Thanks, Eric!

I would like to personally thank Representative Eric Swallwell (D-CA) for his recent hat-in-the-ring commentary. 

That's on behalf of the National Rifle Association, true Patriots, Constitutionalists, Bill of Rights activists, 2nd Amendment supporters, freedom-loving people and more than 100 Million Gun Owners nationwide.  

Anyway, during his announcement for POTUS speech, Mr. Swallwell was kind enough to share with us his vision for a Swallwell Administration.  His major focus, he told us, was to solve "...the problem of gun violence in our Country."  

Why gun violence?  I can only assume all the other good goals were already taken by his opponents.  Global warming?  Taken.  Medicare for all?  Taken.  Green New Deal?  Taken.  Tax the "rich" into the Stone Age?  Taken.  Since all the good stuff was already taken, he lit upon preventing gun violence.  And this is how he'd do it...

1.  He'd start by forcing the licensure of all gun owners.  I'm kind of wondering why we would be expected to purchase a license to exercise one of our Rights under the Constitution.  Should we be required to do that to exercise free speech under the 1st?  To claim our Right to remain silent under the 5th?  

(Perp:  "I'm taking the Fifth!"  Cop:  "You'll need a license for that!")

2.  He'd then force all gun owners to buy and carry accident insurance on their guns and their actions while using them.  Should we be forced to buy insurance against others of those pesky Rights granted us by the Constitution?  Should we be forced to show our license before we utter a controversial comment?  And who decides what's controversial?  Facebook?  Twitter?  Eric?  

3.  Then he says he'd breathe life into a new Federal Database of all gun owners.  Why?  Of course, there's only one obvious reason "why."  How else would they know where to go when they decide to confiscate them?  

4.  And just to make sure he hadn't missed angering anyone, he'd then make it a criminal offense to transfer a gun, any gun, to anyone, without Federal approval and licensure.  Grandpa wants to give Junior his shotgun?  Ummm, nope!  No can do according to Eric.  That'd be a felony!  Grandad has to ask permission first.  Of the Government!  How do think that would go?

There's gonna' be a New Sheriff in Town!  And it's Eric!

5.  Then Swallwell would outlaw all so-called "assault weapons."  Now, we don't have any "assault weapons" for sale here in America, and haven't since the 1930's (Automatic Weapons Act of 1934).  That's a name given to certain rifles by Senator Diane "Lady Di" Feinstein back in 1992.  But don't confuse the Leftists with the facts.  They just hate those evil-looking all black and scary, semi-auto rifles.  And even though they're used in less than 3% of mass shootings, they just have to be outlawed.  Why?  Because Eric wants to be President...

Did you know more people are killed every year in the U. S. by hammers than rifles of all types?  Should we outlaw hammers as well?  Hmmmm...

6.  And for a follow-up, our boy would institute a forced buy-back of all 15 million-or-so of these rifles in circulation here using your tax money to do it.  As if the Gummint actually owned these weapons and Eric is just going to "buy them back."  

And, he says, if we don't cough them up when called upon, he's threatened to use nuclear weapons on us!  Yes, my friends, he's actually said that.  I wonder, does this put him out of the mainstream?  Nuking your citizens if they disobey your commandments?  Has he heard about the likelihood of collateral damage?  Dictator much?

He goes on to say that he would jail anyone who refuses to turn over their guns when he and his minions come for them.  Jail.  For having legally purchased a legal gun, and having the temerity to own it.  And keep it.  And bear it.  Legally.

I presume the jails would be used only for those who managed to somehow survive the nuclear blast...

7.  And lastly, for now, I guess, he wants to establish an Australian-style gun control program.  That means a no-gun-to-control program, I think.  Because once you've forcibly taken the guns from the people, assuming you ever could, then he's got to make sure they don't get any more of them, right?

Of course, Australia is filled back up with guns, its citizens having now recognized that they need to protect themselves and each other from the Bad Guys who just do not care what the law says; they're criminals.  They break the law.  That's the very definition of criminals.  They're buying them illegally now.  But the Media isn't telling you about that.

AU's murder, burglary and rape rates are up more than 10% post-confiscation.  And their burglary/ assault/breaking and entering rates are up more than 50%!  Cause and effect?

(NOTE:  A recent FBI survey of more than 8,000 incarcerated felons in the U. S. indicated that less than 8% of the guns they bought were purchased legally.  The rest were bought in a back alley or stolen.)

Those on the Left, the rabid gun-haters among us, have told us for decades that they do not want to confiscate our weapons.  They've told us that.  We didn't believe them then, we don't believe them now, and now you know why; this dweeb has actually come out and verbalized what all the others are thinking.  And here it is:

We already know they don't trust us to make decisions regarding our own lives and the lives of our families.  They don't think we know what to drive, and what to eat, and how to raise and educate our children.  And they certainly don't think we should be trusted to actually own and keep and use and carry an actual GUN!  I mean, why would you need a gun?  We have police, doncha' know!  In short, you'd be a lot easier to manage if you were disarmed.  

"Remember, they just want to be left alone to live our lives."   -  The Chuckmeister

Something tells me Swallwell will be named the new "Gun Salesman of the Year" by the National Rifle Association.  There's nothing quite like the threat to confiscate our guns that will cause a run on the gun shops.  It happened the day after Obama was elected and continued unabated for his entire 8-year term.  In fact, gun ownership in America DOUBLED under Obama, from about 150 million to more than 325 million guns!  And it'll happen again now with this bozo! 

Can't you hear that sound?  It's the sound of the turn style turning at gun shops nationwide.  Sales took a downturn once Trump was elected.  The threat, we believed, was over.  But now you can expect a yuuuuuge increase!  Production is gearing up at Remington, and Smith and Wesson, and Colt and Browning and Savage and all the others as this is written.  Thanks again, Eric! 

I wonder if this wannabe' Boy Scout knows he'll be partially responsible for the run-up in stock valuation for America's gun manufacturers?

I predict the NRA will add another million or so members as a consequence of Eric's little plan.  And they'll probably reap a few $Million in extra donations from 2nd Amendment supporters who simply detest what this lame, misguided, ignorant, pandering fool is advocating.  Do you think gun owners or their families and friends will vote for this smarmy leech? 
                
NEWS FLASH!:  As I was preparing to push "publish" and send this little missive off into the ether, Senators Cory Booker and Kamala Harris, both lawyers, of course, and both candidates for the Democrat POTUS nomination 2020, decided to juice their flagging campaigns by launching their own anti-gun tirades!  Booker says he'd require everyone to be licensed by the Federal Government before they could buy a gun.  He supports his plan by saying, "You need a license to drive a car.  Why not one to own a gun?"  And, he says, he'd "throw them in jail" if they don't turn them in.  

Obviously, Mr. Booker is unaware that driving a car is a privilege and owning and using a gun is a Constitutional Right.

What are they teaching at Yale and Haaaavid Law Schools these days?

And Harris?  She just stated that she would give the Congress only 100 days after her election to come up with "reasonable gun safety laws" or she would undertake Executive Action to do it all by herself.  Hmmm.  

Errr, Kamala, are you unaware we have more than 25,000 gun control laws already on our books?  Did you know they're not being enforced?  Why don't you start?  

So, these reality-challenged, obviously under-educated laughing stock lawyers are unaware that we have a thing called the 2nd Amendment.  And to obviate it requires an Act of Congress!  That means two-thirds of the States have to ratify the Constitutional change, and two-thirds of the Congress has to agree.  The chance of that happening is slim and none.  And Slim is out of town...

To think we have a candidate for President who thinks she could use a little memo to remove our 2nd Amendment Rights is a laugh-out-loud condemnation of both her and her seriousness as a candidate.  And what if we complained?  Another E.O. to remove our Right to free speech?

Stay tuned, America.  Remember, every action has an equal and opposite reaction!
