Subject: Barrett rifle controversy
To whom it may concern,
I am 73 years old and remember the post WW2 years with considerable clarity. I remember that in the late forties many magazines carried an ad for surplus anti-tank rifles of foreign manufacture. The rifles were single shot bolt action and fired a 12+mm. ( 50 cal) bullet. The rifles sold for $28.00 + S&H and came with military sling and cleaning kit. Only armor piercing bullets were available at the then outrageous price of $.35 each, far too rich for my pocket.
Thousands of these rifles must have been sold as the mail order ads were as common as those selling Cloverine or Charles Atlas Dynamic Tension exercises. To make my point, weapons that closely parallel the Barrett have been in circulation in this country for more than fifty years without incidence.

keep up the fight!
Fight it everyone...fight long and hard.
I guess I'll have to satisfy myself with my Ruger .480.
They don't realize that they are stoking the fire and the water is almost boiling.
I'll be buying an M-99 real soon. Something tells me the price will be going up as they close in on banning them.
