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.
Congressman and RussiaGate Conspiracy Theorist Running for President
Swalwell is known for his conspiracy theories and anti-Second Amendment rhetoric.
By
A U.S. Congressman from California who is known best for promulgating the leftist conspiracy theory that President Donald J. Trump “colluded” with the Russians to win the presidency has announced his own candidacy for the 2020 race.
“U.S. Representative Eric Swalwell said on Monday he would seek the Democratic nomination for president, joining a crowded field seeking to take on Republican Donald Trump in the 2020 election,” said a Reuters report.
The Democrat’s announcement will be made public on CBS’s “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert,” which will air late Monday night. Colbert is a known leftist political operative who masquerades as a comedian.
Swalwell is best known for his voluminous cable news appearances during which he conspiracy theorized about Trump being an asset of a hostile foreign power. Even after Attorney General William Barr released the findings of Special Counsel Robert S. Mueller III’s lengthy investigation, which cleared Trump of collusion and obstruction of justice, Swalwell still called Trump a “traitor.”
He also had an internet dust up with Second Amendment supporters who claimed that they would never turn their guns over to the federal government, saying that such a demand would cause a civil war. In response, Swalwell suggested using nuclear weapons on American citizens.
“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,” Swalwell said on Twitter.
He enters an already-crowded Democratic primary field, which includes Democratic Party Sens. Kirsten Gillibrand (N.Y.), Kamala Harris (Calif.), Elizabeth Warren (Mass.), and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.). Failed U.S. Senate candidate Robert Francis “Beto” O’Rourke has entered the race, as have former Obama administration official Julian Castro of Texas, Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-Hawaii), Mayors Pete Buttigieg of South Bend, Indiana, and entrepreneur Andrew Yang.
Two heavy hitters, former Vice President Joe Biden and failed Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams are both considering entering the race.
VOTE FOR ME OR I WILL NUKE YOU
Eric Swalwell will reportedly announce next week that he is running for president in 2020 and will center his campaign around gun control.
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.
Dick’s Sporting Goods Removes All Reasons For a Gun Buyer to Walk Into Their Store
By
Dick’s Sporting Goods has kowtowed to anti-gun pressure yet again.
On March 13, 2019 the sporting goods retail company announced that it will stop selling guns at 125 of its stores.
According to the Wall Street Journal, the retail outlet will now be using the new space in those stores to sell “what it considers faster-selling, higher-margin items like outdoor recreation equipment and licensed sports gear.” This development is an expansion of Dick’s original plan in 2018, when it decided to remove guns from 10 of its stores.
Since CEO Ed Stack’s controversial decision to enact anti-gun measures such as no longer selling guns to under-21 buyers and taking so-called “assault” weapons and high-capacity magazines off the shelves, Dick’s sales saw a steady decline of 3.1 percent for the end of the fiscal year on February 2. Stack has admitted that these measures have contributed to the drop in sales.
According to Stack, the previous quarter witnessed increased sales in the 10 test stores that experimented with the anti-gun policies. Because of this, Stack believes there is potential for expanding his anti-gun policies. The 125 stores he recently expanded his anti-gun policies in were targeted specifically because they performed poorly in hunting sales.
Dick’s move is the latest in corporate anti-gun virtue signaling.
Thankfully, gun controllers are limited politically due to Republican control of the Presidency and Senate. This has forced them to focus on state legislatures across the nation.
However, on the corporate front, gun control forces are making their presence felt. From CEOs coming out in favor of universal gun registration to social media deplatforming of gun organizations, corporate gun control is arguably the greatest threat to gun rights in America at the moment.
As the government grows bigger, the lines between the private and public sector become blurrier.
Your favorite corporations are very likely not your best friend when it comes to your right keep and bear arms.
Andrew Cuomo Signs Gun Confiscation Into Law in New York
The legislation allows gun rights to be stripped from private citizens without any criminal conviction.
By
New York Governor Andrew Cuomo signed the latest New York law expressing the state’s hostility to the Second Amendment Monday.
The “Red Flag” law will take effect in 180 days.
The legislation allows the court system to seize legally owned firearms without a criminal conviction. Private individuals, law enforcement and school administration can request that judges impose gun confiscation on those they personally deem a threat to themselves or others.
The bill lays out a process through which a judge can issue an order preventing individuals deemed to be a security risk from either possessing or buying a gun for six days.

During that period, a hearing would be held in which the judge could extend the gun ownership ban for up to a year- all without any form of criminal conviction, and merely at the request on an individual who deems another to be a dangerous threat.
The backdoor, extrajudicial gun confiscation is gaining popularity across the country, as an alternative to policies that would ordinarily require criminal convictions to strip Americans of their Second Amendment Rights.
Even Republicans in nominally conservative states such as Arizona are pushing to implement systems that would allow for red flag gun confiscation.
New York already has some of the toughest gun control laws in the country. Firearms deemed to be “assault weapons” are banned, and the state has imposed a licensing system for ownership of all guns.
Gun ownership in New York City itself is largely restricted to the wealthy and politically connected, as the city utilizes a complicated permit system that largely prices out middle and working-class law abiding citizens from gun ownership.
LIBERALS BELIEVE TRUMP SHOULD FOLLOW CONSTITUTION, BUT THEY SHOULDN’T
Hypocrite left is selective with who needs to obey the law

Kaitlin Bennett asked Kent State students if Trump is violating the Constitution by declaring a national emergency.
She asked those who said yes if restrictions on our 1st and 2nd Amendment rights are also unconstitutional.
Democrat Eric Swalwell Calls for Confiscation of Semi-Automatic Weapons in US — Nuke Those Who Resist
HE WANTS YOUR GUNS AMERICA!
By Jim Hoft
You can tell the election is over.
Democratic Rep. Eric Swalwell called for the confiscation of semi-automatic rifles in a USA Today oped on Friday.
Swalwell wants taxpayers to foot the bill using 15 billion of taxpayer dollars to do it.
Swalwell then says to prosecute those who resist.
Democrats will ALWAYS go after your guns and they will ALWAYS LIE at election time and say they won’t.
NBC reported:
In a USA Today op-ed entitled “Ban assault weapons, buy them back, go after resisters,” Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., argued Thursday that prior proposals to ban assault weapons “would leave millions of assault weapons in our communities for decades to come.”
Swalwell proposes that the government should offer up to $1,000 for every weapon covered by a new ban, estimating that it would take $15 billion to buy back roughly 15 million weapons — and “criminally prosecute any who choose to defy [the buyback] by keeping their weapons.”
Former combat veteran, hunter and political junkie Joe Biggs responded to Swalwell’s controversial proposition.
Joe Biggs continued by lecturing Swalwell on the history of the AR.
This obviously set Swalwell off because he then called for nuke attacks on resistors.
