Disagree with the bill as written.

Set a cap on the tax credit, and let the person decide what is the proper firearm for them to own.

Otherwise all this is is government nepotism for ar-15 makers, when his whole point of the bill is really symbolic. Don’t tell people what gun style they must buy.

In reality I dont think govt should force anyone to buy any product, or dissuade them either. Hypothetically, what if government demanded people buy health insurance? Oh wait,...

Could probably get part way there by exempting guns and ammo from taxes.

And if you don't own an AR-15 you have to pay a penalty tax, and Chief Justice Roberts said its legal.

An armed citizen is a real citizen. An unarmed citizen is a subject.

Have to disagree here. There are some people who do not ever need to own a firearm.

Ridiculous. I don’t care for an AR-15 or do I expect to ever buy one. One should have the freedom to substitute a M1-A or a M-1 Carbine instead of a AR-15 platform. Even a trustworthy M-1 Rifle should be acceptable.

“which requires every person between 18 and 35 years of age who can legally possess a firearm to own an AR-15 and authorizes a tax credit for a purchase of an AR-15.”

Great...I am over 70 so I qualify for two.

Nothing in the bill as presented that prevents everyone required to purchase a gun from purchasing the same gun. It’ll be an AR-15 time share.

The right to keep and bear arms contains and is inseparable from the right NOT to do so.

I think it is a guy trying to make a point about requiring citizens to own or buy anything.

As stupid as banning them. No, the government does not have the right to force you to buy something. Even if it’s part of bammycare. No right to take them away, no right to mandate ownership. The right to shut the f* up, reduce taxes, and leave us the f* alone.

He's just re-stating the Militia Act of May 8, 1792, providing federal standards for the organization of the Militia.
I. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America, in Congress assembled, That each and every free able-bodied white male citizen of the respective States, resident therein, who is or shall be of age of eighteen years, and under the age of forty-five years (except as is herein after excepted) shall severally and respectively be enrolled in the militia, by the Captain or Commanding Officer of the company, within whose bounds such citizen shall reside, and that within twelve months after the passing of this Act. And it shall at all time hereafter be the duty of every such Captain or Commanding Officer of a company, to enroll every such citizen as aforesaid, and also those who shall, from time to time, arrive at the age of 18 years, or being at the age of 18 years, and under the age of 45 years (except as before excepted) shall come to reside within his bounds; and shall without delay notify such citizen of the said enrollment, by the proper non-commissioned Officer of the company, by whom such notice may be proved. That every citizen, so enrolled and notified, shall, within six months thereafter, provide himself with a good musket or firelock, a sufficient bayonet and belt, two spare flints, and a knapsack, a pouch, with a box therein, to contain not less than twenty four cartridges, suited to the bore of his musket or firelock, each cartridge to contain a proper quantity of powder and ball; or with a good rifle, knapsack, shot-pouch, and powder-horn, twenty balls suited to the bore of his rifle, and a quarter of a pound of powder; and shall appear so armed, accoutred and provided, when called out to exercise or into service, except, that when called out on company days to exercise only, he may appear without a knapsack. That the commissioned Officers shall severally be armed with a sword or hanger, and espontoon; and that from and after five years from the passing of this Act, all muskets from arming the militia as is herein required, shall be of bores sufficient for balls of the eighteenth part of a pound; and every citizen so enrolled, and providing himself with the arms, ammunition and accoutrements, required as aforesaid, shall hold the same exempted from all suits, distresses, executions or sales, for debt or for the payment of taxes.
In summary, it was understood, by the FOUNDERS, that the Militia was ALL able-bodied male citizens, and that all such citizens were to equip themselves with the standard military arms of the period.
