This is a pretty chilling Twitter exchange.
So you know where he's coming from, Swalwell is one of those crazy leftists that Tucker Carlson has on when he needs an easy target. Even though he referred to the use of nukes against gun owners to enforce an assault weapons ban, I think everyone understands that what he meant was that the government has lots of ways to force confiscation. However, I feel he crossed a line. In my interpretation, he revealed his true beliefs; he revealed that he feels the government would be justified in using overwhelming deadly force to confiscate guns.
His kind of thinking will get good people killed on all sides of the issue. Yes, he tried to walk it back almost immediately by calling the people who recoiled from his comments "dramatic" but the damage was done. I really hope his presidential aspirations died right there.
If not, I suppose his campaign slogan could be:
