Turn in your assault rifle get a $2000 tax credit

If for none other this is a horrible idea because of all of the "assault weapons" the government will have on hand to distribute to the Mexican drug cartels.

[quote name="vontar" post="893362" timestamp="1358911560"]*******[/quote] Is that code indicating you have surrendered you "assault rifles"?

in a heartbeat I would buy or assemble a cheap $500 AR for a 2k credit if I could find one or had enough parts to fake it.    These programs are AWESOME --- we get to turn a profit, liberals get to feel great about all the guns that are turned in, and as usual the taxpayer eats it but hey, its a better use of tax money than 99% of what gets spent.   

 

I love me a fixed price buyback, but lately, the last few have been "up to" --- maybe they slowly learn.  

Get a Hi Point 9mm carbine. $200+tax. 1000%profit.

The real beauty is that smart gun guys could make a profit, and the anti-gun folks would have to pay more tax to make up for the losses, because they wouldn't have any old cheap guns (or any kind of gun at all) to turn in for tax credit. :)

If this passes, we will never get inventories back to normal!  Sales will be through the roof!!!  Like most government programs, it will have an actual result exactly opposite of the intent.  Instead of reducing the numbers of semi-auto rifles in civilian hands, I predict that huge numbers of firearms will be turned in so that folks can buy new ones.

 

More feel-good cr@p paid for with our taxes.

Agree with this analysis.
