A couple of comments at a pro-Second Amendment Facebook group: 

Say there are 100,000,000 firearms that fall into this category. The possible Registration fee could be $200.00 per firearm. This is in line with Class three firearms. The total is $20,000,000,000. That is Twenty Billion dollars. The tax scheme part of this plan is just exactly what they want. There could also be annual fees per firearm. This is all Theory but it is in line with what some have discussed in the past.

George it is a lot of money however I doubt the driving force is anything other than the eventual disarmament of Americans. Collecting $20 Billion on the way is just icing on the cake

Good point. Of course, with the FedGov, it will cost 100 Billion per year to collect that 20 Billion.

Report: Obama gun ban list leaked
November 28, 2012

 Alan Korwin, 2nd Amendment activist and author of Gun Laws of America, published a preliminary list of firearms and firearms accessories to be included in the yet-to-be announced, but much anticipated new version of the so-called Assault Weapons Ban.

The chief sponsor of the last ban, Sen. Diane Feinstein is said to be crafting new legislation now, which, if passed, President Obama would undoubtedly sign.

Writing for Red Flag Newswire, Korwin said:

“Gun-ban list proposed. Slipping below the radar (or under the short-term memory cap), the Democrats have already leaked a gun-ban list, even under the Bush administration when they knew full well it had no chance of passage (HR 1022, 110th Congress). It serves as a framework for the new list the Brady’s plan to introduce shortly. I have an outline of the Brady’s current plans and targets of opportunity. It’s horrific. They’re going after the courts, regulatory agencies, firearms dealers and statutes in an all out effort to restrict we the people. They’ve made little mention of criminals. Now more than ever, attention to the entire Bill of Rights is critical. Gun bans will impact our freedoms under search and seizure, due process, confiscated property, states’ rights, free speech, right to assemble and more, in addition to the Second Amendment. The Democrats current gun-ban-list proposal (final list will be worse):

About 1/3rd of what I own falls under that list.

Going back to your $200 tax thought. I just remembered that the 1934 gun ban that impacted things like Thompsons and short barrel shotguns had a licensing tax of $200 per weapon for those who could posses. That makes me think that if they use that as a case example, taking into account inflation, we may be looking at a $2000 tax instead.

They will simply price out possession for most people or make criminals of us all.

Disarmament of the American people, by any means necessary.
