Gun owners would receive tax breaks for voluntarily turning in high-powered assault rifles under new legislation proposed Monday.
The Support Assault Firearm Elimination and Education of our (SAFER) Streets Act expected to be reintroduced next week by Rep. Rosa DeLauro (D-Conn.) would provide gun owners with an incentive to turn in their firearms to local police departments.
“Assault weapons are not about hunting, or even self-defense,” DeLauro 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.”
Though DeLauro is in favor of stronger guns laws that would completely ban assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition, she emphasized this bill would not force gun owners to turn in their firearms.
The legislation would provide up to $2,000 in tax credits for gun owners who voluntarily hand over assault weapons to their local police departments.
The assault weapons legislation comes in response to the horrific mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., DeLauro’s home state, in December 2012.
DeLauro originally introduced the bill in January 2013, just one month after the Newtown shooting, but the legislation fell short in the Republican-controlled House. She plans to reintroduce it next week when Congress returns from recess.
She said the bill would help “get more assault weapons off the streets."
“Just days after the Newtown tragedy, President Obama asked, ‘Are we doing enough to protect our children?’ And he admitted the answer is, ‘no.’ That must change,” DeLauro said.
DeLauro is announcing the assault weapons legislation this week in conjunction with National Public Health Week.
The co-sponsors include Reps. Betty McCollum (D-Minn.), Raúl Grijalva (D-Ariz.), Elijah Cummings (D-Md.), Keith Ellison (D-Minn.), Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.), and David Cicilline (D-R.I.).

exactly
How much is a new AR-15?
Identical twins? LOL!
It is simply stunning how stupid voters can be when they elect people like this.
LOL, there you go.
I knew that sounded familiar.
Here is the 2012 Republican Presidential nominee.
“These guns are not made for recreation or self-defense. They are instruments of destruction with the sole purpose of hunting down and killing people.”
She is a looker on her planet, especially for a 3,000 year old
Yeah, depending on the language of the legislation, I could enthusiastically support this. Could possibly get $2,000 for a 10/22, depending on how it’s written! lol
$2k for a used base build factory AR15 would be a great deal.
Neither is the Second Amendment.
Dums: Gay pun owners to overhand old ass weapons
Lydexics Untie!
Why would anyone do that when they could sell them for more? Rosa is almost as stupid as she is ugly.
She should turn in her assault-ring.
Note that the Islamic wants to disarm Americans.
Wonder why...(ha ha)....?
Don't the libs argue that the second amendment only applies to flintlock muskets as used during the revolution? A musket was "a gun designed for the battlefield". Thus they say that people not allowed to own weapons designed for the battlefield, but at the same time that is the only type of weapon allowed. Cognitive dissonance, they name is liberalism.
Precisely. It's called deterrence and preparation.
I think I could make my old bolt-action .22 squirrel rifle look AWFUL MEAN for $2000!
“Neither is the Second Amendment.”
Amen...Worth repeating.
So, like - why do the police need assault rifles, then?
Here’s a better idea: pay people on welfare to be sterilized.
