DeLauro has admitted that her goal is the complete elimination of firearms from private ownership. This is just a step in that direction.
Yup. A few amendments here and there down the road and, bingo. Turn ‘em in Mr. and Mrs. America. Dang boating accidents.
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 ...
Totally clueless yet elevated to a position of influence. Now that’s insanity.
