I would like to buy a Barrett just to support Ronnie Barrett's efforts. When California banned .50s, he sent a letter to the Cali AG and other government agencies that he would no longer honor warranty work on rifles owned by any part of the California Government. He also developed a new cartridge, hte .416 Barrett based on the .50 BMG case that not only has beter ballistics than the .50, but can be sold in California.

Companies like Ruger, S&W, and Colt could take lessons from Mr Barrett.
