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.

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, 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. Please send a copy of this e-mail to every gun owner you know.

<Text of H.R.45 as Introduced in House: Blair... OpenCongress


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


Has anyone else heard about this?

Not an amendment to the Internal Revenue Act. Can't be passed without public knowledge. This is not SB-2099 which was introduced in 2000.

I have heard of this. Quite a bit but not lately.
Anything new with it?

HR45 is real, SB-2099 is not.

Last I checked HR45 still does not have a co-sponsor. I don't think it can even go to commitee, but we still need to keep an eye on it.

Always keep an eye open for this sort of thing.

Assorted amendments have been tacked onto bills without anyone else knowing what the were; that's how some of the pork gets added. An anti gun bill could be added the same way.
