2011 Tax Form Gun Registration

My wife and I were talking about this yesterday. I told her that I am not listing anything regarding my firearms or ammunition. She is in complete agreement. And even though she doesn't like to think about it, she knows that should the time come, I am won't go to jail.
My question though, how many will provide that list to the brown shirts just to avoid complications?? I think it was estimated that less than 5% in California registered their AR's when told to do so. No effort was put into enforceing the law and arresting those who did not register. I wonder if this will go the same way? Or will they come out in force within the following year or so to round up the non-compliant ones on "Tax Evasion" charges? It will take time to compare the tax records with the other forms of registration currently in use. But once that is done..............
Any thoughts??

Where did you hear this from?
And if it is true, I'm not listing anything I own. Even the LEO'S here at work are talking about it.
And the name I gave it isn't the name of the bill as far as I know. I just called it what it is.
I can only assume you're aware of the gun control measures hidden away in the Cap and Tax Bill passed by the House. That may be what your tax guy is alluding to but us peons won't know for sure what the exact provisions are until 3 months after it's law.
To my knowledge it's still there waiting for Schumer to pull it out in an after hours session and cram it through with a voice vote like he did with the Veterans Disarmament Bill.

Well WW, that is what passes for "representation" in the modern culture. Ain't it grand? The public continues snoring while the dictatorship takes form. Understandably so, since nowhere in history is there a precedent for such, to look to.
I have no doubt that if this goes through as planned, there will be gun fire.
"Mr. Smith, According to our records, you did not pay taxs as required on your 2010 forms under firearms. We have cross checked with the ATF and they show that you have XXX of firearms in your possesion. We have a warrent to search your home. Step aside please."

The officers here have said that IF this is true, they aren't listing anything. I thinkit is interesting though that the non-compliant most likely will NOT be charged with a firearms crime but with tax evasion for failing to pay the gun tax. And of course that would require that said firearm be taken in as evidence against you.
