[Fido969]

No one has ever been killed with a .50 cal in the US, (unless there is an incident where the police used one.)

Ted Kennedy's car killed Mary Jo Kopechne .

Killed by .50cal = 0
Killed by Teddy = 1

It's just not a gun that lends itself to criminal activity. This is a solution in search of a problem.

Let's outlaw what IS dangerous - rather than what the liberal birdbrains say MIGHT be dangerous.

... left Miss Kopechne behind to die in the waters underneath the Edgartown Bridge in July 1969, after a night of drinking and partying with the young blonde campaign worker.

But most Americans under 40 have never heard that story, or details of how Kennedy swam to safety, then tried to get his cousin Joe Garghan to say he was behind the wheel.

Those young voters don't know how Miss Kopechne, trapped inside Kennedy's Oldsmobile, gasped for air until she finally died, while the Democrats' leading Iraq war critic rushed back to his compound to formulate the best alibi he could think of.

.50 BMG, you mean. Pistols have been used.

But...according to John Lott...Has anyone in the US ever been murdered by a 50 caliber rifle? Apparently, No:

The one possible case of someone being murdered with a 50 caliber gun supposedly occurred about a decade ago. The initial story that I had seen was immediately after the crime occurred. Well, I was recently given this follow up article from jury testimony that indicates even in that one case the murder was not from the 50 caliber gun.

Even the gun-grabbers can't come up with a case...
