The measure is titled, “Support Assault Firearm Elimination and Education of our (SAFER) Streets Act.” It will be put forward by Representative Rosa DeLauro (D-CT).
According to The Hill, the measure will differ from local gun buybacks in that those turning in weapons will receive a tax break rather than cash.

In their twisted brains what does ‘assault weapon” mean ?
How can Da Gummint buy them BACK if they never owned them to begin with..?
The concept only works under the presumption that all guns naturally belong to the government a priori.
Yep. Other people’s money.
It means “any scary looking gun they don’t like the looks of” - and THEY get to define “scary-looking” and “like” and “looks”.
yeah, people gonna trade a $1500 ‘assault weapon’ for a few measly bucks...........
ALL WEAPONS ARE ASSAULT WEAPONS...................that’s why they are called ‘weapons’..............
Representative Rosa DeLauro
Please a Freeper good at posting photos..Please get a few up of DeLauro and it will help explain her..
So this will give the IRS a list of people who had them.
hmmm
Anything with black on it.............
Show up at the buyback with a fish. Then, bring them an old sock. Stand and argue with them.
“This is an assault Trout.”
“This sock has killed millions of people.”
You can always tell when the Democrats are in trouble because they start talking gun control.
Return the favor and tell them that food stamp recipients should receive some vegetable seeds and three live chickens.
I can’t see too many people turning in $1000 rifles for a tax credit. If anyone does (e.g., ex-wife), I’m sure there will be plenty of folks willing to give them $500+ in cold cash for it.
All transactions will be recorded and technologies will be utilized to “track” the seller..Ya know,just in case !!!
funny
see how that helps??
Just another way where other amendments will be slipped into the bill. You know that they will do it too. Which means, something is happening soon.
Yeh that’ll pass. Not.
So what?
This is a nothing story for 2 reasons (at least).
1) We know they hate guns.
2) This can't pass.
How about a current Congress and POTUS BUY back!
