$50.00 a gun tax ?!?!?!?!?!?!
« on: June 30, 2009, 02:40:59 PM »
I received this in an email today from Justin Sip Custom Guns, I hope it's not true. Anyone else seen or heard of this ??? Is it real ??? If Obomba was involved I could believe it.

Here it is.................


"Wish this was a joke...........it's not.

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.

It's a hoax that has been going around the internet since 2000:

I did a search for the bill and found nothing with that number. I don't normally believe anything I read in an unsolicited email but considering the source it made me think twice. Glad it's nothing but propaganda.......
