while I don't care for guns, I do support an orderly and democratic
process to address the issue, not some subtle RICO oriented intrusion to
ordinary citizens. For those of you who are motivated by this issue, I
thought you would like to know, if you don't already. Guns first,
Panteras next.

Senate Bill SB-2099 will require us to put on our 2000 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.
It can be viewed at the above address with the search engine in the upper
left corner of the Senate homepage 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!!
