Thanks for the welcome to FR.
Now, how many of you have seen various attacks on the .50 caliber target rifle in the media of late? At least one California community is attempting to 'ban' the .50 caliber.
Note well that NOT ONE INSTANCE OF THESE HIGHLY EXPENSIVE TARGET RIFLES HAS EVER BEEN USED IN THE COMMISSION OF A CRIME!
That is correct, zero criminal activity, and a very well coordinated effort to ban a target rifle. So, ask yourself what is really going on with the so called gun control or misnamed gun safety groups. With zero criminal usage, 100% lawful usage, and a nationwide effort to ban, what is the real objective?
MAKE NO MISTAKE, THEY WANT TO TAKE AWAY THE RIGHT AND MEANS OF SELF DEFENSE. incrementally.
Note my comment in 25. A year or so Mayor Daley had a ban instituted on ownership of .50 caliber by Police, and I think all Chicago city employees, maybe someone can help me here.
.50 caliber anything, blackpowder, in a shotgun/blackpowder deer state. So much for city employees reenacting on July 4. Every few years some councilman introduces a ban on common calibers used in crime , that's all .22, .38., .44, .45, 9mm are used for after all. Sometimes accompanied by a ban of ammo over 1000 fps (penetrates vests) at the muzzle, legal deer hunting velocity in many states.
If you can't do it all at once, do it incrementally, feasible if you count on the ignorance of the voters.
