Rep. Eric Swalwell, the perpetually outraged California Democrat who’s traded congressional hot air for a gubernatorial run, has dropped a bombshell vow: if elected governor, he’ll strip driver’s licenses from ICE agents. Yes, you read that right—the same guy who once cried about an AR-15 pointed at him from 30,000 feet up now wants to hobble federal immigration enforcers by turning their commutes into Uber ordeals. This isn’t just petty politics; it’s a peek into the authoritarian playbook of the anti-law-enforcement left, where defunding borders means disarming the people who guard them, one DMV card at a time.

For the 2A community, this is a flashing red warning light on the road to Sacramento’s nanny-state dystopia. Swalwell’s history of gun-grabbing zeal—pushing bans on assault weapons, standard-capacity magazines, and even demonizing everyday rifle owners—pairs perfectly with this ICE vendetta. Imagine the implications: if he’s cool with revoking basic privileges like driving from feds he dislikes, what’s stopping him from extending that logic to concealed carry permits for law-abiding gun owners? California’s already a hellscape of permit denials, AWB registries, and rogue sheriffs ignoring state preemption; Swalwell as governor would turbocharge it, potentially mirroring tactics against Second Amendment rights. It’s the same public safety excuse used to justify red flag laws and ghost gun regs—target the enforcers first, then the citizens.

The 2A faithful should see this for what it is: a trial balloon for broader disarmament. Swalwell’s not just anti-ICE; he’s anti-anyone upholding federal authority that clashes with his sanctuary-state fever dreams. Rally the troops, California patriots—vote like your carry permit depends on it, because under this clown, it just might. If he pulls this off, expect Swalwell Stops at every checkpoint, where your FOID card gets the same treatment as an ICE agent’s license. Stay vigilant; the Second Amendment’s bulwark against tyrants like this starts at the ballot box.
