Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) announced his presidential bid on Monday night and in less than 48 hours has named seven gun controls he will push during his campaign.
A few of those controls have been previously mentioned and/or pursued by Swalwell, while the rest of them were presented during an April 9, 2019, town hall in Parkland, Florida.
(Excerpt) Read more at breitbart.com ...
1. Licensing of Gun Owners – During his town hall Swalwell made clear that he would support a federal licensing plan similar to that in Illinois or Massachusetts. This means would-be gun owners would have to acquire a license from the federal government before being able to exercise their Second Amendment right to own a firearm for self-defense.
2. Requiring Gun Owners to Carry Insurance – Swalwell also voiced support for having gun owners carry insurance. This idea has been pushed numerous times by Democrats, who suggest gun owners ought to be forced to get insurance to help off-set the cost of criminal use of firearms.
3. Creation of a Federal Database of Gun Owners – This was another gun control discussed by Swalwell during his town hall. He dismissed concerns that a database will lead to confiscation, saying, ““I just don’t buy that there’s going to be any national round-up of guns. No one is saying, ‘Round up the guns.’” He claimed that fear of a government-sponsored firearm round-up is “illogical.”
4. Criminalizaton of Private Gun Sales (via Universal Background Checks) – This has been one of the longer-running controls in Swalwell’s overall gun control push. He pushes the leftist talking points that background checks save lives, make us safer, etc. All the while he ignores the fact that nearly every mass shooter in the last decade acquired his guns via a background check.
5. An “Assault Weapons” Ban – Swalwell wants to ban what he describes as “15 million ‘assault weapons.'” He not only wants to ban their future sale but prohibition current possession of them as well.
6. Mandatory Buyback of Banned “Assault Weapons” – He wants to implement a mandatory buyback of banned “assault weapons,” wherein Americans would hand them over or face criminal prosecution.
7. Implement Australian-Style Gun Control – Swalwell told Esquire magazine that the U.S. needs to do as Australia and New Zealand have done regarding gun control. He said, “Do what Australia did, do what New Zealand did. They’ve shown us—Australia in the 90s, New Zealand just this week—that courage in doing the right thing can protect people.”
He has no chance to become POTUS. None.
So this Swallowell assclown is determined to start a civil war.
Somehow I get the idea that if Swalwell’s ancestors were here during the Revolution, they were the local Tories.
Guess they kept their heads low and managed to stick around.
another anti-American enemy type agent...
damn it but...
we need to get copies of the US Constitution and
inject same directly down
these idiot-commie-Nazi-basturds’
windpipes
or up some other orifice of same individuals
Good thing Mr. Eric Nobody-ever-heard-of-you does not have a snowballs chance.
.
No
This Stalinist idiot is a menace.
Requiring Gun Owners to Carry Insurance
= = =
Does this mean ‘must issue’ CCW policy?
They left this one out:
8. Launching nuclear weapons against American citizens exercising their 2nd Amendment Rights.
Somehow I get the idea that if Swalwell’s ancestors were here............they would want to beat his ass just like the rest of us do.
Hey Swallowswell, FOAD.
Sure he does.
He’s would carry the dead, the illegal, the felonious, and the fraudulent constituencies with a huge margin.
And these days, that might be enough to win.
He’s DOA long before arrival at the first debate.
They hid in the barn’s loft during those several years.
“Creation of a Federal Database of Gun Owners.”
Registration of firearms is always followed by confiscation and then genocide.
I get the feeling that If the Redcoats had broken into this guy’s house and ravaged his wife he’d politely admonish
What’s he going to do if we don’t comply? Nuke us?
Every Democrat wants this or worse. Smallweed is just off script by blurting out his intentions, even if he is lying about “a national round-up of guns”. He knows exactly where all this leads.
