Yesterday, Democratic Rep. Eric Swalwell engaged in a super-cerebral gun control thought exercise:

Just imagine, what if gun manufacturers were just as responsible as @volvocars? What if they recognized assault weapons have no useful role in our communities and stopped making them? Don’t they have a conscience? Or are they motivated purely by greed? #EnoughIsEnough https://t.co/JSluoYU6dY — Rep. Eric Swalwell (@RepSwalwell) March 4, 2019

This tweeter had some thoughts of his own about that:

Swalwell returned fire with quite the clapback:

Cool gun. You know what’s cooler? The dreams of children. I’ll fight to keep those alive. #EnoughIsEnough https://t.co/MROHAKfBZu — Rep. Eric Swalwell (@RepSwalwell) March 4, 2019

Unfortunately, Swalwell wasn’t banking on GOP Rep. Dan Crenshaw to enter the fray with this mini-nuke:

Right, unless keeping them alive interferes with “reproductive freedom”. #BornAliveAct https://t.co/FVIaaqPU1O — Dan Crenshaw (@DanCrenshawTX) March 5, 2019

We heard that mic drop all the way from here.

I'm here for this brand of twitter beef. — Matthew Dutko (@MatthewDutko) March 5, 2019

Same.

Thank you, Rep. Crenshaw, for always defending life.
