I got this from a friend of mine minutes ago and I need to find out if it's real or not I will be checking as soon as I finish this post. Please read it, I find it disturbing to say the least. Your thoughts ?


Subject: Gun Registration, Pre- Confiscation is
Beginning--Senate
Bill SB-2099

Here we go!!!

Gun Confiscation is Beginning--Senate Bill SB-2099 HR45 Gun Owners Watch Out Concerning the Blair-Holt proposed legislation: 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.

In November, our lying president promised he was not going after our Second Amendment rights. 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.S. Senate homepage,
http://www.senate.gov/ <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 e-mail to every gun owner you know.

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 started.
Very Important for you to be aware of a new bill HR 45 introduced into the House. This is the Blair Holt Firearm Licensing & Record of Sale Act of 2009. Even gun shop owners didn't know about this because the government is trying to fly it under the radar. To find out about this - go to any government website and type in HR 45 or Google HR 45 Blair Holt Firearm Licensing & Record of Sales Act of 2009. You will get all the information.

Basically this would make it illegal to own a firearm - any rifle with a clip or ANY pistol unless:
It is registered -
You are fingerprinted -
You supply a current Driver'sLicense -
You supply your Social Security #
You will submit to a physical & mental evaluation at any time of their choosing -

Each update, change. or ownership through private or public sale must be reported and costs $25 - Failure to do so you automatically lose the right to own a firearm and are subject up to a year in jail. -There is a child provision clause on page 16 section 305 stating a child-access provision. Gun must be locked and inaccessible to any child under 18.They would have the right to come and inspect that you are storing your gun safely away from accessibility to children and fine is punishable for up to 5 yrs. in prison.

If you think this is a joke - go to the website and take your pick of many options to read this. It is long and lengthy. But, more and more people are becoming aware of this. Pass the word along. Any hunters in your family pass this along.

This is just a "termite" approach to complete confiscation of guns and disarming of our society to the point we have no defense - chip away a little here and there until the goal is accomplished before anyone realizes it.

This is one to act on whether you own a gun or not.
If you take my gun, only the criminal will have one to use against me.
HR 45 only makes me us less safe.

Please.. copy and send this out to EVERYONE in the USA, whether you support the Right to Bear Arms or not. YOUR rights are next. Government is taking away our right to choose, as well as the right to defend ourselves from intruders.

CALL YOUR SENATOR

This bill has been around in form or the other for a couple of years it has languished in committee and has no sponsors so it is unlikely to get out of committee... so until it gets out of committee not much to worry about!

REALLY old news and no cosponsors. This garbage isn't going anywhere fast, and hasn't been a concern in a long time. Don't worry. If there is ever a real concern, it will be all over the forums.

My best advice to everyone is that a rumor is not worth investigating, because with the internet you WILL hear about any serious pending legislation. The NRA devotes huge amounts of wasted time to dispelling rumors. For the convenience and lessening of headaches for everyone, it's best to ignore rumors unless they are both current and widely talked about online. THEN and only then it's time to contact your senators.
