Re: Another Misguided Buyback Program

I went and looked at the text from the article. The bill is a Federal bill with a $2000 credit against your federal taxes. What I find interesting is that if one were to take advantage of this (if it ever passed), they split the credit across two years. Also, they only allow for the turning in of one "assault weapon" to get the credit. You would think if they were really worried about the proliferation of "assault weapons", they would be willing to take as many as people were willing to turn over.

It also says no .22s, etc. They have a laundry list of firearms they are looking for, specified in the actual text of the bill.....

Another Misguided Buyback Program

Sigh. :banghead: It appears that there is another attempt at a misguided buyback program, this time in the form of tax credit.

I guess it is the old story of keep pounding away at it until people finally give in....
