 70,000 firearms that were required to be registered were, that compared to the state’s estimate of about 1.5 million that were required to be registered. The state when asked about the compliance rate, and what they planned on doing about it, admitted they don’t know who isn’t in compliance, don’t have any plans to address it, and don’t know what they can do about it.
“ Keep in mind!
“ All that is needed for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing!”
Edmund Burke
Swalwell, like the other dems, try to outdo each other for attention. He, they, spew nonsense, in hopes something, just one thing, sticks to the wall.
Yep, just another feeble attempt to be relevant, all the while wasting taxpayer monies!
His mother should have swallowed or spit it out.He is a example of why communist dems should not be aloud to breed!
That father raping congress critter no doubt signed “The Pledge”, the one Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney told us about ( Google: “Cynthia McKinney and THE PLEDGE ). We all know this is Bloomberg money that is funding gun grabbers like Swill-Well. Bloomberg is a high ranking Capo in the “Incredibly Evil Khazarian Mafia” (Google it and educate yourselves about these murderous, theiving, lying imposters who lie to the world when they say they are descendants of Abraham and therefore Palestine belongs to them ).

Maybe abortion shouldn’t be banned, but instead required for liberals?
The man is an attention whore… Swalwell is polling 0% in Iowa, that’s pretty much says nobody is interested in him. This is an ego driven attempt at being relevant in a sea of other loons who happen to be almost as crazy, but none of them have come out for a nuclear attack on American citizens ( yet, but I expect 3 or 4 of them will by Nov 2020)
Eric Swallows is typical California democratic piece of shit only piled higher. Hopefully the average US citizens can see through the bullshit the California and New York idiots keep spouting out of their shit hole mouths! I do not understand how the ass holes of these two states think they wield so much authority over the rest of this country. I guess sheeple are just willing to follow?
Let’s start with prosecuting elected servants that choose to break their Oath of Office, in the non stop attempts to deprive Law Abiding citizens of their Constitutional Rights. No elected servant has been given the green light to destroy the Bill of Rights. How about that?
I believe that is under article VI, and I agree. It’s time the original intent of the Constitution be followed.
@Everyone…We need to drag them out of bed at 3 am, and sit them down in front of a Military Tribunal to face TREASON CHARGES, and FELONIOUS PERJURY for taking the oath but not intending to live up to it.
Swalwell is the Libtard word for FUCKING MORON in English!
YUP
People like him are exactly why the 2nd Ammendment was written.
This “man?’ is Tyrannical. He shows as an example of the RED COATS of the UK which started the REVOLUTIONARY WAR for America’s FREEDOM!!!!!!!!
Bye the way, THIS IS THE MAN THAT STATED “NUKE THE PEOPLE WHO WILL NOT TURN IN THEIR WEAPONS.”
@LaddyBoy…I wonder if he is thinking about using the nuke material from some of the 350 Pitts that were stolen from the decommissioned Davey Crocket Nuclear Weapons ? They all walked out the back door of Pantex in Amarillo Texas during a 15 to 20 year period prior to 911. Guess who was presidents at the time, and guess where most of it went.
Talk about not in touch with the American people. Does this moron really believe his path to the white house is a strong stance against the 2nd amendment.
This moron cannot think at all.
I think the DNC is using this idiot to gauge support for different ideas. As a matter of fact, I think several in the clown car of DNC Presidental candidates are test dummies.
I thing you’re right with emphasis on dummy.
He’s wrong. Not several, it’s ALL.
Sam Adams-if coordinated small groups of 25-50 can add up. It’s the coordination and communication between groups that is essential to success. And not just a bunch of fat dudes with guns but people with some training and desire to remain free for the betterment of US
That includes Everyone, Right? The Armed Forces, State and Local Police Forces, the Politician’s, and Liberal Lefty’s Privately Hired Bodyguards with these firearms. Otherwise Sir your point is worthless. You are typical Anti-Constitution against the Second Amendment. The Framer’s Warned us of people like you.
Do what I say not what I do….
What a piece of Dem sucking SHIT. Yeah Swalloswell, make sure YOU are the first to step through the doorway to “buy back” those legally bought/owned weapons.
I hope someone stabs him with a spoon. Whatafahkinmoron
