Dems: Pay gun owners to hand over assault weapons
Hahahahaha !!! They NEVER QUIT
http://thehill.com/regulation/legisl...assault-rifles
Gun owners would receive tax breaks for voluntarily turning in high-powered assault rifles under new legislation proposed Monday.
The Support Assault Firearm Elimination and Education of our (SAFER) Streets Act expected to be reintroduced next week by Rep. Rosa DeLauro (D-Conn.) would provide gun owners with an incentive to turn in their firearms to local police departments.
“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.
The assault weapons legislation comes in response to the horrific mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., DeLauro’s home state, in December 2012.
DeLauro originally introduced the bill in January 2013, just one month after the Newtown shooting, but the legislation fell short in the Republican-controlled House. She plans to reintroduce it next week when Congress returns from recess.
She said the bill would help “get more assault weapons off the streets."
“Just days after the Newtown tragedy, President Obama asked, ‘Are we doing enough to protect our children?’ And he admitted the answer is, ‘no.’ That must change,” DeLauro said.
DeLauro is announcing the assault weapons legislation this week in conjunction with National Public Health Week.
The co-sponsors include Reps. Betty McCollum (D-Minn.), Raúl Grijalva (D-Ariz.), Elijah Cummings (D-Md.), Keith Ellison (D-Minn.), Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.), and David Cicilline (D-R.I.).Its easier to fool people than to convince them they've been fooled....Mark Twain

Re: Dems: Pay gun owners to hand over assault weapons
Yes, this is most certainly an issue of public health. I also like the use of "up to $2,000" tax credit. Meaning they will give pennies on the dollar and fractions of the actual value of the rifle. Maybe we can all trade our assault weapons and ghost bullet clipazines in for free Obamacare!!

I wish I had some "high capacity ammunition". All my ammo is single-capacity.

So, they're gonna tax the shit out of everyone, unless they hand over their weapons. That sounds like a stick up.

Re: Dems: Pay gun owners to hand over assault weapons
My rifles are only low to medium powered. I guess I don't qualify for the high powered rifle trade-in program.

Re: Dems: Pay gun owners to hand over assault weapons
Doesn't she know that most of the people shooting up the streets already get back everything they pay in to federal tax (if not more)??? That is, assuming they have a legitimate source of income of course.
If they don't have a legitimate source of income, they wouldn't be filing taxes anyway.... So this bill will do ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!!When you are called a racist, it just means you won an argument with an Obama supporter.

Great. I have an M&P15T that I've been thinking about selling. If they wanted to give me 3x the market value, I could buy a proper high-powered assault rifle, not some wimpy little 5.56.

Re: Dems: Pay gun owners to hand over assault weapons
I love how they associate these weapons to the battlefield and how they have no purpose here. Perhaps they plan on poking the bear a bit too much and it has them worried.

Re: Dems: Pay gun owners to hand over assault weapons
Well if this idiot Rosa DeLauro is the one who will be receiving the guns then sure, for a nice tax credit I'd turn in my AR-15 below as I don't use this one much.
As an added plus I'd also get a chance to gaze upon her beauty. Tell me she she doesn't pee standing up
