I read DeLaurao’s comment in this regard here on FR shortly after Sandy Hook which linked to the source. I can’t find it now and don’t have time to search further.

5 ‘‘(1) IN GENERAL.—In the case of an individual
6 who surrenders a specified assault weapon to the
7 United States or a State or local government (or po-
8 litical subdivision thereof) as part of a Federal,
9 State, or local public safety program to reduce the
10 number of privately owned weapons, on the election
11 of the taxpayer there shall be allowed as a credit
12 against the tax imposed by this chapter an amount
13 equal to $2,000.
14 (2) YEAR CREDIT ALLOWED.—The amount of
15 the credit under paragraph (1) shall be allowed 1/2

In July 2014, DeLauro introduced Sugar-Sweetened Beverages Tax Act, also known as the "SWEET Act",

In addition to being ugly she has almost all of the requirements to be a progressive, liberal, democrat.
