Swalwell responds to making the cover of NRA magazine http://hill.cm/owY1gzE
Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Ca.) tweeted Wednesday that being on the cover of an NRA magazine that dubbed him a "gas bag in the House" shows that he is "living in the NRA's head."
"Living in the NRAs head & on the cover of their magazine! But they mischaracterized my position," Swalwell wrote.
"My plan to ban assault weapons is not hollow. Its very real & the public is with me. And sorry, the 1st Freedom is not unregulated gun ownership. Its life. #EnoughIsEnough"
(The NRA's official journal) referenced a tweet from Swalwell in which he responded to someone claiming that there would be a "war" if the government tried to confiscate guns that "it would be a short war my friend. The government has nukes."
"A hollow threat against gun owners nonetheless betrays the bad intentions of gun-grabbers who have taken over the House," the NRA wrote of Swalwell.
