WASHINGTON A Democratic congressman has proposed outlawing military-style semiautomatic assault weapons and forcing existing owners to sell their weapons or face prosecution, a major departure from prior gun control proposals that typically exempt existing firearms.

In a USA Today op-ed entitled Ban assault weapons, buy them back, go after resisters, Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., argued Thursday that prior proposals to ban assault weapons would leave millions of assault weapons in our communities for decades to come.

Swalwell proposes that the government should offer up to $1,000 for every weapon covered by a new ban, estimating that it would take $15 billion to buy back roughly 15 million weapons and criminally prosecute any who choose to defy [the buyback] by keeping their weapons.

"One person wants to tale your guns."


According to Swalwell, his policy is modeled on Australias mandatory gun buyback laws, which were instituted under a conservative government after a gunman killed 35 people at a popular tourist site in 1996. Supporters credit the campaign with a broad reduction in gun violence and the country hasnt suffered a similar mass shooting in the years since.

Australia got it right, Swalwell wrote.

While politicians and activists, including President Barack Obama, have cited Australias success in curbing gun violence as an inspiration, almost no prominent figures have proposed instituting similar laws up to this point.


You mean only one Democrat has had the balls to say it out loud, as clearly many of them like this idea.

Liberals are pretending they don't want to take away firearms. It's dishonesty, considering their party is literally doing anything it can to subvert the 2nd amendment at this point. Democrats like this congressman will just become more vocal as their naive millennial constituents empower them.

buyback program


They've done similar programs in the past to dig up some guns off the street. It's not even a drop in the bucket but still a good effort to get some obviously "floating" firearms off the street.

But people are not going to turn in their nice firearms. That's just silly talk.

Yeah it's amazing how brainwashed people are. so willing to give up their rights because the elitists tell them to.

The same elitists who live in gated neighborhoods and have armed guards. Because you know only they can have the right to bear arms and protect themselves everyone else is just a peasant second class citizen who should give up their constitutional right because they said so.
