USA – -(AmmoLand.com)- U.S. Congressman Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) might be gunning to outdo President Barack Obama’s “best gun salesman” title. That’s right. He’s at it again, reminding every law-abiding gun owner and potential voter of what’s truly at stake in the next election.
Rep. Swalwell reiterated his threat of mass gun confiscation this week. He aired this threat on ABC’s “The View,” couching it as a mandatory “buyback” that would strip the more than 16 million modern sporting rifles from legal ownership should he be elected president.
“Ban and buy back every single assault weapon in America. I’m the only candidate calling for that,” Swalwell told the approving panel. He cited shootings, none of which were committed with the rifle he’s set his sights on.
Double Down
This isn’t a slip. Rep. Swalwell is openly embracing disarming American citizens and denying them their constitutional rights.
It’s not the first time he’s made blatantly unconstitutional threats to deny American’s their right to keep and bear arms. He first floated the idea in April, but added the threat of jail for those who would oppose the measure and not “voluntarily” submit to his mass confiscation plan. He offered a caveat, in what could only be surmised as his idea of a concession. He said gun owners could keep modern sporting rifles if they were stored and locked at a hunting club or shooting range.
Other Democratic candidates for the White House have embraced federal gun licensing schemes, compulsory registration and bans on future purchases of modern sporting rifles. U.S. Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.), for example, supports a federal gun ownership licensing plan. Sen. Bernie Sander (I-Vt.) said the United States should follow New Zealand’s lead and embark on gun confiscation.
Rep. Swalwell is just the most honest about his true intentions. His true goal isn’t to prevent the criminal misuse of firearms. This sitting U.S. Congressmen is calling for unilaterally confiscating firearms from law-abiding citizens.
End State: End Second Amendment
Congressman Swalwell is just laying out the true goal. He wants to end the right to keep and bear arms. In his view, after all, the Second Amendment allows for that. He says he doesn’t want to repeal the Second Amendment. He just wants to bend it to his will.
American voters might consider Rep. Swalwell a joke, or his protestations an empty threat. But he’s deadly serious. He was challenged on Twitter about the potential havoc he would cause should he embark on such an unconstitutional endeavor, noting such a move could provoke a violent reaction. In fact, the Second Amendment was written to ensure the citizens could resist a tyrannical government and defend themselves. After all, the Battle at Lexington and Concord occurred because British troops were coming to take the colonists’ firearms. Should the citizenry resist a tyrannical federal government Rep. Swalwell appears to believe it would be appropriate for that government to threaten its citizens with nuclear weapons.
This isn’t leadership. This isn’t in keeping with upholding the Congressman’s oath to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States of America.
It is a clarion call to all voters, not just gun voters. The danger isn’t law-abiding gun owners. It’s politicians who pervert the Constitution to serve their political ambitions and warped vision that citizens serve the government instead of the values of our Founding Fathers that deemed the government is designed to serve its citizens.

Trump is the hand holding America from falling down the well and until Americans begin taking responsibility for USA his grip will continue to slip. Nope, I’m no fan of his gun stuff that has us bent but until USA steps up to the plate down the hole you go. They’ll ban every fucking gun in USA while he sits there waiting for USA to grow some balls and stand up. Until then you’re fucked. I don’t blame Trump I blame USA. Trump will stand with USA when USA gets off it’s ass until then you’re fucked. Let me know… Read more »
… and still nothing, nothing at all about the POTUS comments with Piers Morgan On Guns and Suppressors (sorry Silencers). Sounds like he wants more than just those. That he’s very proud of; bumpstocks and red flag laws. The country is at stake and with it (vice versa) the US Constitution. These are very dangerous times. over. They’ll take them first city-by-city then one-by-one, next then town-by-town. Then it’s ‘Resist or hand them’. They will kill resisters and them for any and all nearby casualties so individuals are no problem. Groups/Orgs will be labeled extremists. They have control of the… Read more »
Correct, it is the entire destruction of USA. A meltdown of everything American but nothing is going on according to many posters here who are entirely outside the loop of real knowledge of what is going down. This goes much farther than those pesky deep state traitors on everybody’s screen. It is global issue and Americans are losing their country while making wise cracks at other Americans trying to point out why this is happening. Trump didn’t tweet, “Americans will not go quietly into the night” because he is going to save USA while Americans sit back and watch their… Read more »
You guys do realize the CIA knew Swellmouth (Jerry’s Kids) would piss us off this much and is why they put him up there right? You can tell Clark (running defense for him) likes him due to the lack of nail driving on Kents behalf which should be an indication. I’m reading my Bible again Clark and it mentions you. Romans 1:29-32 New International Version (NIV) 29 They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, 30 slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful;… Read more »
Swalwell gives me a solid case of the ass. But so do the order sordid, mindless and brain-addled Democrat wanna-be’s. A sorrier lot we have never seen, except for Obama, of course. He set the bar (low, not high) for someone in the Oval office with very bad juju. Now, we have 23 or ? pretty much cut from the same mold (pun intended). And Swalwell has got to be one of the worst examples of an airhead among them.
If this nutcase didn’t have a platoon of armed guards someone would have offed him by now. I really think his biggest problem is ignorance and too much time playing video games.
@Tcat, Ignorance may be his biggest problem, but hunger for power appears to be a close second. I suggest a pickup truck. A 4WD pickup truck big enough to accidentally run over the whole platoon, and him too. Puttin’ my faith in cheap whiskey!
@ Wild Bill, yes that sounds good. I think a 1980 Ford F-250 could do the job. Maybe a sheet of 3/8 lexan bolted to the front just to melt bullets.
When you’re polling at 0% you’ll say anything to get some publicity. He is also ignorant about the issues that the bulk of the population is concerned about, and it ain’t guns.
I give this guy points for honesty. At least he’s starting out honest. When he bothers to tote up the cost of a buy-back such as he proposes he’ll revert to confiscating the private property of citizens as with the bump stock debacle. Also, he’s not much of a tactician when he threatens to use nuclear weapons on any resistance – unless he has a nuclear bomb that can spare the 2nd Amendment hating Demo who lives next door to me.
We have massive amounts of pro gun liberals in Colorado it’s just that they reserve the pro part for them only because they do not like conservatives they want conservatives disarmed and they like to be regulated. They are privileged/entitled scum but don’t worry because when the shooting breaks out it will be them shooting each other so just stand back out of the way. Police here are patrolling the liberals not the conservatives so what does this tell you. I got pulled over in a liberal neighborhood because they call cops on non liberals here for no reason and… Read more »

Swellmouth says give him your guns.
“….buy back every single assault weapon….” Give me a price tag for each ‘assault weapon’ I have. In addition to ANY firearm I might have, I have a drawer full of knives, some pretty long ones that should bring a good price, you know, butter knives, carving knives, et. al.! I even have some ‘heavy hitters’ that would be nasty in some ‘assault;’ small to large hatchets, axes, one very pointy pick, other stuff that ‘looks’ pretty much as deadly as anything the vikings used! Just curious why the ‘gubment’ would want all this ‘used’ gear, as the only things… Read more »
Eric is and idiot.. buy back… how much are you going give me for a black rifle with a pistol grip and has a 30 round mag.. 700$800$ more? You don’t have enough money.. all the city with major gun violence are ran by the liberal Democratic Party .. Democrats bring fear with out reason . Liberal gun free zone is where all the shootings take place..
How do you “BUY BACK” something you NEVER OWNED?
Question. How many NRA members have been involved in these mass shootings that they want to stop?
Same way they take a right they did not grant.
I would like these people to answer one question ? Why they’re not attacking the problem ? Any one with some common sense knows a gun or high capacity magazine is not the problem it the person behind it. And the last i checked they don’t pay any of my bills or put food on my family’s table i did by working 10 to 12 hours a day . So who do they think they are to try to take something from me ? Sorry. can you image what could be done if the money spent on both sides was… Read more »
As Thomas Jefferson said “The tree of liberty must, from time to time, be watered with the blood of tyrants and martyrs for that is the natural manure upon which a free republic grows.” And is Salwell is not a tyrant I do not know who is one. SIC SEMPER TYRANIS!!!
Eric is a weasel. Forcing California commie gun rules on the rest of us.
To all readers of the comments section I want to remind you that we are all(?) gun owners and advocates, here we comment and name call and carry on like uneducated fools. Don’t jump to defend the MANY intelligent responders because look around to see the stupid replies from MANY MORE commentators . So many are ‘butt hurt’ and strike out at shadows ,none of the people that want to disarm us are reading here. They ARE watching TV shows like the view and have no other source of input. Here we are’ preaching to the choir’ and share a… Read more »
It certainly goes without saying that many commentors here are passionate about their point of view. Certainly many in the choir have done as you suggest and write or email their legislators over issues such as WA’s 1639 or OR’s SB 978. I did. As a confessed Ammoland addict, l come here to seek information, to find inspiration, to stay engaged, and often find humor l can appreciate. But in posting here, have also had sand kicked in my face and have posted a few jabs myself. I just don’t dwell on it. I hope you find my comment acceptable… Read more »
What a buffoon, someone on his staff should remind him that gun buybacks are a failure.
Perhaps they can remind him he didn’t give the right to bear arms and he wont be taking it away.
I’d love to punch this weak piece of shit in the face. Thankfully, he’s the only person in America that would vote for him.
So how many infantry divisions does Congressman Swalwell have?
And every one of them have armed security. Nuff-said!.
Shame on any Gun Owner who votes Democrat.
A vote for Swalwell is a vote for a second U.S. Civil War. Fortunately, he’s polling at 0%.
1776 Civil War 2.0 Part 2 coming when they attack with large scale widespread violence trying to boot Trump from 2nd term.
Eric Swallows is a useless piece of shit. How in the hell can one state produce so many mental retards. California is a shit hole country in itself. All these democrats and Hollywood stars trying to tell the rest of the country how to do things, but will not lift a finger to clean up their own cesspool of a state. Eric Swallows and Linda Lovelace had something in common, they both sucked.
Is why I say to build a wall along Cali border with a mote on the outside filled with raw sewage and a mote on the inside filled with radioactive waste sludge. Lol. Funny thing about Cali is that it was this bad 35 years ago but suddenly people have just noticed.
eric swalwell and his gay lover cory booker are pieces of crap. Both are turds. Swalwell and booker are mentally unstable, hysterical, psychotic, meth addicts, who masterbate to photos of Micheal Bloomberg! Who in the hell in their right mind would vote for such evil, deranged madmen such as these two butt lickers? Ypu notice the gun banning demon-craps no longer talk about crime or street gangs or drug dealers but spend all their time talking about banning firearms from law abiding American citizens! Once they ban and confiscate all your guns, then they will institute their socialists “New World… Read more »
Correctamundo, Keep cranking it up and you’re likely to be issued the Clark Kent award of leftist disapproval and denial and around here we call that “over the target”. Remember Hitler was partnered with Islam and there were Islamic Nazi’s identical to what we have right now in USA. Open source info confirms this complete with pictures as well as the Pope was involved with the Nazis and the Bush crime family. All open source info of which Clark Kent hates.
Who the hell watches that TV witches’ coven anyway, and if they do, they have mush for brains.
Swalwell, and others of like mind, have yet to specifically state how any of their restrictions, or even confiscation, will keep firearms out of the hands of criminals, yes criminals who care less about such restrictions or confiscations?
NFW Swallowswell…. If you are actually stupid enough, which it seems you are, to try this….. PLEASE be the first person at my door…
yeah.. i’m going to take political advise from a washed up ” comedian” (who was never funny in the first place..J.B.) and a washed up b-list actress whose biggest role to date was a guest spot on Star Trek !!. Best part is Swalwell talking about other groups taking “dirty money” !!!
Trump needs to step up and put in 50 state reciprocity carry for all states just like he said he was going to do DAY 1 if elected ! Well he got elected so step up and go even further and go 50 state constitutional carry!
Trump? The same guy who banned bump stocks? The same guy who said “…first take the gun(s),then due process. The same guy who is now talking about a suppressor ban?
exactly — J-Kush will never let that happen
Spot on DGF. Trump is no friend to the 2nd Amendment..or he seems lost on the subject. We can only hope he listens to his sons. I think he speaks before thinking to often. But even the bumpstock ban (a joke) is the wrong move. Someone really needs to educate him on suppressors……not the NRA for sure.
So now that one deranged idiot used a 45 with a suppressor in a murder rampage, Trump is suggesting a ban on the hardest of all firearm accessories to obtain legally. Did that read right? Can’t wait to see how the NRA weighs in on this one. Anybody see photo evidence of the alleged murder weapon or are we being fed fake news?
NRA will be on board to ban it.
They fully support gun control.
Hold compliance class’s even.
Bootlickers love that shit. Can’t get enough of it and those decals lure them in well. Lifetime members of bootlickers club.
Loooooool.
Bad news for the buy back morons. I personally built all of my ar15s and they are NOT for sale. Try buying the other cucks guns , it’s a no go here. If they want to take them by force, better pack a lunch.

They’re even over on you tube videos getting fired for going to peoples house and jacking off at the front door. Call them at your own risk.
Then why don’t YOU become a police officer and show us all how it SHOULD be done? Put up or shut up.
Clark. Because most of us have IQs that are far to high! They don’t want independent thinkers in the Gestapo. They want creatures who will blindly follow orders and degrade and humiliate citizens, and think that everyone is the enemy and guilty of something.

Around here they drive right past the drug dealing house to go bother law abiding citizens and attempt to enforce unconstitutional laws they dream up on the drive over. Every person in this development knows you can buy meth 3 houses down. Know we know where it comes from. The cops.
Just think of how funny this Swellmouth retard (Jerry’s Kid’s) would be with Slobbering Joe Kennedy as his Vice President.

Jerry’s Kids gun control agenda is based entirely upon illusion and deception. Is why Nancy openly denies to examine and consider facts saying facts have no bearing on their agenda and are not considered. Facts are (besides Americans) their worst nightmare.
Folks,
SwallowAll IS NOT the problem. The problem are all those communists who have supported him with votes and money and publicity (i.e. the media).
The time is ever approaching where the Tree of Liberty needs watering.
BTW….do not forget….our southern border is under enemy attack. Supported and encouraged by 535 + 9 Quislings. Who in turn are supported in their treason by the communists of the media and our fellow citizens.

You can only have your Firearms taken. One of two ways. You can give them up willingly or pried from your cold dead fingers. The former only requires You Kneel and Allow Your Rights to be Taken. The later requires only that You be a Patriot and Fight for something Larger than Yourself. Many have died so that We can enjoy the Right We Have. Anyone not willing to fight for those Rights. Doesn’t deserve to have them. Keep Your Powder Dry.
Swalwell just rocketed himself to the top of the hard core confiscation crowd. Oorah
Trump says carry your gun regardless of the Beast system gun control/confiscation agenda that you need your gun to protect yourselves.
https://dailycaller.com/2019/06/05/trump-piers-morgan-gun-sitting-ducks/
Swellmouth is Jerry’s Kids pushing Muslim Beast system gun control/confiscation that GOD’s chosen cannot obey because GOD has commanded us not to in His wrath to destroy the Beast. Sorry but nice try were under orders from above.
Sorry, but you are obviously under orders from whatever lava bubbles inside your skull. Seek professional mental health treatment.
He is only pushing for his own demise. This is the twit whom threatened the use of nukes against Americans.
Correct, as stated in the Bible they run to their own destruction because GOD has commanded them to do so.
Yes… despite Swallwell’s later attempts to deny it (he claims that it was “a joke”), that cuckoo-clock was dead serious when he first said that nukes would stop the civil war quickly.
His nukes are just past my front yard so he will have to nuke the military to get me. I don’t doubt he would attempt it. He’d have to shoot it straight up then bring right back down on the silo and I’m not sure if that has ever been tested to see if it’s possible.
@JoeUS, Shallowwell must knot know that National Command Authority is not within the legislative branch. He must not know that nuclear weapons detonated in a civil war would occur within the United States. Finally, he must not be aware that every survivor in the country would be after his scalp. How much of a threat can this not non thinker be?
Hey, Swallowdude, the rebel army is forming up inside the belt way at noon tomorrow!
