He better bring an Army with him ...
Read the comments on his Facebook page, what a hoot!

I am sure that this guy has done thorough research and concluded that the military which skews red and second amendment fans will comply and go to war to eradicate gun owners. Dunno why they think that if it came down to that the military would support them en mass.
Yeah he's an idiot for saying it but at the same time plenty of people here responded to it as though it was imminent.
California Democrat Threatens "Nukes" If Americans Don't Hand Over Their Guns

It’s pretty clear that his comment was absurd and out of line.
However, the best way to shut up a grabber (say at thanksgiving dinner) isn’t debating how confiscation would go but to rather let them know just how uninformed they are.
Simply ask them to define what an assault weapon is. If they stutter over that question, offer an easy multiple choice test: which gun has NEVER been issued by any branch of the US Military, making it very objectively not “military style”?
A) Mossberg 590 A1 “pump shotgun”
B) Glock 19 “polymer pistol”
C) AR15 “fully semi automatic”
D) Beretta 92 “Italian pistol”
E) Remington 700 “hunting rifle”
They want us to talk about civil war because it makes us look crazy, justifying their underlying goal of confiscation.
Swalwell (D-CA) is Adam Schiff's mini-me on the House Intel Committee, and is equally delusional. He has appeared on Tucker Carlson's show, insisting that he has seen the evidence of Trump's collusion with Putin, but that it's classified and we just have to believe him.
He lived in Maryland for awhile and was educated by the University of Maryland.
