Another Misguided Buyback Program

[Battousai]

I like the idea of building a budget AR, then turning that in haha

Sigh. 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....

This is a joke, right?

How can they spend tax money on something like this? That is the same thing because someone else will have to pay more to make up for the lost revenue in that area. Don’t they have to justify the expenditure somewhere?

No it’s like doing the same thing over and over expecting a different outcome.

The average IQ of the country is around 98, so what does anyone expect?

Lets call it the 'Upgrade Your AR Act'!

and this one! If I turn in my $500 budget build and get the $2000 credit, I can build/buy a much better AR.

Why turn in a $500 budget build? The lower receiver is the serialized part and legally is the "firearm". I'd just turn in a $60 lower.

Too bad the bill would only let me turn in one.

Either way, the cheaper AR's are approaching $400 if you catch things on sale. Just think what someone could do if they built cheap AR's with no intention of them actually working? Half the damn rifle could be really cheap polymer with just enough metal to allow it to fire a few times without self destructing.

It really depends on the definitions used in the bill. If it were done so it was easy to game the system, I am sure it won't last long.
