QUESTION:
Is it true that . . .  Senate Bill
SB-2099 will require owners of firearms to pay a $50 charge per gun and
list each gun on their federal tax form?


ANSWER: The answer
is no.  This Internet rumor states that SB-2099 is legislation
currently being considered by the Senate. The bill supposedly requires
owners of firearms to list on their 1040 tax return all guns they own and
then pay a $50 charge per firearm. There is no such legislation by this
name in the 111th Congress.


The facts:

• The last bill given the
  number S.
  2099 was in the 105th Congress. This bill dealt with federal
  sentencing guidelines for counterfeiting offenses.
  
• Legislation that the Senate is currently working on will be listed on
  the
  
  Active Legislation page or can be searched for on
  Thomas. For more information about
  the legislative process or finding bills, please see the
  
  Legislation VRD page.
