Proposed Gun Law Involves Bribery – Will Gun Owners Fall For It?
111 Comments
A Democratic congresswoman from Connecticut, Representative Rosa DeLauro, is set to introduce a bill designed to persuade owners of “assault weapons” to turn in their guns. Under the terms of the bill, citizens who surrender their guns to the federal government would receive a tax credit of up to $2,000.
The bill is called the “Support Assault Firearm Elimination and Education (SAFER) of our Streets Act. It was first introduced in January 2013, after the tragic school shooting in Newtown, Connecticut. At that time, it failed to attract sufficient support.
In a press release on Rep. DeLauro’s website, she writes:
Assault weapons are not about hunting, or even self-defense. 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. They have no place on the streets or in our homes.
IJReview reports:
The press release goes on to explain that DeLauro’s in favor of a “comprehensive ban on assault weapons,” banning large “ammunition feeding devices,” as well as closing the “gun show loophole.”
The bill includes a wide range of rifles, pistols, and shotguns, and any of the former that have a folding or telescoping stock, a threaded barrel, a pistol grip, a forward grip, a barrel shroud, magazines that hold more than 10 rounds, shotguns with revolving cylinders, conversion kits, or any:
“…semiautomatic rifle or shotgun originally designed for military or law enforcement use, or a firearm based on the design of such a firearm, that is not particularly suitable for sporting purposes, as determined by the Attorney General.”
DeLauro reminded her supporters that just a short time after the Newtown shooting, President Obama had asked whether Americans are doing enough to protect our children, and he concluded the answer was “no.” DeLauro said that must change.
Six of Rep. DeLauro’s collegues are co-sponsoring the bill. They are all Democrats: Representatives Betty McCollum (D-MN), Raúl Grijalva (D-AZ), Elijah Cummings (D-MD), Keith Ellison (D-MN), Eric Swalwell (D-CA), and David Cicilline (D-RI).
Although the congresswoman does support a complete ban on assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition, she has promised her bill would not force gun owners to surrender their weapons.
To Rep. DeLauro’s I say **** YOU!
Sucker!
