“Admittedly, even if the bill were passed, it is unlikely that more than a few million people would take advantage of it...”
Only retarded dwerps...
I would probably buy a hi point just to turn it in if it could net me 1800 to guy buy a high quality rifle.
What would be retarded about making 1500.00 dollars or so then turning around and buying a better rifle with the profit.
It is not like the rifles turned in can’t be replaced.
Or clever firearms owners looking to upgrade to a better rifle.
As a retarded dwerp, I would take advantage of this offer.

Six 80% lowers for $250. Six hours of work. Technically, I would have six “assault weapons” with a profit of $1957.50 per hour. I could do that daily for a month and make a huge profit, enough to arm all my reliable neighbors with high-quality semi-automatic sporting rifles and enough ammo to protect the Constitution and our neighborhood from all enemies, foreign and domestic. It would be the best use of FedGov money in my lifetime.
I'd take advantage of it in a heartbeat, turning in a $50 AR receiver or some other POS rifle for $2000 Obama Bucks! KA-CHING!!! And I'd use that $1950 in profit to get something really cool like a Springfield Armory Scout Squad or a DS Arms FN/FAL.
Sadly, this law has no chance of ever going anywhere.
