I keep getting emails from others stating that there will be a $50 tax on each gun we own as part of our income tax this year. Supposidly something the Obama folks pushed through without anyone knowing about it and that all of this had been confirmed as true.

What is the real story on this?

Thanks!

Bogus.

There is no such thing as a secret law, and the majority of U.S. senators are solidly opposed to any further firearms legislation.

There is no truth in that silly rumor since it started several years ago. None what so ever. I guarantee you that if it were even proposed you'd be hearing about it from every news source on every TV station, on every radio station and newspaper in the U.S. But you haven't....only in emails. Scare tactics it is. Simply disregard. :tiphat:

Luckily the tax will be easily paid for by the millions I have inbound from a mysterious Nigerian prince.

You got a sash? Do you wear it over or under your t-shirt and jacket?

Snopes says you get a 10% tax break for every gun you list as a dependent.
