.50 CAL Rifle Ban

[bnhcomputing]

If the feds don't ban them, the states will. Look out guys, they're still trying to get the guns, and they just might be able to do it one state at a time.

60 Minutes had the story. If they would bring the price down a bit, I wouldn't mind having one for plinking with.

Ya i wouldnt mind one myself( there was a used one in the local paper, came with much brass& reloading dies, bullets etc) was still a lot-expensive to shot too[].

A terriosts tool? Ya right- so is a gallon of gas.

The .50-caliber rifle, one of the world"™s best combat weapons, was invented 22 years ago in Murfreesboro, Tenn., by Ronnie Barrett.

The above statement is kinda deciving-The 50.cal was invented long before that - thats just when it became more avalable in a more practical( legal) package for the civilian market.

And if law abiding Americans cant be trusted with that- what else?

Rat poison can kill you too , should we ban that ?
How about lack of oxygen ? Car crashes ?

I don't personally have a use for one , or anywhere safe to shoot it , but that doesn't mean that someday I won't want one . Why would I want one ? Because I can and I'm responsible enough to handle it safely . That should be all the reason I need .

We got one bnh...and I ain't talking muzzleloader either.

They're trying to develop a .499 caliber rifle...so once the 50's are illegal...you can just own one of them.

The one we got kicks like a dadgum mule though. The Barrett we borrowed for awhile was much, easier on the ol shoulder.

I would challenge them to name one person that was killed on the streets with a 50 cal.

Just like the K4's, the "cop killer bullets" -- not one cop was ever shot with one.

I hear ya - they like to twist the truths dont they.

I thought cops where made much like every other human out there?They dont come with protective shells when born ?

Maybe what they mean is some bullets can penatrate a ballistic vest ?
And that means you better ban about every hunting rifle out there by that logic!

Seen plenty of gun grabing whiney liberals right here on thses boards-dont have to go to california or anywhere like it to find im sad to say.

Nice rifle Froman like that style - keeps those long barreled rifles a lill shorter.

ORIGINAL: Ifferd

"(CBS) California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger (Republican) decided there"™s a weapon that"™s too dangerous to be in the hands of private citizens."(60 minutes)

I guess Arnold represents the "they" referred to in the above quote.

He doesn't seem to represent the people who voted for him . Next he'll decide that being fat is too dangerous for Kalifornicators and mandate excercise programs for everybody . For a guy who allegedly believes wholeheartedly in the American dream he's sure choosy bout which parts .

Fro , they'll just ban the . 499 next .
It's all or nothing , they choose nothing . The first steps to a totalitarian regime are:
1) Control the Media .
2) Disarm the populace .

I'd prefer is they went after the real terrorist guns like the 30-30. 4 cops have been killed by these armor defeating rifles in the last 20 years. I wish Teddy K and john K would keep pushing the ban on this true weapon of evil instead

I agree , and they already control a majority of the media& aways working on the other.

Yes those evil 30-30,s some even come in assult weapon versions saddle guns& former military weapons
They can make laws faster then we can retool& reload[>:]
