Eric Swalwell on Gun Control: You're Either With Kids or Their Killers

Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) gave no room for nuance during Wednesday's House Judiciary Committee hearing about the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives new rule on arm braces, stating either people are for strict gun control laws or they are with mass shooters.

"l look at this is very binary. You can protect your home, you can take your kids hunting, you can shoot for sport. But if you’re not on the side of protecting our kids, you’re on the side of helping their killers, that’s it. You either can help the kids or help the killers," Swalwell said.

Swalwell went on to say he believes Republicans who are calling to defund the ATF are putting targets on the back of law enforcement.

House Republicans laid into ATF Director Steven Dettelbach for the agency changing the rule about pistol braces after they have been in circulation for over 10 years. As it currently stands, gun owners have until the end of May to remove their pistol braces from their firearms, destroy it, turn it in to their local ATF office, or register their firearm as a short-barreled rifle.

OMG! What a friggin' pansy this assclown is. Millions of lawfully owned firearms are resting comfortably in gun safes and wall racks doing nothing at the present time.

This person who is in cahoots with the CCP big time. Even without something like that involved, he has a lot of chutzpah to make that kind of remark.

DEMOCRATS are the biggest child-killers in history. Nothing makes me angrier than those bastards projecting their death cult onto people who want to save the lives of innocent children.

Since the these killers are, by and large, leftist, atheist, nutjobs, they align more to Swalwell’s circle of friends - not responsible gun owners.

99% of gun-related deaths are caused by democrats.

Common sense gun control would be to not allow anybody that’s voted D in the last 20 years to own a firearm.

Funny how agents of the government always want to disarm the people so that THEY can have a monopoly on firepower.

Eric is not grasping that kids are generally killing each other in black neighborhoods with illegal weapons, while most likely out on bail or parole.

More gun law please

Since their killers all happen to fall on the left, perhaps the entire left needs to be exterminated if we are to go with his line of thought.

If we would stop handing out SSRIs like candy, and start treating mental illness, we would go a lot further to protecting our kids. How about instead of coddling people who have delusions, how about we try to help them in better ways than drugging them up? How about cognitive behavioral therapy so that they deal with whatever has traumatized them in the first place? Or for those who are psychopaths, let us institutionalize them. Let’s arm the schools. Kids aren’t afraid of cops. In general, they are looked up to and respected. (Anyone remember DARE programs?)

"...if you’re not on the side of protecting our kids, you’re on the side of helping their killers, that’s it. You either can help the kids or help the killers." - Eric Swalwell (Democrat U.S. Representative from California)

Denying the inalienable right to keep and bear arms is helping the killers.

Arm up to protect the children.
Release the blood results from autopsies of child killers showing what drugs and hormones they were on.
Release the Tranifesto.

Because one is either protecting kids or helping their killers such as Audrey Hale, the troon who murdered three adults and three children at Covenant Christian Elementary School in Tennessee.

Swallowswell wants children to die in gun-free zones for his political demagoguery.

FACT: 98% of mass-shootings occur in gun-free zones
