MIAMI — A man and his 11-year-old grandson found a little more than they were looking for during a weekend fishing trip. The pair pulled two .50-caliber Barrett sniper rifles out of a canal near Miami.

Duane Smith told the Miami Herald he saw a YouTube video on magnet fishing and decided to give it a try on Sunday. They dropped a 5-pound magnet in the C-102 canal in southern Miami-Dade County.

Guessing the ones you linked to DO NOT have the serial numbers filed/ground/drilled off, like the illegal ones in the article?

Guessing you completely ignored the fact that I wasn't addressing the found weapons with the serial numbers filed off but the totally legal ownership of .50 cals, which I repeated several times.......

Sheesh!

Which was made in reply to your #36
where you said the two guns in question
with filed-off serial numbers were legal to own.
Give it up.
You lose the argument.

You mean this one?

Florida has no laws regulating 50 caliber rifles......They're legal to own.

You're a classic example of what Democrats attempt to do. Which is to insert your own interpretation of ones words in order to provide a false argument on a subject you can't win.

You know damn well what I was saying so don't even try to twist it........Sheesh!

Here's my question to you bro, is it legal to own a .50 Cal rifle in Florida or is it not?

My argument, regardless of what your interpretation of what I was saying, is that it is legal.

So tell me dude, is it or is it not?

The two rifles are now property of the ATF (serial numbers removed).

I would have separated the lower receivers, for the ATF to take, and kept everything else to sell.

Actually, I was highlighting the fact that you weren't addressing what everyone else was discussing (the totally illegal status of found weapons with the serial numbers filed off ;>)...

Yes, as long as the serial numbers are intact.
The two firearms in question did not meet that criteria.
