HR 226 - Tax credit for sale of assault weapons to government

Buy a snootload of 80% lowers and turn them in? Since the lower is the firearm by ATF definition.

Perhaps, but an 80% lower isn't technically a firearm per the ATF (which is why they can sell/ship 80% lowers directly to your house.

If you drilled them and did a shitty job of it, then maybe they could be counted. [Dunno]

Why not? They're just going to melt it down anyway so its not like it has to function.



In all seriousness though this has to be stopped. Once they establish a tax credit for turning in your guns, when they go about making it mandatory they will claim the tax credit covers them from a 5th amendment standpoint (taking without just compensation).

It is a different method of setting a lower bound on a price. Even if I thought it a good idea, I hate mucking with the tax code like that. Hate isn't a strong enough word.

AK for $500.

Hi-Point carbines, SKS, and MPAs are worth a lot less than 2K.

The SKS mentioned is the "D" not just some SKS with a tapco mag in it.

Except as provided in clause (ii), a
semiautomatic rifle that has a fixed magazine with the
capacity to accept more than 10 rounds.

Someone has to see this loophole before it gets passed. Any Marlin 60 would be worth $$$ so there has to be a .22 exemption.

Just some thoughts.

That anyone here is even "pondering" a Tax credit is embarrassing, to say the least.

I could easily go buy a handful of Mossberg tactical 22 LR's for $300 and sell them to the Feds for $2K a pop. Sounds like a good deal to me.
