From: BOBWORN@aol.com Subject: I told My Friends It Was Coming..Senate Bill 2099

FORWARDER'S NOTE: Well, I was waiting for the other shoe to fall - and it has. But with an unexpected angle - getting the IRS to register guns. I can just picture it now - the last questions on your 1040 45. "How many guns do you own"?_________ 46. "How many guns do you have registered"?_________ And then the "hook" - your warning under USC Title 18 Section 1001.......Any false statements made on this form are a violation of United States Law and subjects the offender to $10,000 fine or 5 years imprisionment or both. This is the hook that they got Al Capone on - Violation of Title 18 - 1001 - not boot-legging.....and the beat goes on - ever closer to the New World Order. Sadly, Bob Worn Handgun Safety and Registration Act of 2000 (Introduced in the Senate) S 2099 IS 106th CONGRESS 2d Session S. 2099 To amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to require the registration of handguns, and for other purposes.

Well well. Isn't that interesting. They seem to be rushing things though. I wonder what the deadline is?

And this is interesting as well.

"(1) IN GENERAL- Any person possessing any firearm classified as a handgun under section 5845(a)(8) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 not registered in the National Firearms Registration and Transfer Record maintained by the Secretary of the Treasury under section 5841 of such Code shall register such handgun-- "

So now they admit that there is a national firearms registry. I wonder what all the gun control advocates who swore that they would never go so far as to register gun owners have to say about that now?

Watch six and keep your...

I'm sorry to have to report that this is not a hoax, but an actual bill, which luckily hasn't been passed yet, as far as I know. You can verify this by going to the Library of Congress site and typing in S2099 as the bill number.

The founding fathers are not rolling, they are SPINNING in their graves. If Weird Al gets elected, it will only get worse. And for all of the NWO conspiracy theorists that claim Dubya is a shape shifting alien NWO leader, I have but one question.

If Dubya is a shape shifting alien NWO leader, than why did he sign a concealed carry law while governor of Texas?
