I'm all for this if it is changed to $2K cash, then I can buy four for each one I turn in. :)
Congressional Democrats have a grand scheme to make America’s streets safer; incentivize people cannibalize to their Second Amendment rights for tax credits. Rep. Rosa DeLauro (D-Conn.) will introduce the Support Assault Firearm Elimination and Education of our Streets Act, which will do just that (via the Hill):
“Assault weapons are not about hunting, or even self-defense,” DeLauro said. “There is no reason on earth, other than to kill as many people as possible in as short a time as possible, that anyone needs a gun designed for a battlefield.”
Though DeLauro is in favor of stronger guns laws that would completely ban assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition, she emphasized this bill would not force gun owners to turn in their firearms.
The legislation would provide up to $2,000 in tax credits for gun owners who voluntarily hand over assault weapons to their local police departments.

One side gets the capability and uses against the other, less capable, inhabitants. Attrocities don't stop because someone tells them the error of their ways. Attrocities stop when those being victimized fight back with greater force. We see this every day. How is it so easy for people in the USA to ignore this simple truth?

DeleteWhy shouldn't they if they have nothing to hide?
So, if you turn in your personal property, that you bought with your own money, you will be "allowed" to keep some of your own money.
ReplyDeleteYeah, that makes sense in the diseased liberal mind.
