The British tried that once.
They got shot.

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.

You have to be incredibly stupid or incredibly dishonest to think that snipped tweet forwarded from "Rambobiggs" said anything about nuking anyone who resists.

How unhinged are right wing gun nuts anyway? Spend more time reading real books and less guns and ammo.

Looks like the congressman tried to have a respectful conversation with a crackpot loser gun fetishist who thinks he scored a "gotcha".

Tee hee. “Give us your guns, or we’ll blow ALL of us up!”

How silly is that.

From the link:

“Ban assault weapons, buy them back,"

Not exactly a call to ban semi-automatic weapons in the US.

Relax.

Take a deep breath.

I admire his candor on the issue. Usually homicidal sociopaths (aka politicians) hide their penchant for violence quite well.

having that with someone who is pro gun control aka bans is near impossible. Hundreds of threads of us trying to tell facts to those that support gun control but in the end they still parrot buzz words and slogans created by gun control groups and politicians.

Or to believe the cited article claims Swalwell called for confiscation which it does not. While it may be a silly plan, there's quite a difference between a buyback and possible prosecution and confiscation but I guess confiscation is just a far better fear-mongering word, actually used or just thrown out for melodramatic affect.

I don't know, a mandatory buyback sounds like confiscation. Just a play on semantics.
