I just got a text telling me that I will have to tell the government what guns I own on my 1040 tax form and pay 50$ per gun. Can anyone tell me if this is true?

This site was checked 10/26/2009 @ approximately 0410 hrs and found this message. Also Snopes.com claims the story to be false.

Q: Would Senate bill 2099 put a yearly $50 tax on each privately owned firearm?

A: There is no such bill. A chain e-mail containing bogus claims refers to a bill that died more than eight years ago.
