Modeled after the Affordable Care Act, aka Obamacare, the Affordable Firearms Act requires all United States citizens without felony records or mental illness to own at least one firearm, or be assessed a 3% income tax penalty.
The bill requires a national firearms purchase marketplace, where those who cannot afford to purchase firearms can obtain one at discount, or depending on income, at no charge.
"There must be a firearm in the home for every person over 16 years of age." stated the house majority leader. "We believe this will significantly help with those who have the right to a firearm for self defense, but are being denied that right due to cost."
Firearm manufacturer stocks soared with the announcement, but several manufacturers expressed concerns that they may be unable to meet production requirements.
President-elect Trump praised the measure on Twitter.
Supreme court experts believe that the Affordable Firearms Act will not be challenged, as it follows the same legal measures as the Affordable Care Act. Attempts to challenge the AFA in court will be struck down, using the precedence already set by the ACA.
"Some people may have concerns regarding the ownership of firearms." stated one congress member. "Fortunately they can file for an exemption under the mental illness clause, by forwarding a copy of their Democrat voter registration card to the IRS."
Game. Set. Match. The comments on this should be hilarious. The Hagerstown Report is satire.
"If you like your gun, you can keep it." -President Trump
