Being Libertarian
This is ultimately the question, would they? (LC)
I think the biggest argument for keeping guns is the fact that our own representatives are threatening to nuke us.

Democrat Calls for Banning Semi-Auto Weapons and Nuking Those That Resist
November 16, 2018 Justin Moldow 0 Comments 2nd amendment, assault weapons ban, Civil War, Eric Swalwell, gun control, nuclear war, Right to Bear Arms
Earlier this May, Democratic Congressman Eric Swalwell (D-CA) wrote an op-ed in USA Today calling for an Australian style ban on “assault weapons.” In the op-ed, Swalwell stated, “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.”
The op-ed made its rounds on social media today after former NYPD officer John Cardillo recirculated it on Twitter.

Swalwell contends that his tweet was just sarcasm, but doubled down on his belief that the government would stamp out any resistance to tyranny since this is no longer the 18th century and they have nuclear weapons.
Kaitlin Bennett responded to Swalwell’s tweet by saying this is why civilians should have access to all the same weapons as the government.

Democrat Calls For Gun Confiscation, Suggests Nuking Americans Who Fight Back

November 16, 2018
Democratic Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) caused a firestorm on Friday when he suggested using nuclear weapons against American citizens who oppose his far-left gun control agenda, which includes forcing Americans to give up their semi-automatic weapons.
Swalwell made the comment in response to a May news article on his radical plan that was widely recirculated on Twitter on Friday in which he called for a $15 billion government program to confiscate millions of guns from Americans.

Eric Swalwell is simply an idiot who has built a large social media #Resistance following by being the member of Congress willing to issue the most inflammatory, reckless & extreme decrees about Trump/Russia: the easiest way to get noticed in Dem politics:
Swalwell later confirmed in a tweet to the NRA's Dana Loesch that he wants to confiscate all semi-automatic weapons:

Would you limit the ban and confiscation to semi-auto rifles or would you extend the ban to semi-auto handguns also, seeing as they’re illegally used many times over more in crimes such as homicide?
Rep. Eric Swalwell ✔ @RepSwalwell1,116 people are talking about this
Fair question. Rifles. They’re more powerful and cause more carnage when used with a pistol-grip. See @ScottPelley @60Minutes piece. To reduce semi-auto pistol deaths I’d have universal background checks and mandatory reporting on mental health.

Swalwell later threatened to use government to kill, nuke and jail citizens who do not comply.
Congressman Thomas Massie
Yesterday, one of my colleagues suggested on twitter that if armed citizens resisted his gun confiscation proposal, the US government would nuke them. He says his reference to nukes was sarcasm in response to a dramatic tweet. However, he is still very serious about his proposal to confiscate 15 million firearms by force.
Will folks quit saying “no one wants to take your guns” now that we have a US representative who says he wants to take your guns?

By Benjy Sarlin
WASHINGTON — A Democratic congressman has proposed outlawing “military-style semiautomatic assault weapons” and forcing existing owners to sell their weapons or face prosecution, a major departure from prior gun control proposals that typically exempt existing firearms.
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.”
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.
Swalwell addressed these arguments directly, saying he and other Democrats had been too deferential to Second Amendment activists and should follow the lead of teenage survivors of the Parkland shooting who have been more strident.
“There's something new and different about the surviving Parkland high schoolers’ demands,” he wrote. “They dismiss the moral equivalence we’ve made for far too long regarding the Second Amendment. I've been guilty of it myself, telling constituents and reporters that 'we can protect the Second Amendment and protect lives.’”
Instead, he writes, “the right to live is supreme over any other.”
According to Swalwell, his policy is modeled on Australia’s mandatory gun buyback laws, which were instituted under a conservative government after a gunman killed 35 people at a popular tourist site in 1996. Supporters credit the campaign with a broad reduction in gun violence and the country hasn’t suffered a similar mass shooting in the years since.
“Australia got it right,” Swalwell wrote.
While politicians and activists, including President Barack Obama, have cited Australia’s success in curbing gun violence as an inspiration, almost no prominent figures have proposed instituting similar laws up to this point.
Some gun safety groups, such as the Giffords Law Center, have suggested tougher background checks and reporting requirements on existing assault weapons after a new manufacturing ban — but they have not called for owners to sell or destroy them. Many policy experts supportive of stricter gun laws have warned a mass gun confiscation policy would be difficult to enforce given limited federal resources and the widespread popularity of the affected rifles.
"I think it's pretty clear from the program we do support that it's about keeping guns out of dangerous hands and not about confiscating guns," Kris Brown, co-president of the Brady Campaign, which advocates against gun violence, told NBC News in March.
