Why are anti-gun activists so violent?
Rep. Eric Swalwell implies that when the government comes to take your guns, they should nuke you if you don’t comply. This is, essentially, calling for a war. And, trust me, that’s the last thing anybody wants. This simpleton probably thinks that he’s just gonna sit on the sidelines while the revenuers go door to door, kicking them in to take guns from Bubbas all across the red states.
He’s wrong.

To give him the benefit of any doubt, the point he was making, inarticulate and dumb as it was, is that we with our puny smallarms are no match for a modern military.
Point taken, and it’s wrong as wrong can be; the Soviets gave up without nuking Afghanistan, and the U.S. will eventually get out of that country as well, without having “won with the benefits of a modern military”.
Pat and Stew, of all people, on the Glenn Beck radio program the other day, did the best job that I’ve heard to date of disassembling the “smallarms-are-no-match-for-a-modern-military” argument. Tanks, artillery, and close air support are no good for going after individuals without some fairly massive collateral damage, for one thing, in urban and suburban areas where most gun owners live.
All issues of technology and tactics notwithstanding; if a people with naught but smallarms and a love of liberty posed no perceived threat to a government-gone-rogue, the Progressives, Marxists, papists, Moslems, Jesuits, Freemasons, et al would feel no desire to disarm the civilian populations of Western Civilization. Thus their actions disprove their assertions. QED.

Just a couple of dozen recalcitrant gun owners in California would leave a real mess when Rep. Swalwell’s plan gets implemented.

The statists always expect someone else to do their dirty work.

“The statists always expect someone else to do their dirty work.”
It also doesn’t occur to those leftist culls that some of their intended targets might come after THEM.

Leftist Democrats, probably including this Swalwell character, are against using troops to even enforce our immigration laws at the border and want to abolish ICE. Yet, he wants to use the military to enforce his illegal gun laws against American citizens!!!
@rickn8or, you know that Congress always illegally EXEMPTS THEMSELVES from laws they impose on us, especially gun laws. That’s what criminals go and this guy is one of the worst of them!

The us army has about 500k members, not all of whom are even armed. Pennsylvania alone has around a million licensed hunters, nearly all of whom, with an hours practice, could match the results of a designated marksman.

@Anon, so all of a sudden, some supposed liberal Democrats want to use the military against American citizens to enforce federal gun laws by when they don’t even want local LE merely co-operating with federal agents enforcing federal immigration laws against those already arrested for other crimes! It is evident that they hate their own citizens and want to demonize and criminalize tens of millions of our people and use military force against us. This is incredible evil!
ONLY YOUR ENEMY WANTS YOU DISARMED
