I have not heard of that one but there was another floating around about banning assault rifles and putting a yearly fee on magazines over 10 rounds and a yearly tax on each firearm.

I sure am glad that I sold all my ammo and firearms last year after that terrible boating accident that took most of everything I had. ;)
