In yet another glaring display of hypocrisy, multiple Democrat lawmakers—many of whom are strong advocates for disarming law-abiding Americans—have been caught using violent rhetoric against billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk. These same Democrats, who push for extreme gun control measures, seem to have no problem openly threatening harm against those they disagree with.
Hypocrisy of the Gun-Grabbing Left
It’s no secret that Democrats, particularly those endorsed by the Giffords gun control group, have long worked to strip Americans of their Second Amendment rights. Figures like Robert Garcia (D-CA), Eric Swalwell (D-CA), and others closely aligned with anti-gun advocacy groups have consistently supported measures such as semi-automatic weapon bans, universal gun registration schemes, and magazine capacity restrictions. But when it comes to their political opponents, these same lawmakers have no issue calling for outright violence.
Recently, Rep. Robert Garcia made headlines by declaring that Americans should “bring actual weapons” to what he called a “fight for democracy.” The chilling remark, which was directed at Musk and his efforts to push back against government censorship, sent shockwaves through the political landscape. Meanwhile, the Biden Administration and left-wing media outlets have largely ignored or downplayed these threats, refusing to hold Democrats to the same standard they demand of conservatives.
Eric Swalwell’s History of Threats
This is hardly the first time a high-profile Democrat has casually suggested violence. Eric Swalwell, one of the most vocal anti-gun lawmakers in Congress, infamously threatened to use nuclear weapons against Americans who refuse to comply with gun control measures. In a 2018 Twitter exchange, Swalwell made it clear that a government crackdown on gun owners would be swift and overwhelming, mocking those who believe in the right to self-defense against tyranny.
Swalwell’s comments epitomize the left’s double standard: they claim to fear gun violence yet openly discuss the use of military force against civilians who exercise their constitutional rights. It begs the question—if Democrats are so convinced that guns make America unsafe, why do they consistently advocate for violence against their political opponents?
The Left’s Dangerous Rhetoric and Assassination Attempts on Trump
The escalating hostility from the left isn’t just empty rhetoric—it has real-world consequences. Dangerous Democratic rhetoric has already led to multiple assassination attempts against President Donald Trump.
Trump survived an assassination attempt in July 2024 during a Pennsylvania rally and later faced another attempt while golfing in Florida. In both instances, deranged individuals—fueled by the violent rhetoric of Democratic officials and their media allies—sought to take the former President’s life. Yet, despite clear evidence that left-wing extremism is driving political violence, the mainstream media continues to focus its attention on supposed right-wing threats while ignoring the left’s escalating aggression.
An Armed Society is a Polite Society
This dangerous double standard should serve as a wake-up call for gun owners across America. Democrats aren’t just pushing unconstitutional gun control—they are making it clear that they do not believe in political tolerance or peaceful discourse. Instead, they are inciting violence while trying to strip away the only means of defense available to law-abiding citizens.
If anything, these events reinforce an undeniable truth: an armed society is a polite society. Law-abiding gun owners must remain vigilant and prepared because history has proven time and again that those who seek to control others are often the first to resort to violence when their power is threatened.
With the 2024 elections behind us, the fight for the Second Amendment is far from over. Every gun owner in America must stay engaged, hold elected officials accountable, and continue defending the fundamental rights that ensure freedom and security for all.
