Just days after taking back the House, a Democratic Congressmen has proposed outlawing "military-style semi-automatic assault weapons" and forcing existing owners to sell their weapons or face prosecution.
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.”
As NBC News reports, this is a major departure from prior gun control proposals that typically exempt existing firearms; as in the past, Democrats and gun safety groups have carefully resisted proposals that could be interpreted as 'gun confiscation', a concept gun rights groups have often invoked as part of a slippery slope argument against more modest proposals like universal background checks.
And sure enough Swalwell's egotistical over-reach - going full "Australia" - prompted anger across social media. But it was one particular thread that caught our eye…
John Cardillo, 'America Talks Live' host on Newsmax, tweeted in response: "Make no mistake, Democrats want to eradicate the Second Amendment, ban and seize all guns, and have all power rest with the state. These people are dangerously obsessed with power."

Which prompted a further response from Joe Biggs, a combat vet, "So basically @RepSwalwell wants a war. Because that’s what you would get. You're outta your fucking mind if you think I’ll give up my rights and give the gov all the power."

To which Rep. Swalwell decided to reply - in a not tyrannical-sounding way at all… "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."

So he'd be willing to force innocent Americans to be arrested, claiming it will "save others"…. and if they resist, the government should just nuke the communities and kill tens of thousands of innocent Americans in the process? WOW!

Now you know why they want your guns.
Caleb Young
I'm telling you, there's a republican at the top of the leftist cabal pulling strings to make them say this shit.
Jose Lopez
I would agree with you because this is laughably bad optics, but the leftists and their voters agree with this shit completely. They have no sense of self awareness
Josiah Miller
Its getting bad. When they think arresting millions of fellow Americans and locking them up in gulags is OK then this is the tipping point for civil war!
David Powell
EXCELLENT !!!
YPU FAGGOTS DONT NEED GIND, ANYWAY
Kayden Walker
Every day at work I hear more and more bizarre shit. Like they're trying to outdo each other. They talk about love and not dehumanizing other people and yet they always talk about how anyone who is right of them is evil.
Josiah Lewis
Congratulations at suddey misusing the word 'optics' just because fat ugly homosexual Cesar Sayoc said it.
Lincoln Rodriguez
The only thing that is excellent about this is it exposes you leftists for the Anti-American despots you really are.
Let me guess, you guys are so deranged by now you'll take this as a badge of honor.
Ian Rogers
Typo*
SUDDENLY you stupid piece of shit
Oliver Collins
I have no idea who that is. English is not my first language too. If you have a better word for it, please tell me.
Angel Anderson
Well if this isn't utter insanity then nothing is anymore.
Wyatt Allen
They try to outdo each other on how insane they can get.
Zachary Perez
Is convincing the US military to nuke the US possible?
Aaron Gomez
So far, NONE of you gun toting white trash WWE FANS has done any kind of 'patriotic heroism' with you pea shotters.
In fact, the only thing we've ever seen you gun faggots do is become so frustrated that girls laugh in your faces, that you go into public places and randomly start shooting innocent people,vicariously lashing out at all the women who've rejected you and your stupid gun….
Which, by the way, is nothing more than your compensation for having a small penis….
Justin Brown
No, user. The majority of gun owners do not go on shooting rampages. If we did, you would all be dead by now. There are more of us than you think and we can out-gun any standing army today.
You are delusional. If you lunatics had any clue of what another civil war would look like, you would shut your damn mouths by now and re-think all of this.
Dylan Russell
I'm not white, I don't own a gun, never watched wrestling, and still think you're a fucking retard
Aiden Smith
I have 5 guns in my home and I haven't killed a single person. Don't know what kind of drugs you are taking.
As far as being a patriot, disarming innocent Americans by force at the point of more guns is about as unpatriotic an idea I can think of, besides nuking our own country over it, that takes the fucking cake.
Brandon Moore
If Putin hates America he's not trying to rig elections for the Republicans LOL!!
Jordan Wright
I am almost 70 years old and this is the first time I ever heard of a US Congressman actually hint of nuking fellow citizens in the US. The level of insanity is not funny anymore, this is getting real serious, real fast. Dude needs to resign over this.
Lincoln Myers
If a republican said anything of this sort they'd be forced to resign.
Kevin Lopez
I think leftists have assumed they are now above the law, and they don't have limits anymore which is a very dangerous scenario.
Never give up those guns, I do think they'd like to subjugate or kill us, my gut feeling is yes they are despots.
Andrew Richardson
I think they actually are above the law. Or at least above scrutiny. I'm seeing so much weird shit happen these past 2 years that it's obvious the Left has never given up any control.
Leo Flores
THANKYOU
YOU ARE JUST PROVES EXACTLY WHAT I SAID ABOUT HAVING LITTLE PENISES, AND THINKING YOU'RE BIG TOUGH GUYS….
Luke Evans
The leftist politicians are, unfortunately, so are their NGOs and paid violent provocateurs. When there are individual asshole leftist plebs that do something stupid or criminal typically they will get arrested for it. Still, its not a very stable system and Trump is very naive if he thinks keeping Obama's holdovers in office is doing any good for us because it is NOT. He needs to purge and replace ALL those fuckers, top down. Then maybe we'd see some justice served.
Wyatt Nelson
That is not how it work. The top tier is elected and the holdovers are appointed with approval from these elected officials. The only hope Trump has is that the new commie Ocasio raises hell and makes them lose their seats.
Aiden Sanders
Everybody's heard your redundant 'bravado' bullshit before. It's all the same trite, tired old cliches: "you'll have to pry my gun out of my Cold Dead hands", and other equally as ignorant statements made by men with tiny penises….
And the funniest part? You seem to be oblivious to exactly just how easy it would be to literally pry your gun out of your cold dead hands, because you ain't shit, and there's not a goddamn thing you could do to stop it once the ball begins to roll.
Cameron Thompson
…. And just like your parents told you when you were children, 'nobody gives a fuck about your opinions or your beliefs'…
So no matter what you think or say, that doesn't change the fact that the ball has already begun to roll, and your right to bear arms is already dissolving between your fingers…..
Granted, the military has given this a lot of thought, and they've hired the very best think tanks plan out every possible contingency…. Sure it would be some bumpy road for a short amount of time, but they're well prepared for it, and if you're one of those idiots who thinks you're going to defend your land and stand there with your assault rifle, they have ways of neutralizing you from half a mile away and you would never see it coming….
You're either going to comply, die, or go to prison for the rest of your life… It's your choice fuckface
Michael Bennett
Perhaps, and maybe the next clown - much worse than Ocasio - is the Congressman in the OP who hinted that nuclear force against fellow Americans would be a rational idea.
I can't tell you how sick to my stomache this makes me feel, what the HELL is wrong with these people? Are they fucking serious, they want millions of law-abiding gun owning Americans wiped off the Earth (not to mention all the 'collateral damage')?
Eli Sanchez
It will never roll because it's impossible. We keep talking like this because we know gun owners are law abiding citizens. But what about when they aren't? How many thug niggas have handguns? Are they going to easily walk in and take those too? Hell no. The moment law abiding gun owners disregard the law is the moment this plan fails.
Then let it be. There will be a tipping point eventually. It has to get worse before it can get better, and the best way of getting people to wake up is to slap them across the face with it.
Kevin Russell
Well then we have traitors running the country. Anti-American traitors. Fine. If they want to kill millions and show their true faces for the world to see, fine.
You and 250 of your uneducated white trash gun-toting WWE fan friends could all line up around your property with assault rifles, getting ready to defend your land and your right to bear arms, and they would literally vaporize you with drones… They could set up giant speakers on the back of transport vehicles 2 mi away and direct sub audible frequencies at you that would cause central nervous system convulsions and bleeding from the nose and eyes…
If they wanted to take your guns there's not a fucking thing you could do to stop them
Xavier Hernandez
You look your perfectly happy killing innocent Americans. This is the face and despotism of the leftists for all to see.
Isaac Smith
Nobody pays attention to your game of semantics…. You can use the word 'traitors' all you want, but nobody's going to pay attention…..
It'll be the United States department of defense that handles the project, and the man who do the job are going to be referred to as United States soldiers….
It won't happen overnight but I guarantee you it will happen, and if there are people you are determined to become 'legends' and get killed during the conflict, nobody's going to remember them either, because they're just a bunch of nut cases
Hunter Peterson
No. Almost half the American population is armed. There are over 100,000,000 gun owners all over the country. A few nukes, drones, whatever, will only kill so many. And by that point it will be CLEAR AS FUCKING DAY TO EVERYONE you scumbags are the enemies of America!
Christian Perry
That surely worked in the middle east, right? Sorry but infantry are badly dealt with if you don't want to cause structural damage, which will never be resorted to. It's why the FBI spent millions surrounding a fucking cabin with a family inside it for a month in 2014, and that had nothing to do with any gun grabbing. Try that on a national level, it won't work.
No more than anybody remembers Elliot Rodger, or Dylan Klebolf, or the Columbine homosexuals (fact: they french kissed each other before killing themselves)
There's a teeny tiny handful of losers who remember these faggots
Liam Scott
Its true, they would not have the human resources to carry out such despotic orders to disarm everyone. One standoff alone can result in a huge strain in time, money and resources for the federal government… imagine if there were 100 or 200 standoffs in every state, per fucking day! Cops would quite due to the risks, feds would be overwhelmed and under-supplied and the PR against them would be RUTHLESS (rightfully so!)
Adrian Richardson
Thumbody was borned wiff a WIDDWE WEE WEE
Josiah Foster
That, and phone calls from concerned citizens would be jambing every federal and political phone line across the country too. The PR of even 50 innocent Americans would cause an uproar…. they are talking about MILLIONS of potential deaths? Wew! It would be a civil war and one massive shit show, they'd likely have to shut down the Internet too to prevent Americans from grouping together and forming pockets of decentralized resistance.
Thomas Wood
I think you were born without a brain stem. You have no idea the HELL your idiotic ideas to confiscate guns would create for everyone. You don't like mass shootings now? You imbeciles……..
Charles Peterson
? Cops would quite due to the risks, feds would be overwhelmed and under-supplied Also a lot of cops and feds are gun owners themselves. How many small towns are there where the Sheriff knows everyone? Is he going to go knock on everyone's doors and ask for their guns? Hell no. Compliance alone is an issue, and the blame won't be on the cops or feds but on any politicians who support it.
Bingo. We'll be begging for one mass shooting every month instead of the death and destruction a gun grab will cause.
Zachary Roberts
SCOTUS would be active in this decision no doubt, lucky we have some SANE folks in there to prevent this.
Jonathan Nguyen
This is sane by leftist standards. No one has to make them say anything.
Levi Garcia
And end up as cucked as the UK and Europe? Go live there if you love it so much! Oh wait, it went to hell because the people are cucked.
If even so much as 1,000 lives were taken due to a gun grab this would cause a HUGE sweep of Republican victories in another coming election. No one would want to see this once SHTF, no sane person would condone such horrific policies anymore. The silent majority would rush to those ballot booths in outrage.
Michael Mitchell

Joseph Martin
THIS. They could also move to Canada (if Canada even wants them).
Jaxon Wood
Is this guy for fucking real? Threatening nukes against civilians is the sort of shit that could genuinely start armed insurrection. You can't say that shit as a political official.
Not just that, Democrats wouldn't want to see it either. Believe it or not, there are a lot of people who vote Democrat only because of tradition. My parents were like that, I was nearly like that too. When things stop being fantasy and the reality of death kicks in, priorities shift dramatically. No one will care about tranny rights or platitudes or any of that shit when innocent people are dying
William Martinez
When the worm in your brain ate you It swallowed instead of chewed You were asleep You didn't hear a peep Now you've woken to sense the new you. Is it hard to make sense Of the foolish nonsense That the worm makes you say Each and every day? Does you mind mind The crazy it brings? Do the girls find it sexy When you say stupid things? Don't you fear little man There's hope for you still. Keep you hands in your pockets. Your shoulder against the wall. Don't get out of line Or have a great fall. This prison you found Belongs to the worm. The only way out Is to die and confirm. That wormy is you And you are the worm. No worry, no doubt. We knew from the beginning You'd figure it out Once you stopped ending Everything
Love, the Bigender Accords.
Jason Myers
He needs to be interrogated over this, and they should demand a public apology, if not resignation. This was way way over the line.
This is not some kind of killcen conspiracy, he actually fucking suggested using nuclear weapons against America. WTF is wrong with this guy?
Liam Murphy
As long as conservatives hold the Senate, POTUS and SCOTUS I believe some level of sanity would prevail and any attempt to start such a civil war and unrest would be denied.
Nicholas Phillips
As they all keep pushing for it you eat your words. If it weren't for ALL of them this discussion wouldn't be occurring.
Hunter Adams
He is CIA.
Owen Flores
Some of the RINO cucks like Flake and McCain do support gun bans, but most [real] conservatives do not. If this were not true, we'd already have a mass gun grab and civil war problem already.
Good point, a lot of the Dems running this year did at one point work in various agencies like the CIA. Would not be surprised if this guy can glow in the dark.
Kayden Campbell
They could complete the entire job in three months tops.
You're a fucking idiot
Jason Rogers
Not if citizens don't voluntarily hand over their guns. You must factor the major key issues: #1 around 100,000,000 gun owners all over the country (and the USA is huge!), #2 limited supply of law enforcement and supplies (in some precincts LE is already low on ammo and has to ration their supplies because of budgets), #3 not everyone lives in the city, there are homes spread out EVERYWHERE and a decent amount of these homes have guns (many still unregistered today too), #4 press, politics and the court system too (there would be so much resistance and nightmare publicity over this you'd NEVER hear the end of it), #5 many in the armed forces and LE (including the feds) have families and friends of their own (many who own guns and/or know others who they care about who do too) so this could cause revolt among the ranks, #6 do not forget the militias and those who are heavily trained with guns, that CAN cause a LOT of problems for their enemies if they desired to.
We are heavily populated all around the country, there are over 500 million guns in civil possessions and the legal system would be absolutely overwhelmed (especially if it caused a civil war!)
Blake Collins
THIS and even IF something this draconian passed the House, it would very unlikely pass the Senate, not to mention POTUS would have to sign it into law (the gun organizations would all oppose him passing this and most of his supporters too). And even IF this law gets passed (which is highly unlikely) then the courts would be forced to take up the issue…. all the way to SCOTUS (which republicans now hold a majority).
Right now, don't expect this to happen. Maybe if Trump loses 2020, it could be a possibility but it would still be challenged. The civil war would only kick off if the federal government ever decided to enforce it against the will of the people. THEN it would be on and a civil war won't last months, it would likely last a decade or more with extreme violent harsh consequences for ALL SIDES.
Ethan Bailey
Thats right, in just three months an entire army could overrun a whole continent of disgruntled gun owners (when they can't even win wars in the Middle East let alone shitholes like Syria or Vietnam!)
Note that this chart in the picture does NOT include all the unregistered guns over the years or "ghost guns" manufactured or put together by gun enthusiasts.
Logan Ward
If they do it'll be DC that they nuke.
Sebastian Cooper
I highly doubt the US minute men would allow such an attack against their nation, not even if ordered. The have sworn to protect and defend America at all costs. Not just that, but it takes several different individuals - with security clearances and launch keys - to activate those nukes. If one of these individuals were sane, those nukes would not be activated to fire.
Gavin Miller
I find it very odd that this thread, even with all its comments so far, will not show up on the front page of Zig Forums….. as if it were blacklisted. Anyone notice that too?
The US nuclear launch codes were "000000" for fifty years. Let that sink in.
Nicholas Mitchell
Even so, I dare them to nuke America and see what kind of ramifications that causes when they are in power. The governments' reputation would be WRECKED permanently and every fucking citizen would know their enemies within. And if you don't think political ramifications would be severe, your nuts.

This is Jaron Lastinger, a real life friend of mine.
Like any of us, he's got a couple problems….
But his problems are a little bit more of a problem then my problems. His major problem is that he's 32 years old and he never gets any pussy and he lives with his mommy and he plays video games all day long and watches anime on his computer and he even owns one of those embarrassing silicone tubes that you stick your penis into and jack off into… He's really really smart… He's got a super expensive gaming computer, and he… once again he has flushed his life down the toilet to sit around on his ass playing dragon Ball z or Miss Pac-Man or whatever game is popular this week… And he watches all that bullshit hentai anime crap, and he mooches off his mother..
I give him shit all the time because when you're friends with somebody you're allowed to give them shit… That's what friends do. They give each other a hard time, because they know each other and they know when the other one is full of shit, so they reserve the right to tell their friend when they're completely full of shit.
for example, I rag him all the time about how he can't get any pussy and women aren't interested in 32 year old fat guys who sit at home in their mommy's house, mooching and playing video games and watching anime like a little bitch….
he's admitted to me that he's afraid that if he actually gets a job that means he'll always have to have a job and he won't be able to go back to being a mooch anymore…..
Fuck him

There's a librarian that he has a crush on and when I first saw her I thought "eeewwww"……
But he was too afraid to talk to her so I did the talking for him and I got her to agree to go out on a date but then he blew it because he had to keep saying negative shit…..
it turns out she's got an adorable speech impediment, where she talks like a little baby or something… It's absolutely adorable….
And she's really tiny. She's like 4 ft 5 in and talks just like a little baby but she's smart because she's a librarian….
She's also really into animal rescue…..
And just to piss jaron off I'm actually thinking about asking her out on a date myself
