Democrat presidential hopeful Eric Swalwell told CNN background checks would make us “all safe in America.” Swalwell said he went shooting with two veterans and Shannon Watts, the founder of Michael Bloomberg-funded Moms Demand Action.
He said, “What I found when we had veterans and NRA members and a mom who cares about gun violence, was there wasn’t much that we disagreed on.” He added, “And 72 percent of NRA members who have been polled said that they wanted background checks too.”
Swalwell did not provide the name of company that allegedly “polled” NRA members nor did he name the year in which the poll allegedly occurred. Rather, he said Americans need a president who will “ride that momentum so that we are all safe in America.”

Safe from out of control government?
starting with background checks on just what kind of insane anti-American garbage is allowed to run for office????
Well, they worked for all of the last few mass murders with firearms.
Yeah, no they didn’t.
Moron.
But walking across our border without any checks is no problem!
Never mind, that is a silly question, these are guns we are talking about and liberals we are dealing with. >:(
Human civilization has always had its psychologically disturbed, but this era is unique in that we tolerate them dictating what we should do.
You have a magically-discovered right to kill babies, I have a Constitutional right to keep and bear arms that’s written in blood. Can’t have it both ways leftists.
Americans would be safer if we were rid of commies, sounds like a plan
Im thinking this idiot is a cyborg, just look at that photo
I always thought he looked like a serial killer ...like he’d be in a straight-to-cable remake of American Psycho.
When revolutions happen,the revolutionaries go for the tyrannical ruling class. Types like this guy will get the rope rather quickly.
Universal background checks is backdoor registration.
That almost always leads to confiscation.
The only people made safe by disarming the citizens are corrupt politicians with designs for tyranny.
We need freedom; liberty.
Opting for ‘safety’ is what got us the TSA, DHS, police state,...
Yeah, except when it comes to illegal aliens.
They don’t need no stinking background checks!
Hat tip to the movie, “Badges? We don’t need no stinking badges!”
“And 72 percent of NRA members who have been polled said that they wanted background checks too.”
Not when you explain what “universal background” checks really mean.
What would make us safer would be common sense regulations on who could run for office, along with a required test of Constitutional knowledge and a complete background and financial check with all results to be made public.
Remember when Obama got caught running guns to the Mexican Cartel and his answer was, we need to close the gun-show loophole...
Rather have a Swell wall.
What would make American safer would be to have Swallwell and his ilk dumped 20 miles offshore in concrete overshoes. Enough of them and you’d get an artificial reef that would be of some benefit to the country. Unfortunately I don’t see that happening.
