While they're at it you'd think they would ban the shoulder-fired rodent rocket. The squirrels are out of control in my neck of the woods.

Are all the above legislators...Democrats?
Here we go again - trying to make laws to solve problems that don't exist.
How many crimes were committed with a .50 cal rifle in the last 20 years?
Probably less than Ted Kennedy has committed in the last year.....
And a BUNCH less than the Clintons have committed in the last month (speculation).
They need to move this fast on Tax Cuts and Judicial Nominations.
What a bunch of Pissants!
These guns are so expensive, like a $500 permit would stop someone from getting it.. If you have $5000-$8000 to spend on a rifle and that shoots ammo that costs about $4-$5 a shot....
Totally ridiculous!
More of the same anti-freedom lies.
"Loose lips sink ships." Why in the hell is that below the posting button on my account? Oh yeah, they should go ahead and make a 49.5 caliber. Watch those Dems squirm.
this bill will go nowhere...don't worry about it.
never say never, I GUARANTEE the MSM mediots will get the MORON McCain to comment on this and put it on the front page. (cue the El Loco Diablo music!!!)
Contact your reps. Probably won't get out of commitee but we have to keep on them.
Yeah, gangbangers often cruise neighbourhoods with large, expensive rifles that require exotic, expensive ammo. What a bunch of clueless tools.

After that, they're hooked!!!
And I'm a lousy shot! (Never 25 for 25 after all these years).
The .50BMG slug is slightly less than 50 caliber, and California's ban... passed last year... is so tightly drawn that a 50 caliber rifle that was actually 50 caliber wouldn't be covered.
BTTT
They'll be a run on these things when word of this bill gets out. You can't pay for advertising like this.
I know. I forgot to add the /sarcasm line at the end. That was the point that I was trying to convey. Even if someone steals one of these guns, the ammunition is not as easy to find as .22 ammo. Where I live, you have to go to specialty gun stores to find .50BMG ammo. You also pay specialty prices for it.
It didn't work for "assault weapons", and, ultimately, it won't work for the 50. However, we need to make damn sure they learn this is a losing issue for them before they pass this abomination instead of after like on the AWB. Note this bastard legislation specifically does not include a "sunset clause", which means the rats learned the wrong lesson from the AWB.
Contact your reps today. Contact them tomorrow. Lather, Rinse, Repeat.
Keep up the pressure. Kill this thing before it even pokes its ugly head out of commitee.
