Swallwell wants to ban only AR-15 guns

[jimnyc]

What an ignorant idiot. There are tons and tons of equivalent rifles out there, and he picks out the scary one that has been used before to ban. Just look up AR15 replacements, equivalent guns, same as, alternatives.... There are tons and tons and tons. I love them all! And I don't point these out as in "he should be banning these too", no, I'm pointing out his ignorance and idiocy, and then some other scary guns. And then he mentions to buy back every "assault weapon" at the end. I won't even say it anymore.

But things that will remain legal, shotguns...




Love this one especially!

Eric Swalwell: Keep Pistols and Shotguns but AR-15s Have Got to Go

Democrat presidential hopeful Eric Swalwell says he will let Americans keep their pistols and shotguns but AR-15s and other commonly owned semiautomatic rifles have got to go.

Swalwell explains his plan via a campaign video, which is largely a compilation of different gun control proponents making unsubstantiated claims regarding AR-15s.

For example, the video shows a fully automatic rifle being fired in a war zone, as voice over says, “The sames gun being used for wars, like in Afghanistan, are now in the streets.”

By talking about the AR-15 while showing video of a machine gun in action, the video gives the impression that AR-15s are fully automatic. In reality, AR-15s and other commonly owned semiautomatic rifles fire one bullet–and one bullet only–with each pull of the trigger, whereas actual weapons of war can fire an entire magazine of bullets with one pull of the trigger.

Swalwell’s video also shows Cameron Kasky speaking at the March for our Lives gun control event, saying, “Shooting after shooting the American people now see the one thing they all have in common–the weapons.” But AR-15s and similar commonly-owned semiautomatic rifles are not the weapon of choice of mass shooters. A Rockefeller Institute of Government study which examined 50 years of mass shootings found that handguns were the weapon of choice over rifles by a margin of three to one.

The video lists attacks like Sandy Hook (December 14, 2012), Orlando Pulse (June 12, 2016), and Parkland (February 14, 2018), along with the number of people killed in each. These attacks are listed because rifles were used. Attacks like Virginia Tech (April 16, 2007), Fort Hood (November 5, 2009), DC Navy Yard (September 16, 2013), Sante Fe High School (May 18, 2018), and Virginia Beach (May 31, 2019) are omitted because handguns and shotguns were used in those attacks.

Swalwell appears near the end of the video, saying, “I say keep your hunting rifles, keep your pistols, keep your shotguns, but let’s ban and buyback every single ‘assault weapon’ in America.”

Some of these people very, very ignorant.

Eric Swallwel may truly be the dumbest person to ever run for President, and that's saying something.

Thankfully he has less than zero chance at being the Democratic nominee.
