Are all the above legislators...Democrats?

As I'm reading this, it's actually the support ("tripod") that is banned. This bill seems to define "sniper rifle" as one that has some sort of support other than human. Ergo, this bill bans tripods.

Like most on this forum, I'm at a loss to find an example of a .50 being used in a crime. Malvo and Mohammed used a .223 for his sniper killings as I recall.

Would this also ban muzzleloader 50's as well?

Like any other gun that the Left tries to ban, there are already enough in circulation that a law banning sales is totally ineffective. The only law that is effective is one banning possession, and that's only effective if the police conduct Iraq-style house-to-house weapons searches.
