California Democrat Eric Swalwell is running for president, and has announced that he’ll be focusing on gun control with a platform of confiscation. Law-abiding gun owners who don’t go along would face jail under Swalwell’s proposal. But it seems that doesn’t go far enough for German Lopez, the criminal justice, guns and drugs correspondent for the far-left media outlet Vox.

Swalwell said he’d like to confiscate only “certain” weapons, especially those he feels are too scary for the average American to own.

But Lopez said he wants ALL semiautomatic firearms confiscated.

NRA Twitter is losing its mind with “how is Swalwell going to take guns from law-abiding owners.” SPOILER: I’m not. I’m organizing with the Moms & students, and we’re going to CHANGE the law. Weapons of war will be no more. #BanandBuyBack #EndGunViolence

Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?

Yes

Note to Swalwell: So-called “weapons of war” are already illegal… What Swalwell really means are guns that LOOK like something that might be carried in combat.

Lopez, however, didn’t like Swalwell’s proposal.

Of course, New Zealand doesn’t have a Second Amendment…

So, what would Lopez do? Here ya go:

Naturally, this didn’t sit too well.

That’s almost all guns manufactured and sold for the past 40 years. And all guns used by LE.
Good luck with that.

Wouldn't "East German Lopez" be a better name for you? (Here's a helpful link to what East Germany was, because by a) looking at you and b) the fact you work for Vox, I'm sure you have no clue about, well, basically anything). https://t.co/FSpbXGTUZ1

By “we” I’m sure you don’t mean you personally. You & your man-bag wouldn’t get past the first name on your list. #dreamon #nevergonnahappen #2A #manbag

Will you be the one coming to collect mine? Or do you plan to order others to do it. pic.twitter.com/mhxqTuHhPv

Good question. And good luck with that.

We can’t help but wonder who would go first to grab them? Lopez or Swalwell?

And it seems the last time a government tried to do something like that here, it ended in a revolution…
