So, if you turn in your 'assault weapons' to your local police....you could receive $2K in tax credits.

I bet the criminals will be all over this!  Even do their taxes.

That would be the easiest way for Dems to do a registry, offer tax credits for every gun you register as owning every year.

I'd be tempted to turn in a Mosin-Nagant assault rifle every year - 5 if they'd let me - for a 2k/rifle credit

I'd buy a $700 bushmaster, trade it in for the two grand, then I'd buy a nice colt AR-10.

They'd make society much safer and save way more lives buy giving tax credits for weight loss and smoking cessation.

bill would not force gun owners to turn in their firearms.

The legislation would provide up to $2,000 in tax credits for gun owners who voluntarily hand over assault weapons to their local police departments.
I'd never do it doesn't matter. useless legislation. They're just peed off because a lot of those in CT have not registered theres and unless they go door to doot and confiscate them they can't get them out of their hands. One Group even went as far as to write a letter telling the legislatures to either enforce their registration crap or repeal it; which would mean door to door confiscation.
So far CT has done neither, so all this is is another way to to try and wrest those unregistered guns from them.
