Discussing your right to bear arms

RE: SB 2099

Posted by Heather Ingemar on June 30, 2009

There’s an email floating around detailing the effects of a senate bill currently in committee — and soon to be made law without a vote — designed to make it a felony if you do not report all your owned firearms on your IRS tax return, then pay an additional tax per firearm to the government.

I just did some research on this, and it is

false!

NRA-ILA has issued a statement about it:

And Snopes has also written an article on it:

Y’all can relax now. :)
