Rep. Eric Swalwell, California Democrat, warned gun owners Friday that any fight over firearms would be “a short one,” because the federal government has an extensive cache of nuclear weapons.

After Joe Biggs tweeted that Mr. Swalwell “wants a war” over the Second Amendment, Mr. Swalwell responded, “And it would be a short war my friend.”

“The government has nukes.Too many of them. But they’re legit,” the congressman tweeted. “I’m sure if we talked we could find common ground to protect our families and communities.”

Mr. Swalwell quickly added that “No one is nuking anyone or threatening that,” but by then it was too late.

“Swalwell 2020: Nuke the Resisters,” tweeted conservative pundit Ben Shapiro.

Mr. Swalwell has long tangled with gun-rights supporters over limits on firearms access. In May, he proposed outlawing “military-style semiautomatic weapons” and requiring owners to sell them to the government or face prosecution.

He told the “gun trolls” erupting over his Friday nukes comment, “Don’t be so dramatic.”

Swalwell is a huge neocon douchebag. Because of that, you can be sure that the military-industrial-media complex will cover him ad nauseum as he prepares to run for POTUS.

This dude looks extremely fake. More so than Gavin Newsom.

Hate to admit but he's right, gummit has nukes.

PS: Both this Democrat Rep. and Pelosi love this country.

>Says he doesn't want to take peoples guns
>Says if people don't give up their guns we'll nuke you

People making threats with nuclear weapons, remind me of two guys sitting in a helicopter, both holding a hand grenade and saying, "I'll pull the pin and drop this in your lap." We get to feel like the pilot.

[oyarde]

I have a scalping knife too .

[pcosmar]

It was mot a "warning",, It was a Direct Threat.

and though "Nukes" was overblown,, the message was clear..

We will Kill you for any resistance.

I would assume that people are adjusting Home defense and mutual Aid preparations..

The murderous bastards deserve a proper welcome.

[RJB]

If a every day person like us made such a threat against this Congressperson, we'd get SWATted a be lucky if we lived to see jail. Some animals are more equal than others.

Somebody should ask him how the war in Afghanistan is going.

Don't be silly, we would never nuke a foreign country, we built that arsenal to keep the peasants in line.

I suspect, attempting to disarm the citizens of the United States, would be very similar to what's going on in Afghanistan.

But he would be willing to nuke his own country.

Well, he probably thinks, "As long as the government wins, it doesn't matter."

To some people, winning is all that counts. That's why we see so many people spend more than they should on Ebay bidding.

Start with his Home Town.

[Swordsmyth]

Start with his Home Town.

Works for me.

Unfortunately, there is almost no gun control there and almost everyone has a gun. It's a dangerous country, controlling them could take some time.

In case it was ambiguous before, it's pretty clear now. Government is force.

It's nice to know our representatives would like us dead.

The Afghan countryside is not safe, the cities are marginally safe outside of the spring/summer campaign season. The country produces about 5M mt of wheat and imports about 2M mt. Bread would be mighty scarce in the cities without those foreign imports.

Well, I was thinking more along the lines of, The United States can't disarm the Afghan villagers any easier than they could their own people. There would be a lot of resistance.

Glad to have you.

In essence Eric Swalwell is saying: American people don't need guns as a deterrent to police state/totalitarian government because - We'll nuke the American people!

[Slave Mentality]

We have all heard someone say similar: “best military in da world, helicopters and missiles and stuff, no chance for armed peasants”

I usually reply with “goat $#@!ers in Toyotas sure have been holding their own “.
