He&#8217;s even went and made an agitprop video featuring, among other things, full auto M-16s with the obvious intent to conflate them with civilian semi-auto AR-15s.<\/p>\n<p>Disingenuous, thy name is &#8220;Swalwell.&#8221; The State of Maryland decreed all scary-looking rifles must be registered by a certain date for everyone to &#8220;feel&#8221; safer, especially those out there not having the benefit of being purchased in Maryland and therefore not already in the system. Several people actually conformed with the draconian law; untold thousands did not. To date, not one scofflaw has been even accused, much less arrested and convicted, under this unconstitutional law.<\/p>\n<p>Which exposes the gaping hole in Eric&#8217;s stand- how does one go about confiscating rifles when you don&#8217;t know where the are and who has them?<\/p>\n<p><strong>AWR Hawkins<\/strong>, who is rapidly becoming my favorite author, opines: <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Democrat presidential hopeful Eric Swalwell says he will let Americans keep their pistols and shotguns but AR-15s and other commonly owned semiautomatic rifles have got to go.<\/p>\n<p>Swalwell explains his plan via a <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ericswalwell\/status\/1137899035879247872\">Campaign Video <\/a> which is largely a compilation of different gun control proponents making unsubstantiated claims regarding AR-15s.<\/p>\n<p>For example, the video shows a fully automatic rifle being fired in a war zone, as voice over says, \u201cThe sames gun being used for wars, like in Afghanistan, are now in the streets.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>By talking about the AR-15 while showing video of a machine gun in action, the video gives the impression that AR-15s are fully automatic. In reality, AR-15s and other commonly owned semiautomatic rifles fire one bullet\u2013and one bullet only\u2013with each pull of the trigger, whereas actual weapons of war can fire an entire magazine of bullets with one pull of the trigger.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Swalwell appears near the end of the video, saying, \u201cI say keep your hunting rifles, keep  your pistols, keep your shotguns, but let\u2019s ban and buyback every single \u2018assault weapon\u2019 in America.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>How are those poll numbers looking?
