A man with a gun is a citizen, a man without a gun is a subject of the government!

On your next (2010) tax return!

As if we didnt have enough to get upset about!

If you have a gun, I hope it isn't registered!

 

 

Senate Bill SB-2099 will require us to put on our 2009 1040 federal tax form, all guns that you have or own It will require fingerprints and a tax of $50 per gun.

This bill was introduced on Feb. 24, 2009, by the Obama staff. BUT . . . This bill will only become 'public knowledge' 30 days after the new law becomes effective! This is an amendment to the Internal Revenue Act of 1986. This means that the Finance Committee has passed this without the Senate voting on it at all. Trust Obama ? ........ You must be kidding !

The full text of the IRS amendment is on the U.S. Senate homepage, U.S. Senate. 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 so. Please send a copy of this e-mail to every gun owner you know.

Text of H.R.45 as Introduced in House: Blair Holt's Firearm Licensing and Record of Sale Act of 2009 - U.S.... OpenCongress

Obama's Congress is now starting on the firearms confiscation bill. If it passes, gun owners will become criminals if you don't fully comply.

It has begun . . . Whatever Obama's secret Master Plan is .. . . this is just the 'tip of the iceberg!'

I've seen this on more than one web site and it's BS

Did you even read the webpages that explained this e-mail before posting this?!?!

 

It's false, a lie. It's based on an old bill (that was introduced during the BUSH YEARS!!!) that died before it even made it to committee vote. Has/had nothing to do with BHO's "master plan." :roll:

 

Extreme righties are grabbing at straws and making things up when reality is bad enough. It's sad, really.

No, I didnt read the links, I just wanted to ask if anyone here had heard about it.

 

Now that I know it isnt true I feel much better.

This was brought up at least once or twice on this forum alone.

Cam and Co also called it bogus.

Don't think it's happening, has been reported as gossip.

 

But, you never know.

Rep. Bobby Rush's H.R. 45, which he introduced in honor of Blair Holt, is not bogus, a hoax, or anything of the sort. It's a real bill that attracted no co-sponsors and is parked in a subcommittee for the time being. As far as it being attached to Senate Legislation, that is not true, because it hasn't even been looked at by the House yet. But as far as H.R. 45 is concerned, it is a real bill with real implications if it's actually revived in subcommittee (Highly doubtful, but as JP from Angels in the Outfield would say, "It could happen".)

To say it was introduced during the "Bush Years" is technically true, but quite insidious. It was introduced less than a year ago.
