HANDGUN TAX?

      There has been some concern among members of the pro-gun community over S. 2099, an anti-gun bill introduced by anti-gun U.S. Senator Jack Reed (D-R.I.). The bill seeks to amend the National Firearms Act (NFA) to treat handguns like fully automatic firearms, requiring they be registered, and adding $50 tax to any handgun transfer.

      While NRA opposes this legislation, there is no real threat of it passing at this time. Please continue to focus your energy on addressing more serious concerns, like the debate over juvenile justice legislation.
