Dem Congressman: Force Gun Owners To Get Rid Of Assault Weapons Or Face Prosecution

[NBC Via Weazsl Zippers] 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.

#4 Can we silence his First Amendment Rights to speak in public as Hate Speech™ as easily as he can deny other people the Second Amendment right to own "scary, black assault weapons"? Or is that ... Different, because SHUT UP, Peasant!
