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.
What I understand is that it will not be a Bill.TxDrifter wrote:AEA wrote:But there are rumors that there is a tax and registration scheme hidden in the upcoming Federal Budget, but no one is reporting on it yet, including FOX.http://www.nraila.org/legislation/feder ... px?id=4925NRA-ILA wrote: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.

I haven't seen anything else newer come up yet, only rumors.
You cannot pass taxes that way. It's hogwash.AEA wrote:

It will be well hidden in the Federal Budget.
