Gun owners … Look what’s on the 2010 tax return….
Verified true on Snopes
If you have a gun, I hope it isn’t registered!
It begins … More freedom gone …. The right to protect yourself and your family gone! Now ALL GUNS must be listed on your next (2010) tax return!
Senate Bill SB-2099 will require us to put on our 2009 1040 federal tax form all guns that you have or own. It will require fingerprints and a tax of $50 per gun. This bill was introduced on February 24, 2009, by the Obama staff. BUT, this bill will only become public knowledge 30 days after the new law becomes effective! This is an amendment to the Internal Revenue Act of 1986. This means that the Finance Committee has passed this without the Senate voting on it at all. Trust Obama? You must be kidding!
Please send a copy of this e-mail to every gun owner you know.

That e-mail goes on and on with a lot of extraneous crap. Everything that is written above is absolutely false!
I have little use for President Obama, but that dire warning for gun owners is from another asshole attacking Obama with an outright lie! The reason I am posting this is because you may have already received this phony message. I first received it last year, and then again several months ago. You’ll notice that the asshole forgot to change the year from 2009 to 2010 when he refers to SB-2099.
The asshole who generated this shit cleverly says 'Verified true on Snopes,' but if you go ahead and click on the link you will find that the tax return crap is just that - a lot of crap!
The warning that you must list your guns on the 2010 tax return is UTTERLY FALSE!!!!
By now all of you should realize that 95 percent of these anti-Obama e-mails are not true. Those assholes out there who generate this shit know that most readers will not verify the truth of the crap they put out.
That Snopes link refers to the Blair-Holt bill which proposes to restrict the ownership and purchase of guns with a retractable magazine and requires their registration. It does not involve tax returns. While still pending, that bill has no chance of becoming law. The Blair-Holt bill was NOT introduced ‘by the Obama staff’ and it does NOT have any support from the Obma administration.
So all you gun owners who may have already received this e-mail, you can relax. Instead of getting all exercised at Obama for this, you should be royally pissed off at the asshole who generated this phony shit.
EDITOR’S NOTE: I also posted this on PACOVILLA Corrections blog. Here is how Bob Waslsh responded: There is plenty of real stuff to go after Obama for that we don’t have to make stuff up.
And FJ said: There actually was a bill by this same number dealing with this same issue [that] was introduced in 2000 and died a timely death in committee. This [e-mail] has been going around ever since as a BS scare tactic.

Glad it isn't true. I wouldn't have complied. Guess that would have made me a criminal...
