U.S.A. –-(Ammoland.com)- You may have heard about Congressman Eric Swalwell in the news lately. He is a native Iowan who represents the San Francisco Bay Area in the United States Congress, and he happens to be the most aggressive gun control advocate in Washington. He’s become famous for his call to involuntarily buyback all ‘assault weapons’ and criminally prosecute those who fail to turn in their weapons. From his op-ed in USA Today:
“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.“
Rep. Swalwell has received more attention this week after his interview with Tucker Carlson on Fox News advocating for a full ban and criminalization of semi-automatic weapons:
So why does this matter?
For the last several weeks, we’ve been trying to get former Iowa Moms Demand Action leader and Iowa Senate candidate Amber Gustafson on the record about a “full assault weapons ban” that is being championed by Iowa Gubernatorial candidate Cathy Glasson.
Cathy Glasson is a Moms Demand Action endorsed “Gun Sense” candidate who is not shy about her desire to ban so-called “assault weapons” in Iowa. Amber Gustafson also holds the “Gun Sense” candidate badge of honor and is frequently recognized by national media as a mom running to represent Bloomberg’s gun control organization. Amber has even received hundreds of dollars directly from anti-gun leader Shannon Watts.
BUT…
Every time she’s asked about her fellow “Gun Sense Candidate” Cathy Glasson’s proposed ban all you hear from Amber is the sound of cricket’s chirping.
HERE’S WHY IT MATTERS
Even though she doesn’t dare speak publicly about her gun banning ambitions, Amber’s more than happy to invite the original co-sponsor of the Assault Weapon Ban of 2018 to headline her campaign fundraisers. Vicky Brenner, who is running against Senator Julian Garrett to represent the Madison and Warren County area and Amber Gustafson of Ankeny both invited a bay area gun confiscation advocate to Iowa to headline their event.
Even though Amber is too scared to talk openly and honestly about her gun control ambitions, the fact that she is using San Francisco politicians to bring California style gun control to Iowa speaks volumes about her intentions in the Iowa Senate.
Firearm owners in Iowa CANNOT allow the head of the gun control movement in our state to gain a seat in the legislature.
The Iowa Firearms Coalition is the only group taking it to the gun control lobby in Iowa. No one in this state is doing more to keep gun grabbers out of the legislature than IFC.
As we roll into campaign season, we need funds to put reliable, pro-gun candidates back in office.
Please donate to IFC-PAC and know that 100% of every single penny that you give goes to fighting the gun control lobby.
Gun grabbers like Amber Gustafson get a significant amount of support from outside of Iowa. The out-of-state gun control lobby thinks they can overpower the freedom loving people of Iowa. That’s why it’s imperative that you help IFC-PAC mount a counter-offensive and fight back against the out of state elitists that think they can silence gun owners in Iowa!
Like what you see? Join the only organization in Iowa that is fighting back and reporting what these gun control candidates are trying to do in Iowa!
Please share this message and word of our coalition to liberty-minded Iowans who would oppose Rep. Swalwell’s agenda in Iowa.
Democrats and their followers don’t care about America we known for the last 242 yrs. They want a New America that the Democrat Party wants to make that follows their beliefs. One party rule party first party always the party is always right.
Would someone educate me on the definition of assault weapon?
I have always known that AR stood for Armalite Rifle. Armalite Corporation Genesco, Illinois.
A division of Fairchild Engine and Airplane Corporation.
The term assault rifle is generally attributed to Adolf Hitler, who for propaganda purposes used the German word “Sturmgewehr” (which translates to “storm rifle” or “assault rifle”), as the new name for the MP43, subsequently known as the Sturmgewehr 44 or StG 44.
Seems to me that history is repeating itself, in the present day mental morons of history.
@RJL, Those are my understandings, too. But we must not presume that our opponents are morons. They are clever and professional propagandists, well funded, and tireless. They have offices, internet monitors, and even low level prevaricators to this site, occasionally.
@ Wild Bill; Let me Rephrase this, Enemies of The United States of America, the enemies’ within.
@R. J.L., Yes, I quite agree, and a good recitation of the history of the term AR etc., too. We still must not underestimate our enemies within, moronic as they appear.
How about a definition of WTF “Military-style semi-automatic weapons” are? The M1 Garand is a .30 caliber, semi-automatic weapon that was used by our military. It fires a more powerful bullet (.308 or 30-06) than the gun-grabbers most-hated rifle, the AR-15. However, it might be included because it’s a semiautomatic “military-style” weapon or not included at all because it isn’t a scary black rifle. For that matter, the Ruger Mini-14 which is functionally equivalent to the AR-15 might also be excluded because it looks like a hunting rifle and was never used in warfare. Hell, they could ban a Ruger… Read more »
Ch’ya. What differences does it make if you get hit by a lightning bolt or vaporized in a nuclear explosion but either way yer axle’s greased and that’s fer sure.
All you have to do is watch him and listen to him to find out that he is one fry short of a happy meal or that he is not the sharpest pencil in the box. Dare say he moved from Iowa to an area more suited to his mental shortcomings. He is a pure idiot and displays it.
BUT,,,but, wasn’t it a Liberal Dimoratic president that Threatened all our Schools “TO NOT ENFORCE their RULES”…..then THREATENED Law Enforcement “TO NOT ENFORCE OUR LAWS”? Now WE have the Results of THAT LAWLESSNESS, Murdered Children and Teachers! Obama gave US “School to GRAVEYARD PIPELINE” in place of school to prison pipeline which was keeping THUGS of ANY COLOR out of OUR SCHOOLS AND SOME IN PRISON where they belong. And NOW they want to take Firearms OUT of the hands of LAW ABIDING CITIZENS, AS IF THAT’LL STOP THE THUGS AND MENTAL ILL that trying to KILL ANY AND ALL… Read more »
He is a enemy of the USA. Hope people learn this before it’s to late
Lets see I have a firearm. You sir dont want me to have it.
Im not going to surrender it or my freedoms to you are anyone.
Your move. Im your Huckleberry.
Tell Swalwell and the rest of the Commie Democrats that we’re coming after them and bringing Hell with us (Hollywood-style).
All Socialists, Marxists, Communists, need to be removed and or eliminated from the United States of America. Would someone educate me on the definition of assault weapon? I have always known that AR stood for Armalite Rifle. Armalite Corporation Genesco, Illinois. A division of Fairchild Engine and Airplane Corporation.

“I have always known that AR stood for Armalite Rifle. Armalite Corporation Genesco, Illinois. A division of Fairchild Engine and Airplane Corporation.” And subsequently purchased by Colt’s Patent Firearms Manufacturing Company of Hartford, Connecticut on February 19, 1959. The original weapon that Eugene Stoner had developed for use by our military was the AR-10 which fired the same rounds as the M1 Garand and the 7.62 x 51 round used by NATO. The AR-15 whose firing system was derived from the AR-10 but to fire the much smaller .223 caliber rounds (basically a .22 caliber bullet stuffed in a big… Read more »
Raising money for other party members is known as “carrying water for the party”. This anti-civil Rights jerk has plans for higher office. If many party members owe him allegiance, then he can get himself voted Speaker, or majority whip, or minority whip. Maybe he plans to replace Pelosi as Speaker if the House goes DNC in November.
We better get out the vote.
More like Swallowswell…. Typical Dem/lib non informed POS.
This quack is a total moron who crossed his fingers while taking his oath.he and those like him are the real reason for the 2ndAmendment and the rest.shameful and disgusting.
What a worthless humanoid.Him an that Waters would be a great pair.Neither one knows nothing.Who are these people that vote these humanoids in office.They can’t have a shaft for the elevator to get to the top. I mean sometimes I just think what kind of person would vote for someone like them two.when you hear them talk they seem like they don’t even like the USA.So what are they doing in the position they are in.It has to be to try over throwing government or getting rid of the whole constitution or parts they don’t like.
Of course he want to take guns from the common folks all the while he stands behind his Secret Service Body Guards paid for by the same common folks tax dollars. This asshole should be impeached and lose his pension and benefits.
This former Iowan is an idiot who fits in good in with San Francisco and their unconstitutional laws.
I’m sure he fits in real good in the liberal land of fruits, nuts and flakes of which San Francisco is the unofficial capital of. Makes you have to wonder…..Is this moron a fruit, nut or flake, or all of the above? If Iowa falls for the tricks of a gun-banning dumbocrat and goes full-on California ANTI-GUN libtard, we all could be doomed. It’s reminiscent of Mao Tse T’ung’s disarming the Chinese peasantry that put him in power. Then killing off those after they eventually realized their mistake. TOO LATE! And how would I know that? I had ancestors that… Read more »
molon labe. stupid communist`s ! there could be serious unintended consequences for the gun grabbers. Gentlemen, we are in a civil war, as of yet, just rhetoric. This is typical Communist behavior. When all else fails,they will use violence. The unthinkable is that these gun ban people are willing to kill. They belive,and they are right,that it is imperative that we be totally disarmed. They know,as you&I, no gun ban will stop the so called gun violence. A totalitarian state is their unstated goal.Our being armed stops them from an immediate take over. Therefore,I say to you Communist`s who read… Read more »
u numba one, gi
They are not willing to kill they are ready for a government employee to do it for them. They are not ready to die for their belief, but ready for a government employee to die for them. They are cowards through and through.
Just another idiot who doesn’t know that AR is Armalite Rifle and not Assault Rifle
Didn’t this Government Rep Take an “Oath of Office”? I wonder what kind of oath it was ?
Took the oath to follow the commie ways of the dumbocrat party , and the sad part is we pay these losers to screw us
This guy deserves the Red Foreman award!
It never fails, when confronted with the truth about the capital police (aka) his Congressional body guards he changes the subject, and tries to say Tucker is against cops. What a jackass!
