Eric Swalwell Pushes ‘Assault Weapons’ Buyback After Synagogue Shooting
By AWR HAWKINS
Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) reiterated his “assault weapons” buyback push on Sunday following the attack on the Congregation Chabad in Poway.
The synagogue was attacked Saturday morning. Breitbart News reported that the attacker arrived at approximately 11:20 am, opening fire shortly thereafter. Three persons were wounded and one was killed.
he attacker then fled the scene while a good guy with a gun ran behind him, shooting at, but missing, the suspect.
CNN reports that the Chabad in Poway attacker used an “AR-type assault weapon.”
Swalwell responded by tweeting:
Here is another way to look at this:
-
Aurora — Gun-Free Zone
-
Orlando — Gun-Free Zone
-
Parkland — Gun-Free Zone
-
Sandy Hook — Gun-Free Zone
-
Umpqua CC — Gun-Free Zone
-
Waffle House — Gun-Free Zone
-
San Bernadino — Gun-Free Zone
-
Tree of Life Synagogue — Gun-Free on the day the attack occurred.
And in a gun-free zone, it does not matter what type of weapon the attacker uses because he is the only one with a gun. Therefore, he has time on his side. The Parkland attacker had time to pause and reload five times while the Sandy Hook attacker had over nine minutes without armed resistance.
Also missing from Swalwell’s list of shootings and types of weapons used is any acknowledgement that California already has an “assault weapons” ban.
Regardless of these things, Swalwell is full steam ahead on his push to do a mandated buyback of “assault weapons,” with jail-time as a consequence for those who do not comply.
Eric Swalwell Tries to Walk Back Push to Jail Gun Owners
By Awr Hawkins
Democrat presidential hopeful Eric Swalwell tried to walk back his statement about jailing gun owners who refuse to comply with a future firearms ban.
On April 14, 2019, CNN’s Jake Tapper noted Swalwell’s plan to mandate buybacks of “assault weapons” and criminally prosecute those who do not comply. Tapper asked Swalwell if criminal prosecution means Americans who held on to their guns would go to jail. Swalwell responded, “They would.”
Swalwell added that gun owners would be given an “alternative” choice of placing keeping their guns at “a hunting club or a shooting range,” but either way, the guns would no longer be in their possession.
He has been clear that he plans to use a forced buyback to take “assault weapons” away from everyone who possesses them. In fact, it has been one of his most prominent campaign promises:
Despite these statements on sending non-compliant gun owners to jail and taking away whole categories of firearms, Swalwell claims he has no plans to “take guns from law-abiding gun owners.”
He tweeted:
Note that his attempt to dismiss concerns that he wants to “take guns from law-abiding gun owners” ends with the pledge to #BanandBuyBack. The plan to #BanandBuyback is the method used to take away guns in Australia and New Zealand.
MUST WATCH! ARMED CHICAGO MAN FENDS OFF VIOLENT ATTACKERS
Public assault in broad daylight stopped by defensive use of 2nd Amendment
APRIL 9, 2019
Footage shows two attackers run off when a man pulls his handgun out while being assaulted near Chicago’s Magnificent Mile neighborhood.
This example of how the 2nd Amendment can stop violent crimes comes two days after Chicago police arrested 21 people in the same part of town.
Notice in the video below how those observing the scuffle from inside a McDonald’s do nothing to help and instead sit silently until the man shows his handgun, prompting the patrons to shriek in fear.
There is an irony here that shouldn’t be ignored.
The man being attacked is wearing some sort of security guard outfit, which is likely why he’s allowed to carry a weapon in the first place as Chicago has some of the most strict gun policies in the country.
Chicago also has one of the highest violent crime rates in the country, but statistics show crime would drop if it were easier for law-abiding citizens like the man in the video to carry.

Eric Swalwell will reportedly announce next week that he is running for president in 2020 and will center his campaign around gun control.
BERNIE SANDERS CALLS FOR NZ STYLE GUN GRAB
It’s the kind of overnight gun control Democrat presidential candidate Bernie Sanders can get behind
MARCH 22, 2019
Three days is all it took for politicians in New Zealand to ban so-called “military style” rifles in the wake of horrific attacks on mosques that left 50 kiwis dead.
The laws haven’t been formally approved by the country’s parliament, but Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern announced the ban on “all military style semi-automatic weapons” takes effect immediately, regardless.
“Today I am announcing that New Zealand will ban all military-style semi-automatic weapons. We will also ban all assault rifles. We will also ban all high capacity magazines,” Ardern said, according to ABC News. “We will ban all parts with the ability to convert semi-automatic or any other type of firearm into a military style semi-automatic weapon.”
It’s the kind of overnight gun control Democrat presidential candidate can get behind.
The socialist senator from Vermont praised the government’s move to limit gun rights in a post to Twitter late Wednesday.
“This is what real action to stop gun violence looks like,” Sanders posted, along with a link to The Washington Post’s coverage of the gun grab.
He ignored the fact that the right to bear arms is enshrined in the U.S. Constitution.
“We must follow New Zealand’s lead, take on the NRA and ban the sale and distribution of assault weapons in the United States,” Sanders wrote.
Ardern said she expects New Zealand lawmakers to approve the new restrictions by the end of a two week session that concludes on April 11, and she called on retailers to halt the sales of the banned weapons and return unsold supplies.
The prime minister announced the gun ban is only the first step, with further restrictions on licensing, registration and storage still to come, according to ABC News.
The New Zealand government in unsure of the number of “assault” or “military-style” guns currently owned by citizens, but plans to hold a buy-back costing between $100 million and $200 million to convince them to turn them over, Ardern said.
She described the cost as “a price that we must pay for the safety of our community.”
Ironically, a man who helped to stop the horrific shooting at two New Zealand mosques last week used a semi-automatic handgun to chase the perpetrator away.
Under the new gun ban, that gun would now be illegal, according to Townhall.
The criteria for the new ban on “Military-Style Semi-Automatics” defines the term as any “semi-automatic firearm capable of being used with a detachable magazine which holds more than five cartridges” or “a semi-automatic shotgun capable of being used with a detachable magazine which holds more than five cartridges,” the news site reports.
“Based on the specific criteria outlined in the New Zealand ban, Sanders is calling for a ban on essentially every firearm in the United States,” Townhall reports. “The functional definition of ‘assault rifle’ in this case includes nearly all firearms in regular, legal and proper use by millions of Americans.”
CNN WINS ‘CRONKITE AWARD’ FOR PARKLAND TOWN HALL WHICH SAW NRA REP BERATED, THREATENED WITH VIOLENCE
‘Is this a joke? Seriously,’ says Dana Loesch
MARCH 19, 2019
CNN was bestowed the Cronkite Award for its “Parkland Town Hall” which resulted in NRA spokeswoman Dana Loesch being escorted off the premises after attendees berated and tried to assault her.
The University of Southern California held the 10th biennial Walter Cronkite Awards for Excellence in Television Political Journalism on Wednesday, honoring CNN for its Parkland Town Hall last year for “helping advance the national conversation on gun control and violence.”
Loesch attended the event to defend the Second Amendment following the left’s calls for gun control over the deadly school shooting in Parkland, Florida, but the audience ended up hurling insults and threats of violence against her.
“Is this a joke? Seriously,” she tweeted Tuesday, before releasing several video clips of the event while it wasn’t televised.
“Here is some footage where people were yelling to burn me at CNN’s award-winning townhall where they ‘advanced the conversation on gun control,’” she said.
“Shame on you! Shame on you! Shame on you! Shame on you!” the audience chanted as Loesch was escorted from the event.
Some conversation.
Here’s more of the “conversation.”
“This is what happened when the cameras turned off at @CNNPR ’s award-winning townhall. They’re proud of it,” Loesch continued.
In the mainstream media bizarro world, CNN is given awards for “advancing the conversation on gun control and violence” for hosting an event that demonizes the Second Amendment and threatens violence against detractors.
Even CNN CEO Jeff Zucker was given a First Amendment award after lobbying to censor his competition online.
