We’ve said it before, but 2020 is going to be lit. As Twitchy reported earlier, Rep. Eric Swalwell — the congressman who told gun owners that any uprising against the government could be put down with nukes — has decided to jump into the race and focus on gun control as his pet issue. That should backfire spectacularly, no pun intended.

Don’t forget, though, that would-be motivational speaker Cory Booker is still out there trying to get to that one percentage point in the polls, and he says he’s part of the movement to take the NRA down. Seems he didn’t appreciate being the subject of an NRATV video:

"@CoryBooker… when you push laws that take away guns from law-abiding citizens, the only people who will have them will be the criminals." –@MrColionNoir #NRA pic.twitter.com/FmEJqtNpSq — NRATV (@NRATV) April 3, 2019

It looks like the NRA heard us loud and clear. But its positions are tired, and the movement to take it down will not be discouraged. https://t.co/vO1yolAQS7 — Cory Booker (@CoryBooker) April 3, 2019

“The movement to take it down.” Yes, Sen. Booker, when a presidential candidate is threatening citizens’ Second Amendment rights, the NRA is going to take notice. Noir let Booker know that he’d meet him at a CNN town hall just like Dana Loesch’s show trial a week after the Parkland shooting.

.@CoryBooker It’s easy for both of us to bark in videos but it takes real belief in our positions to expose them to the scrutiny of critical discussion. @DLoesch walked into the belly of the beast during the @CNN town hall & did just that you & I should do the same. What say u? https://t.co/3WE24JY5wH — Colion Noir (@MrColionNoir) April 4, 2019

Come on, CNN, let’s do this thing … everyone knows you need the ratings.

DO IT!!!!!! — Mr Tom (@MrTom419) April 4, 2019

Really hope this happens — Julian Pittarelli (@JPittarelli) April 4, 2019

@CoryBooker is scared to debate you on an even playing field. He knows he would get wrecked. — Wag the NagDog (@NagDog) April 4, 2019

He will fold a cheap suit! #TBone — Militant Normal 100% (@UglyTuna213) April 4, 2019

He’s gutless… just like @AOC. They talk a big game, but when invited to an actual 2-sided debate, they go silent or cry “catcalling” ? — Moonz?? (@MOONER75) April 4, 2019

I’ll say it again. Keep after him Colion, but he’ll never do it. — Anthony Brent (@AnthonyBrent16) April 4, 2019

He doesn’t have the guts. — CWF (@floridalass) April 4, 2019

Ding, Ding! Round 1. — Brad Gamble (@BradJGamble) April 4, 2019

Guns are made for defense.

Only criminals use guns for offense.

Don't take away guns.

Take away the criminals. — WhatDoesGodWantMe2Do (@DoesMe2) April 4, 2019

Speaking of Loesch, that “take it down” comment from Booker didn’t go unnoticed by her, either.

What is this “take it down” stuff you always say, @CoryBooker ? The organization you target is simply millions of average Americans who fellowship under the common belief in 2A. Are you talking of abridging our right to speech? Assemble? I’ve asked you several times to elaborate. https://t.co/LBKJ3K2gqr — Dana Loesch (@DLoesch) April 4, 2019

Indeed, @CoryBooker

We all wait with baited breath. — Valeria, the Younger (@valeria_younger) April 4, 2019

Dana, you're better off talking to the wall… — HudsonRiverView (@HudsonRiver42) April 4, 2019

He’s a coward. Would rather talk through people than directly. — Carla Tanner (@cjtanner99) April 4, 2019

I’m the NRA! — Steve “Les Baer 1911” Eppler (@steven_eppler) April 4, 2019

I am NRA @CoryBooker come and talk your shit to me! — bart burr (@bburr59) April 4, 2019

Sounds like he's not honoring his oath to uphold the Constitution of the United States. — PowderBurnt (@PowderBurnt) April 4, 2019

Again, Booker is a blabbering moron who thinks he’s a tough guy but has no agenda whatsoever. Just noise with no purpose. — Ray Smesko (@ray_smesko) April 4, 2019

Just noise with no purpose — well said.
