We never get tired of repeating it, especially when 2020 candidate Eric Swalwell tweets about guns and the NRA, but this is the guy who tweeted “it would be a very short war” if gun owners ever tried fighting gun confiscation, ’cause the government has legit nukes. Yes, his message to all those Second Amendment “extremists” out there clinging to their guns was to threaten them with even greater firepower.
He really, really tries to come across as tough on social media and in cable TV appearances, but this guy really is a joke. Kamala Harris has already upstaged him on his pet issue of gun control, but damn it, after the shooting at Congregation Chabad of Poway, he told off the president and said he’d be taking action.
Thoughts and prayers to all of those affected by the shooting at the Synagogue in Poway, California. God bless you all. Suspect apprehended. Law enforcement did outstanding job. Thank you!

Spare us your thoughts and prayers. It’s an alibi for inaction. You told the NRA yesterday you’d keep dangerous guns in the hands of dangerous people. We will take it from here with action. https://t.co/YrCMhuIhk0

Dude, just stop. Enjoy that 0 percent showing in the polls while it lasts.
By the way, you do know you just said you were mourning and … praying.
Houses of worship are supposed to be safe havens in our communities. However, with unrestricted weaponry in America, they are no longer. Mourning those lost today in Poway, CA and praying for those who have been injured. We will honor them with action.

Spare us your prayers, Swalwell.
Shut up, ya pud.

The thoughts and prayers would not be for you anyway, you attention seeking asshat.

F**k you. You will do nothing. And tell me more about unrestricted weaponry. You see many M16s?

What a piece of crap attitude that is. You aren't taking anything anywhere.

Trump said nothing of the sort and he knows it. He just also knows his dozens of supporters are too stupid to know any better. https://t.co/P8Rj5jftjN

I get that this is the left’s favorite line to justify using tragedies to push an unrelated policy agenda, but it’s especially offensive to use it when responding to an attack on people who were praying.
Prayers clearly matter to these victims. https://t.co/1vGDfaFKoa

What were people doing at a Synagogue, Eric? https://t.co/gyqwMsuYBw

Would have been nice if you and the rest of the Democrats could have unequivocally condemned Anti-Semitism a few weeks ago, but you couldn't now we are here. Your silence in the face of Anti-Semitism speaks volumes.

Religious bigot lying thru his teeth. He has no honor.

I think we've had enough religious bigotry and hate for the day but thanks Swalwell.

I’ve been looking all over the NRA’s website for their pro-murder stance haven’t been able to find it. If you could send me a link that would be great—thx.

Dude, throw in a dry towel because there are wet towels with a better chance.

Have you suspended your campaign yet? I'm betting you'll be the first to so to save your seat on Congress.

When the shooting stops there will always be brave politicians that step forward that vow to remove guns from the hands of a free people.
It's about power. Nothing more.

But the nukes Eric.

Spare us your sanctimony. You're just another trash bag politician.

You too have my thoughts and prayers.
