*Warning* Please note that the following legislation has not even been submitted yet. It is just interesting to read.
Representative Rosa DeLauro (D-Conn.) has proposed giving a $2000 tax credit to people who turn in an "assault weapon". I'm thinking that the market for various inexpensive guns that fall under this proposal would be in huge demand. Have an SKS, Hi-Point carbine, Keltec rifle, AK, AR, etc sitting around? Sell it for a $2000 tax credit!
Downsides: You can only turn in one weapon (not sure if it is one time or once/year) and the program sunsets after two years.
Upsides: I consider this the Gun manufacturer full employment act of 2015.
Article: Dems: Pay gun owners to hand over assault weapons | TheHill
Proposed legislation: http://delauro.house.gov/images/pdf/SAFERStreetsAct114th.pdf
So, what say you INGO? Should we flood Rosa Delauro's office with calls of support?
Disclaimer: I really don't want any additional regulation or government spending. But if this were to pass, I'd have no problem claiming the credit.
