AMARILLO, TEXAS -- If you have gotten an e-mail lately that talks about "Senate Bill 2099" and how you are going to have to register your guns with the IRS and pay an extra tax--don't worry, that e-mail is totally false.
We looked into it, and HB 2099 does not even exist.
But there is House Resolution 45 which, if passed into law, would put restrictions on the sale and transfer of guns and create a licensing system for people who own guns.
HR 45 is currently in the Judiciary Committee and one gun owner does not think it will go into law.
We talked to Congressman Mac Thornberry who says he strongly opposes the resolution.
