Senate Bill SB-2099 will require us to put on our 2009 1040 federal tax form ALL GUNS THAT YOU HAVE OR OWN. It may require fingerprints and a tax of $50 PER GUN.

This bill was introduced on Feb. 24. This bill will become public knowledge 30 days AFTER IT IS VOTED INTO LAW. This is an amendment to the Internal Revenue Act of 1986. This means that the Finance Committee can pass this WITHOUT THE SENATE VOTING ON IT AT ALL.

The full text of the proposed amendment is on the U..Senate homepage. (http://www.senate.gov. You can find the bill by doing a search by the bill number SB-2099.

YOU KNOW WHO TO CALL! I STRONGLY SUGGEST YOU DO. PLEASE SEND A COPY OF THIS EMAIL TO EVERY GUN OWNER YOU KNOW TO HELP STOP THIS BILL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is an old hoax email that's been going around for a while. If you actually take the time to go to the http://www.senate.gov link, you won't be able to find any such bill because it doesn't exist. Senate bills are labeled S.###, not SB-####. We need to be vigilant, but let's pass around bogus info that you haven't even checked out for yourself.
