So, I did what you suggested: I went to senate.gov. put SB 2099 in the search box and came up with this: Is it true that . . . Senate Bill SB-2099 will require owners of firearms to pay a $50 charge per gun and list each gun on their federal tax form? The answer is no. This Internet rumor states that SB-2099 is legislation currently being considered by the Senate. The bill supposedly requires owners of firearms to list on their 1040 tax return all guns they own and then pay a $50 charge per firearm. There is no such legislation by this name in the 111th Congress. The facts: * Legislation that the Senate is currently working on will be listed on the Active Legislation page or can be searched for on Thomas. For more information about the legislative process or finding bills, please see the Legislation VRD page. senate.gov also -- the last link in your post gives me this: An invalid bill ID was specified in the URL.

"IT IS NOW ILLEGAL TO OWN A GUN..." Fake internet rumor, right? No such bill even in the hopper... (and certainly nothing in law).

Old news, the only truth is yes it is a bill. The rest of the story is the bill was Dead on Arrival last year. No copsonsors. No chance in hell of going anywhere anytime soon.
