  <description>&lt;p&gt;Democratic Rep. Eric Swalwell (CA) wrote an op-ed at USA Today where he called for a mandatory gun buy-back on "assault weapons." In his headline, he also stated that America should go after, "resisters."&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;When Twitter users pushed back against this idea, Rep. Swalwell chided them, saying the US government has "nukes," so it's not like Americans could fight back.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Tony Katz takes a look at this idea, and explains how Rep. Swalwell has never thought through his idea. Tony explains the pitfalls, impossibilities and flat-out madness of his ugly, anti-American idea. Then, Tony takes us down the 'what if?' road. If Rep. Swalwell tried to take America's guns, here's the dystopian reality he would bring to the nation. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;And, Amazon Echo is listening to you, and may have listened to a murder.  &lt;/p&gt;
