Swalwell slammed for video pushing 'assault weapons' ban after mass shootings: 'Go home, commie'
Fox News
Democratic Rep. Eric Swalwell was ripped by conservatives on social media for pushing an "assault weapons" ban in the wake of two fatal shootings this week.
"Here’s what we have to do, we have to ban assault weapons," Swalwell continued. "We have to buy them all back. We have to make sure the most dangerous weapons never end up in the hands of the most dangerous people. We must choose our kids, our children, the most precious people in our community, we must choose them over their killers. It’s very binary, either you choose them or you don’t."

Swalwell’s push for gun control in the wake of the tragedies drew immediate pushback from conservatives on social media.
