I'm surprised no one had brought this up here. I ran across it on my Facebook feed. It was co sponsored by kieth Ellison and Betty McCollum. Their pushing a bill to make gun owners voluntarily give up their weapons of war in exchange for a $2000 dollar tax credit. Because in their eyes no one needs nor deserves to have these evil weapons which were only designed to kill large amounts of people in short amounts of time.

I think this a horrible waste of our tax dollars and should have nothing to do with this. Where do the dems come up with their dillusional paranoia?

I need to find some old $200 rifles

I was thinking of selling a cheap surplus rifle, but now I guess I should hold on to it... I could sell it to the feds for 6x what it's actually worth...or maybe I do sell it then get a stripped lower for $100-something and sell it to the feds for 15x what it's worth!

Fixed the link.

If this passes every cheap lower in the country will sell out in days, followed by a huge spike in gun sales. Gun manufacturers (especially of ARs) are going to get a huge boost.

I think the only thing that will stop most gun owners "upgrade plans", would be if they put in the language that doesn't allow turn ins of recently purchased lowers. Just like the car buyback program the feds did...you had to own the car and have it registered for at least a year prior to them buying it back to avoid the rush to buy $300 beaters to sell to the gov. I'll bet when they realize the big oops here that they change the language.

Time to start buying some P-Tacs and Mossberg 715's!

I like how it states this bill would not make it mandatory. ********. These dumb asses never read these bills so would think they would omit "not" to see if anyone catches it. The democrats are getting way out of hand trying to get our weapons.

Or simply wait for a Democrat Congress and then change the existing law to make it mandatory.

My problem here is that it uses tax dollars.

Perfectly OK with them doing buy-backs with private money. But if it's tax dollars, or money from civil forfeiture, NO.
