Marine sniper Carlos Hathcock nailed a VC tax collector in VN with a .50cal with a scope at over 3,000 yards!
Just under a 3 mile shot.![](http://moran.house.gov/images/ban50caliber.jpg)
Moran's website.
A weapon which AMERICAN LEFTIST TAX COLLECTORS ALSO FEAR but mislead the public saying that a terrorist would use them on us.
"Just imagine if a terrorist got their hands on one of these guns and trained their sights on a train pulling hazardous cargo through the heart of Washington, D.C. It's a horrifying scenario that only a terrorist would want to see unfold," Mr. Moran said.
Washington Times Ban sought on .50-caliber rifles
Personally I believe every American Family Should be trained and own one!

Seeing as a .50 certainly does limit where a terrorist sniper can hide for cover I agree that having lots of trained civilians capable of effectively using one makes sense, but for everyone to actually own one I think is pushing it.
Military Companies do not arm every soldier with a .50 because they are primarily used as an anti-vehicle weapon. Stop the vehicle and then use M-16's/ mortars/etc. to kill the enemy soldiers.
Now guys like like Texas Cowboy, Eaker and Squantos think that these .50's should come with a young fella to carry it and the ammo, make coffee and clean it when they are done shooting. Kinda like a support maintenance team. LOL
