once again.....a mass email about the government aking away our rights is found to be untrue....
how do you claim the government is lieing to the people, while sending out false and misleading e-mails about what the government is doing?
i have a question for all of you "Constitution" experts. what militia are you in? where do you train?
the second ammendment provides for a civilian militia to protect us from the tyranny of government.....a civilian fighting force to protect us from them....not a couple of hill-billies in ford.

With the "SB-2099" rumors circulating again in the wake of the 2008 election, the National Rifle Assocation released the following informational alert in May 2009:
Clearing Up the Rumors: The Truth About The “Gun Tax Bill”
Friday, May 29, 2009
In the last few weeks, NRA-ILA has received hundreds of e-mails warning us about “SB-2099,” a bill that would supposedly require you to report all your guns on your income tax return every April 15.
Like many rumors, there’s just a grain of truth to this one. Someone’s recycling an old alert, which wasn’t even very accurate when it was new.
There actually was a U.S. Senate bill with that number that would have taxed handguns—nine years ago. It was introduced by anti-gun Sen. Jack Reed (D-R.I.), and it would have included handguns under the National Firearms Act’s tax and registration scheme. This has nothing to do with anyone’s Form 1040, of course.
Fortunately, S. 2099 disappeared without any action by the Senate, back when Bill Clinton was still in the White House. We reported about it back then, just as we report about new anti-gun bills every week. Now, it’s time for gun owners to drop this old distraction and focus on the real threats at hand.
