Can't make this crap up.
Democrat Calls For Gun Confiscation, Suggests Nuking Americans Who Fight BackDemocratic Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) caused a firestorm on Friday when he suggested using nuclear weapons against American citizens who oppose his far-left gun control agenda, which includes forcing Americans to give up their semi-automatic weapons.
Swalwell made the comment in response to a May news article on his radical plan that was widely recirculated on Twitter on Friday in which he called for a $15 billion government program to confiscate millions of guns from Americans.
Swalwell responded to the tweet by writing: "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."

If people don't wake up, all in power will share his same views.

I think he was obviously using a lot of hyperbole. I really don't think he meant nuking America was an option. He's still an idiot, though. On the other hand, now that he's said the "C" word it's gonna be hard for him to argue in the future that all he wants are "common sense" gun laws. He'll still try it, but no rational person will believe him.
It's too bad that more minorities aren't vocal about having their rights removed by elitist whites as that is exactly what's happening and that move tends to squash stuff pretty quickly in the current political environment.

Just a wild guess, but my bet is that this clown is a rep for the west/coastal area.

How does a kid born in Iowa go this far off the rails? The liberal mindset must be a contagion of some sort. Maybe we can find a way to get rid of it.

My crystal ball predicts a short political career for this man.
We shouldn't doubt for a moment that using nukes against his countrymen is the final solution Rep. Stalwell envisions to disarm the commoners. Whether he could find cohorts in the military to carry it out during a protracted guerilla war one can only speculate. Look at how Nicholas Maduro has wiped out his opposition, secured the military and ravaged Venezuela to enrich himself. But Stalwell will find that his flippant comment puts him in the crosshairs of patriots across the spectrum and he'll have to raise a lot of money to continue his political career.
Guys a jackass but he didn't advocate nuking anyone. Seems like the standard "how much is your AR going to do against the government if they decide they want to crush you" argument, just poorly phrased.

I wouldn't bet on it. He's a grandstander and plays to his constituents. Likely will run for democrat presidential nomination in the near future.

Whether he was using hyperbole or actually would consider using nukes against U.S. citizens is irrelevant. The fact that he vocally/verbally calls for the use of force against citizens to remove their property in violation of their rights is alarming. The irony is that this mindset is exactly why the 2nd exists in the first place.
While many of you believe that this position will garner him a short political career, I must disagree. The tide is turning hard left and those on the left will stop at nothing to see their goals accomplished. Colorado, for instance, didn't turn "blue" simply due to transplants from CA. More and more of those indoctrinated into leftist views are coming into voting age and those of us with more rational & logical views have failed to re-educate them. More and more adults, from young adults to retirees, are adopting the liberal free-shit-society/"the government should take care of our needs" mentality. The ranks of the left will continue to grow while the right will dwindle. Those with conservative views will soon be a smaller and smaller percentage of the populace. WE will be the pariah's of society with no political clout. Sounds defeatist and full of doom? Yes, but look at how quickly things have changed and in which direction. I think the momentum is in their favor and only bad things are on the horizon for this nation. There are just too many who'd exchange their liberties for a (false) sense of security.

They're not even trying to hide their hatred for America anymore, just about every other day it seems like there is some leftist a position of government authority who recommends or advocates for violence against the American people.

For a politician to even muse about nuking American citizens crosses the line into sedition and he should be removed from office.
Why can?t these guys/gals get cancer and die already? Clintons, Soros, Pilosi, Schumer, etc...
Doesn't matter because there's an entire generation of Betos and Ocasio-Cortezes waiting to take their place.
For a politician to even muse about nuking American citizens crosses the line into sedition and he should be removed from office.
Agreed. Unacceptable.

The only trouble with that is roughly half the population agrees with his line of thinking and doesn't see anything wrong with it.

Hard to estimate how many seriously want the other side "nuked", there's certainly some of them. But I think you're right insofar as "mostly-joking" is concerned, and it's on both sides of the isle. How many conservatives joke about San Fransisco getting nuked or California falling into the ocean (killing all the liberals)? It's hard to measure how serious any of the "jokes" are to an individual, except when they start holding Molotov cocktails and/or taking apart hundreds of smoke detectors. I think in truth though, perhaps only 5-10% legitimately want mass casualties on the other side, but that's still a scary figure.
I know I didn't make it clear but I was referring to the "confiscation" part. I think most people that vote for progressives wouldn't have a problem with that in theory.

Some good points, but also a few poor suppositions.
The end result I agree with. The .gov will do EVERYTHING they can to avoid a civil war. They will try and stick to Waco, Ruby Ridge, etc events where they can kill their opposition and control the narrative.
Another (D) talking out his ass. He doesn't think he'll be on the front line. LOL The front line will move to his doorstep and that'll be all she wrote for him.

^^ This.
The fact that Maxine Waters gets re-elected year after year, that Nancy Pelosi will once again be Speaker of the House, that Sinema even garnered a statistically significant amount of the vote in AZ (much less that she won) should tell you that nothing is a disqualifier as far as Leftists are concerned. The more extremist he is (or sounds) against non-liberals (yes, moderates, that means YOU), the better as far as they are concerned.
If America was being rational and looked at facts and prior history, the Democrats should have gotten crushed this past election and Obama should never have been elected in the first place. The Leftists are actively destroying the education system as such, turning it into a Maoist or Stalinist indoctrination system and no one dares say "boo".

Skimmed through it, but it's another bubba opinion about the gubbament, invented statistics and the works. If I wanted expert opinions on the topic as opposed to reading that, I could have also asked for opinions from the 40-50% of the bubba "gubbament's gunna kick down the door" people coming into our store back when it was open. Or the "obama gunna ban all duh guns" people. Same difference.
Liberals are not idiots. I posted a rundown of what ACTUALLY would happen here long ago, and it's far more on point. Nobody (save for isolated examples, e.g. red flags) is going to kick down your door.
If they succeed in a "ban" all they need is voluntary turn-ins, coupled with educational indoctrination. OOops, looks like they are halfway there. You'll stop shooting, as you'll fear prosecution if anyone sees them or hears you talking about them. Guns off the streets, buried in your basement or whatever. Next generation without adequate exposure to them and indoctrinated in school. And your kids will turn them in when you croak. Badda bing, badda boom, they don't risk any threat to their power. The analysis I posted was more in depth and covered why each of the wet dream of a bubba-gunp is pure fallacy, and will not come to pass [including uprisings, etc.] and even those who think themselves "patriots" will end up... *gasp* complying.
All it takes is time and teaching that the government grants rights and bestows permissions.

What Do You Do When Someone Threatens To Murder You?
Democrat Eric Swalwell, Congressman from California, has suggested nuking Americans who refuse gun confiscation.
Swalwell made the comment in response to a May news article on his radical plan that was widely recirculated on Twitter on Friday in which he called for a $15 billion government program to confiscate millions of guns from Americans.
So basically @RepSwalwell wants a war. Because that?s what you would get. You?re outta your ****ing mind if you think I?ll give up my rights and give the gov all the power. https://t.co/bK1GVyjFej
? Joe Biggs (@Rambobiggs) November 16, 2018
Swalwell responded to the tweet by writing: "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."
Well now.
We have a Congressman who has stated that if you don't kowtow to a blatantly unconstitutional position he has taken he supports using nuclear weapons on US soil to kill you.
Oh by the way, what he wants is to confiscate all semi-automatic firearms.
I will remind Mr. Swalwell that the Second Amendment makes any such "law" void and of no force and effect and thus not only does no citizen have a duty to follow such a law they have every right to resist through whatever means are necessary.
I might also note that a threat to use weapons of mass destruction, specifically nuclear weapons, on US soil to obtain a political result is about as serious as a threat gets and thus calls into question exactly what is the appropriate means of preventing any such threat from being realized? Oh, and why is this not an act of domestic terrorism and why is not this ****head under indictment for same?
There is exactly one legitimate means by which such a law -- banning and confiscating guns -- can be passed: Repeal the Second Amendment first. Suggesting or promoting any other path is not only illegitimate it is a direct violation of his oath of office in which he swore to uphold the Constitution.
Never mind that were the Second Amendment to actually be repealed we would be right back to where we were in 1776 with the exact same expected result -- but our putative "government" would be the ones wearing the red coats. Why? Because the right of self-defense, including defense against a tyrannical government, precedes government itself. So says the Declaration of Independence which is a statement of rights that all persons have by virtue of humanity, not by "grant of privilege."
May I remind you that it was in fact the British attempting to confiscate firearms and ammunition at Concord that caused the shooting to start?
Further, anyone who believes this guy was trying to be "funny" has rocks in his head. He was saying exactly what he believes and thinks; he is neither the first nor will he be the last gun banner who has made the mistake of saying exactly what they intend to do with anyone who refuses their unconstitutional jackbooted bull****: Attempt to murder said person(s) using the full force of the state.
I will further remind Mr. Swalwell that making such a statement, beyond the fact that it is a direct violation of his oath of office, is the height of stupidity. Anyone hearing such a threat and potentially subject to the results of same, since Mr. Swalwell is in fact a member of the body that could carry such a threat out and thus said threat is credible, is entirely within their rights to take him at his word and believe that it is in fact his intent to carry that threat out.
Let me quote something else to Mr. Swalwell:
"But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security."
Should Mr. Swalwell (or anyone else in the government) decide to actually attempt what he claims to support I state in reply that the people of this nation have every right and in fact duty to pull out that old crusty document in its entirety and make him and everyone else who bands together with him eat it.
You have to be mentally defective to even suggests going down the road that Mr. Swalwell has proposed.
