The last part that says Ashcroft asked congress to reduce the record keeping for NICS, is a big fat LIE! AG Reno increased record keeping to 90 days in violation of the Brady bill, which says records can only be kept a maximum of 24 hours.

When they were shooting at the 1/2" steel plate at 300 yards, it sure looked like the .30 cal rounds were hitting the berm, kicking the snow up, and then ricochetting into the target with a DING! The .50 cal's were hitting in the center of the plate and making big holes.

Millions of unregulated womens uteruse's have been used to kill millions of the unborn. But we can't regulate that. So, let's control mean ole guns.

Hanging over my fireplace is a .50 Caliber Hawken. I always get a kick out of the reaction of my less firearm literate frineds when I tell them ..."yep... it's a .50 Caliber... a plains rifle.... a buffalo gun" They look at the thing like it's going to jump off the wall and attack them. Like it's innate power will harm them from it's place on the wall.

This is the guy that hopes to one day run for president under the GOP banner.

No RINOs in the GOP!

If he can do this for guns, imagine what he can do for unborn babies and immigration and who knows what other liberal crap he will endorse.

"The real question here is we do not know who has these terribly destructive rifles," says Diaz. "No one in the United States government knows who has these guns."

This is a good thing.

My new 82A1 will be here in April, just in time to have some fun at a nearby 1,000yd range in southcentral Penna.

My "old" 82A1 was sold on EBay for $900 more than I paid for it, in '01, sans Leupold Glass.

Sorry I missed the TV show, last evening.

At least they're not calling it an Assault Rifle anymore.

The 50 cal is a battlefield weapon. Ok. Whatever. Why shouldn't Americans have battlefield weapons? If you require an armed militia under the terms of the Constitution, you're going to need AT/AA weapons - not just poncey .50s. An armed militia can do without Aircraft carriers and Global Force projection, but a MILITIA MUST BE ABLE TO FIGHT A BATTLE.

"Tom Diaz, a gun control advocate who was an expert witness in the California campaign to ban the gun."

I googled Tom Diaz and La Raza, didn't find anything conclusive yet--but have some suspicions that Diaz is against our whole U.S. Constitution, not just the Second Amendment....

"Citizens Against Gun Violence" is a front for gun-grabbers who don't want to prosecute those who use guns for self-protection and to protect our Constitution.

Che Guevara awareness ping!

>>," says Diaz. "We control every other kind of weapon of war you can think of – machine guns, plastic explosives, rockets. But this thing has flown under the radar for about 20 years."<<


We need to be in control of everything that the people eat, drink or have fun with!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yeah sure, Diaz dip_hit

Good grief! These folks would have a conniption if they had lived in the 60's.

I remember Guns and Ammo running ads for war surplus .5" Boys and Lahti anti-tank rifles,20mm and 30mm anti-tank cannons and even 80mm mortars.

The fervent claims of the anti-gun lobby that "ready access to firearms" causes crime and shootings would be laughable were it not being utilized to effect the abrogation of a constitutionally defined fundamental individual right.


The truth is that firearms are more difficult to obtain now than ever before in our nation's history....yet crime and youthful violence have soared to unprecedented levels.

[B4Ranch]

You're going to give me nightmares if you keep posting this frightening stuff!

wimper, wimper, wimper, wimper, wimper, wimper, please stop telling the truth. I'm afraid now. boo hoo, boo hoo, boo hoo, boo hoo

It’s not convenience store robberies that worry Tom Diaz, a gun control advocate who was an expert witness in the California campaign to ban the gun.

That's two strikes- right off the bat Anytime the MSM calls someone an ex[ert witness, you know they're full of it, and bent on taking something away from you.

Diaz says the .50-caliber rifle made by Barrett and other manufacturers is a menace in the hands of terrorists. "This gun is designed and built to smash things up and to set things on fire," says Diaz. "It’s a battlefield weapon. Yet it is sold as freely on the American civilian market as a .22 bolt action rifle."

Jamie Gorelick gave the terrorists more firepower than Ronnie Barrett. Why isn't this numbnuts doing anything about HER?

"I'm glad Ronnie Barrett makes his rifle for our military forces. I think it's a great thing on the battlefield," says Diaz. "I just think that there are certain occasions when we say in our society, this product is such a threat to our health and safety, and in this case, our national security, we will not allow it."

Hey, Diaz, if a terrorist has one of these, don't I deserve the right to have one too?

[The Spirit Of Allegiance]

See my #9 post. We're on the same page here. Anything you know about CAGV links to La Raza, Marxism, etc?

No doubt they exist, just want to find them....

This past week, a new law went into effect in California banning that weapon.

WTF? Details? Is this true?

Does it prohibit new sales and grandfather existing guns?

Pathetic, Arnold is clearly out to lunch.

[Nuzcruizer]

Now I want one, and am going to go buy one right away before this state does a stupid thing.

[yarddog]

The .50 cal rifle really is more of an assassination danger.

I don't know any way to change that. For that matter, it's effectiveness is one reason it should be available to the general public, so not just the Government has power.

[R. Scott]

Barrett said he was surprised. "If it is out there and if someone other than our military has it, then it is stolen," he says. "And those people need to be prosecuted. We have laws against that. Passing additional laws, you know, is just a redundancy."

But…but…how can politicians claim to be protecting us from Great Evil if they don’t enact redundant laws?
