is there any truth to this?

i received this in an email tonight, and am hoping it's bs. I figure someone on the board would know.


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, http://www.senate.gov/ 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 to every gun owner you know to help STOP this bill!!

I can't find any record of SB-2099 on senate.gov or thomas.loc.gov - I suspect this is bogus.

Quick google search reveals this as an urban legend circulating since 2000
