Concerning the Blair-Holt proposed legislation: 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.
In November, our president promised he was not going after our Second
Amendment rights. 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.

Hey All,
I can see it now, the IRS busting down your door because the neighbor down the street turned you in for having a gun that you didn’t report.
But it turns out that you don’t have a gun, that the neighbor held a grudge against you because you just got a “cash for clunkers” deal on a new car, and he waited too long to cash in on the “deal”, and the IRS appologizes, and leaves you with a broken in door.
I won’t be telling any IRS agency how many guns I have. I’m thinking it’s none of their business.

The threat of a Blair Holt Law (similar to a Megan’s Law) has been around for a while. Each legislative session a House and Senate (usually both) version of this sort of back-door gun control surfaces, attracts no co-sponsors and dies in committee. NO SUCH LAW HAS BEEN PASSED – - YET!
Secretary of State Clinton’s agreement with the UN ban on weapons is maybe more of a threat as is the president’s executive order to authorize INTERPOL to function within the USA without any constitutional controls.
The answer is to maintain your political awareness and activism, working to vote out incumbents past a 2nd term and to vote against liberal and progressive agendas, and not vote for any candidate who has shown a lack of support for the US Constitution.
