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.
Contact your reps. Probably won't get out of commitee but we have to keep on them.

After that, they're hooked!!!
And I'm a lousy shot! (Never 25 for 25 after all these years).

They'll be a run on these things when word of this bill gets out. You can't pay for advertising like this.
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.
Awwww gheeeesh......
This is a serious question to anyone reading this. Where can I get an inexpensive .50? They sure have everyone's panties in a bunch.
Heck with em. Think we got enough pubs to sink this piece of crap. I can't wait till the law takes effect here in Indiana - doin away with permits. If you own a gun, you'll soon be able to carry it in this state without a permit, or so my gun dealer buddy tells me.
*sigh*
Figgers my local DemonRat congresscritter, Earl "Bloomin'idiot" would be in on this clusterf**k. Want my .50, critters? Come 'n' get it, if you have the big brass ones...
A.A.C.
The reason to own a .50 cal sniper rifle is to defend yourself when the government comes to take away your .50 cal sniper rifle. That and because they look like so much FUN, don't they? You know they do.

FYI:
One can buy a 50BMG upper for an AR 15. (There are several manufacturers, google: "50 BMG upper"). This upper is an unregulated gun part, so that it can be bought without any paperwork in every state that I know if, for cash, by mail, or whatever. They cost under $2000, and simply use your AR-15 lower (basically, the trigger pack, which is the reguulated "firearm").
They can't confiscate what they don't know about.
