Swalwell: I Will Jail Those Who Defy My Gun Grabbing Agenda
Even CNN hairspray-heads can’t take him seriously…
TAPPER: So, gun control is the central plank in your campaign.You wrote last year — quote — “We should ban possession of military- style semiautomatic assault weapons. We should buy back such weapons from all who choose to abide by the law. And we should criminally prosecute any who choose to defy it by keeping their weapons.” Criminal prosecution for keeping assault weapons. What’s the punishment for people who don’t hand in their guns? Do they go to jail?
SWALWELL: Well, Jake, they would,…
…and then, finally sensing the trap, he belatedly segued into a diatribe about how uniquely dangerous “assault weapons” are. It’s those shoulder things that go up – apparently just blundering near one is instantly lethal.
The funny thing about Swalwell, and I mean that literally, is that this is actually his version of toning down the rhetoric. Last year he was threatening us with nuclear weapons. Seriously!
The question has been asked so often it’s become a cliché: Why are gun grabbers so violent? And, in the face of their very serious threats, do they really expect us to disarm? They don’t seem trustworthy.
As author Jon Ross so eloquently pointed out, there are always “unintended consequences.”
