The bill would, supposedly, provide up to $2,000 in tax credits if you turn in your "assault rifles."

Hmmm maybe I can think of a way to use this as a way to turn in a couple of cheap AR sporters and get even more!!!  Or as an upgrade program!! :thumbsup:

Fuel the firearms industry, it could be like my semi auto obama phone.

 That was my initial thought too. Trade in some cheap guns and get a scar

The bad news: Only one per person. Only receive a tax credit on federal income tax, split in half over two years.

The good news: States that the tax credit is $2000 (no sliding scale) for any gun that fits the criteria (or on the specified list). No mention of whether the gun needs to be functional. The list includes Hi-Point Carbine (which I think you can get for around $239 new.)

The other bad news: Even if we all had broken rusted Hi-Points laying around and had a federal tax liability greater than $2,000, the bill won't pass a Republican controlled House.

Seriously considering buying a friend's problematic Bushmaster.

Curious how the logistics would work.  Would you take your gun to the local ATF office/turn-in location, and then they immediately put it in a shipping container marked "COLUMBIA S. AMERICA:  HUMANITARIAN AID?"  Or maybe to: "SYRIAN FREEDOM FIGHTERS --in care of--ISIS?"
