Re: Guns?
My hubby was concerned about this and did some research. It seems this (or something very similar) was actually proposed by one congress person several years ago, but it was quickly shot down. However, the rumor has continued to circulate at intervals ever since then. Interestingly, a police officer who teaches tactical training (and is definitely pro-NRA) was interviewed on a radio talk show today and was asked specifically about this. He also stated firmly that it is just a rumor at this point, and should be disregarded.
UNBELIEVABLE, Obama's $50 gun tax/registration thru 2009 1040 tax filing
Obama has gotten this Senate bill into the finance committee
Senate Bill SB-2009- will require us to put on our 2009 1040 federal tax form all guns that you have or own. may require fingerprinting and a tax of $50 per gun,
This was put in an amendment to the Internal Revenue Act of 1986,this means the Finance committee can pass this without the senate voting on it:no:
