I wonder if they have any realization of the stupidity of offering a $2K tax break on a $250 Hi-Point carbine in 9mm and other pistol calibers, which hardly even measures up to their distorted perception of "assault rifle" and is only offered with 10-round magazines. Is this because a Hi-Point was used at Columbine?

To be honest, it's a bit tempting, I could buy a much better rifle(s) with the profit.
