Oh that deadly .50 caliber is up for a stomping match again. Where? California, of course.
Does anbody know the new Governors stand on these nasty killing machines?

I remember there was an article some time back which compared and contrasted Gray-out Davis and Ahnold. Ahnold favored the .50 cal ban, IIRC.

Has any civilian ever been killed by a .50 cal rifle? I know lots of terrorists have been killed by them so I understand why California wants to ban them.
I guess they haven't heard of the .50 caliber handgun yet either.

Isn't this special. I live in CoCo County. Guess I need to fire up the Fax and send off some more letters. I get really tired of this. I don't own a .50, nor do I ever expect to, but this attacks need to be stopped.
Dear County Stupervisor:
So, you are proposing a ban on .50 caliber rifles in response to the huge crime using these rifles as weapons? I feel so much safer!

If I could afford a Barret I'd get one. But $5,100 is a
tad steep for me.

The Golden State Second Amendment Council, formerly the Silicon Valley NRA Members' Council, wrestled something like this to the ground a while back, I don't doubt they'll be able to do it again.
Besides, there's an interstate commerce issue at work here, plus the California Supreme Court has ruled that licensing and registration of firearms is preempted by state law.

Michel didn't buy the supervisors' argument that the ban would further homeland security. They sure think we're dumb. If home land security is the real concern behind their move to ban the .50 caliber, one would think these same liberal Democrat politicians would be demanding that our president close the southern and northern borders and execute and enforce the immigration laws. More than likely, the real reason the Democrats are pushing a ban on .50 calibers (D. Feinstein on a federal level) is their concern that they will become a target for being elitist control freaks (tyrants) and way too anti-American.

Such explosive, armor-piercing ammunition is already illegal. just what smelly pit do these "journalists" inhabit? Amazing what grows where sunlight has never reached.
and OMG, the .45 is only .05 smaller!

Public safety? More like public herding to the slaughterhouse. No! Man, LE and gov have no questions to answer in any of these cases... they are confining and harassing us once more. Seems to me we need a restraining order against an armed to the teeth gov. who does not want us to enjoy our personal effects.

Let me see if I get this straight...
We are talking about a calibur of weapon that not only isn't currently being sold and isn't being requested.
The anti's are making a stretch that Ackhmed is going to walk into Joes Guns to buy a 50 cal and that it wouldn't raise some eyebrows? Lets see, you still have to be a citizen to leagally buy any gun, right? Last time I checked, the terrorists were mostly foreign? And to think that a terrorist, or any criminal is going to walk into a legal gun store and buy a gun is crazier than a mayor who thinks he can offer gay marriage in a state that has by referrendum stated that marriage is between a man and a woman. Oh.. we are talking about that state.
The question isn't weather "anyone" has a use for a 50 cal. Hell, I would buy one just to make bigger holes in the targets I shoot...
This isn't about any particular type of gun. This is about making the sheeple used to the government taking their arms.
'First they came for the Communists, but I was not a Communist, so I said nothing. Then they came for the Social Democrats, but I was not a Social Democrat, so I did nothing. Then came the trade unionists, but I was not a trade unionist. And then they came for the Jews, but I was not a Jew, so I did little. Then when they came for me, there was no one left to stand up for me.' Martin Niemöllers.
It makes me wonder, at what point do the MAJORITY of people, those who believe in marriage between a man and a woman, those who beleive in the second amendment, those who believe that this is "One Nation, Under God," going to stand up and tell the overly vocal and illegally acting minority, ENOUGH!?

Legislation proposed by Assemblyman Paul Koretz, D-West Hollywood, would make it unlawful to manufacture, sell or possess a .50-caliber rifle within California without a permit. Wanna strike fear in the heart of your elected tyrannists? Just gotta love the .50:

urban combat?!?!
.50 is WWWWAAAAYYYY!!!! to big to use in urban combat, unless you want to blow the target into 1,000,000 pieces

Candidate Schwarzenegger said he was generally in support of additional firearms restrictions in CA. Since he's been Governor, I don't recall any comments from him and there are no big "Arnold" articles in
CRPA's "The Firing Line". I'm not hopeful, however.

"This is a class of dangerous and deadly weapons specifically designed for military use and urban combat," said Sam Hoover, staff attorney for the Legal Community Against Violence. Soooo, you'll be much deader than you would be if shot with a .45?
