Dang! Turn in a highpoint carbine and get a $2000 dollar tax credit? Where do I sign up?

Keeping an eye on this, any other Firearm Bills?

Understand, if this Pass's, then it can be USED as "Definition of Assusalt or Firearms" as they all seem to be listed. I did not see a "Slingshot / Baseball bat / Hammer", just about everything else is listed. This NEEDS to be Defeated!

Very true, they need a bipartisan lawful definition of an assault weapon, for example, select fire, the end.

Turn in a Tapco'ed SKS and when you get your credit go buy a nice DD or Colt.

means any of the following:
``(A) The following rifles or copies or duplicates
thereof:
Wonder is this would count as a "copy" or "duplicate"?

So if I turn in a stripped polymer lower that should count. After all, the ATF considered it an AR-15 when I bought it.

Also, it's kind of funny that they are all about removing 'assault weapons' until it cuts into their tax revenue. Just 1 per person, and credit is split across two years.
