H.R. 226: Plan is “to reduce the number of privately owned weapons”

H.R. 226: Plan is “to reduce the number of privately owned weapons”

Sometimes they inadvertently slip and tell you what the overall agenda really is and if you’re paying attention, if you might just be a conspiracy theorist or something, you catch ‘em.
This is not about keeping the “crazy” people from owning weapons or the “wrong” people. It’s not about getting these military style weapons off the streets either. It’s about reducing the number of privately owned weapons in this country by any means necessarily.
And then it’s also about adding another half trillion dollars to the deficit monster which will have to be paid by further cuts to social spending. You see, it’s a “win win“  (full text of the H.R. 226 after the break at the end of the article)
Rep. DeLauro, Rosa L. [D-CT-3] and bill co-sponsor Rep. Grijalva, Raul M. [D-AZ-3]*  introduced House Bill 226 on 01/14/2013 which basically laid out a plan to have law abiding U.S. citizens “surrender” their legally owned firearms in exchange for a $2,000 tax credit spread out over 2 years ($1,000 per year)
The bill includes a list of the kinds of “assault rifles” they are going to offer the 2 grand for, which is interesting because it also includes things like various sniper rifles, a Spaz12 shotgun (tactical shotgun) and any semi-auto rifle with a detachable magazine and a threaded barrel which is pretty much any decent rifle these days. Surely the list of weapons included on this list will expand as this bill works it’s way through congress.
But what’s really interesting about this bill is the language included in Sec. 25E (a)(1)
``SEC. 25E. ASSAULT WEAPON TURN-IN CREDIT.

    ``(a) Allowance of Credit.--
            ``(1) In general.--In the case of an individual who 
        surrenders a specified assault weapon to the United States or a 
        State or local government (or political subdivision thereof) as 
        part of a Federal, State, or local public safety program to 
        reduce the number of privately owned weapons, on the election 
        of the taxpayer there shall be allowed as a credit against the 
        tax imposed by this chapter an amount equal to $2,000.
That’s pretty straight forward folks. It’s right there on the government website.
They don’t care about keeping guns out of the hands of the “crazy” conspiracy theorists or the criminals as this law won’t payout those tax credits for guns that aren’t legally registered to the person who surrenders them.
This bill is about paying citizens $1,000 a year for two years if they turn in their legally owned firearms.
It’s about reducing the number of weapons in private hands. Period.
Below is the bill in it’s entirety.
Also think about this: the one to two hundred million guns out there that might fall into this category would cost between 200 billion and half a trillion to collect by the government. Last I checked they are already looking to cut spending because of the dreaded deficit monster.
So where is that money going to come from?
They will float this out there and claim they have to pay for it somehow, and it will be used to demolish even more of the social safety net in the country. Social programs will have to be sacrificed on the alter of the “greater good”
