A new law to encourage gun owners to turn in their weapons to local police departments by rewarding them with tax credits is moving through the halls of Congress.
The Support Assault Firearm Elimination and Education of our (SAFER) Streets Act is due for reintroduction in Congress by Connecticut Democratic Rep. Rosa DeLauro, The Hill reported.
“Assault weapons are not about hunting, or even self-defense,” she 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.”
DeLauro wants to completely ban any weapons labeled “assault,” as well as high-capacity ammunition, The Hill reported. At the same time, she emphasized her piece of legislation doesn’t force owners to turn in their weapons.

DeLauro has admitted that her goal is the complete elimination of firearms from private ownership. This is just a step in that direction.
Here ya go....you and the dumbocrats fully aggree.
Correct that “assault” weapons are not about hunting.
Neither is the 2nd amendment.
Fortunately our founding fathers understood the mentality and proclivities of exactly this kind of person. That is why our right to keep and bear arms is protected from - note that is protected from not granted-by the government in the Bill Of Rights, specifically the 2nd Amendment.
“. Does anyone use it now other than assclowns like delauro and the media?”
Yup....we have our own assclowns here that use that term.

Oh...there he is.
Yup. A few amendments here and there down the road and, bingo. Turn ‘em in Mr. and Mrs. America. Dang boating accidents.
I agree that they can be used to kill people. Nothing wrong with that. Sometimes people need to be killed. You’re just afraid to admit it.
They even provided for protecting us from assclowns like delauro but we fail to act. I really don’t understand how some arrive with that mind set. Well, I do, but you know what I mean.
I’m thinking that there’s a lot more beyond introducing a bill and getting a few leftist cosponsors that needs to happen before this abomination can be described as “moving through congress”.
Good luck getting it through a committee vote, you butt-ugly, gun-grabbing Nazi.
To: Crim
Just because you can do something doesn’t mean you should. It certainly doesn’t mean it’s in your best interest, my best interest or the second amendment’s best interest. To put a finer point on it, people who think they need to openly carry assault rifles into the grocery store are nucking futs that are undermining past and future progress and this is coming from someone who owns 3 AR15s, an AR10, an FAL and an Uzi and more handguns than I can remember. If you see me carrying one of these rifles around openly, it’s because I need to, not because I want to.

Man.....that is one UGLY ho...(In more ways then one).
What happened in CT with their AWB and magazine ban? Weren’t there tens of thousands owners that weren’t complying? Never heard what happened.
I love everything about assault weapons Crim and I’m not afraid to call them that. I spend most of my free time reloading for them or shooting them in fact. I just don’t see how it’s useful to carry them around in Krogers unless your local Krogers is in a really bad neighborhood.
Probably one of them will realize they can just “insert” it into the million page obamacare update and we can find out it’s in there after it’s signed.
Varmint type critters and deer are a perfect job for an AR-15 with a scope. They are pretty effective on a ner-do-well crawling though your window after dark too.
so what? I haven’t changed my opinion on that.
It depends. Given that these are tax credits rather than direct cash payouts, is it possible to make enough money on the trade-ins to upgrade your arsenal?
Law of unintended consequences, right?
Actually, the downside to this is that it creates multiple records of your gun ownership at the state/local (police depts) and Federal (IRS) level. In places like CT, where 85% of “assault weapon” owners are apparantly breaking the law by refusing to register their guns, it provides direct evidence of a Class D felony.
Not to mention the paper trail created by purchasing new weapons ...
