Utter stupidity.

"Joseph King, a terrorism expert at the John Jay College of Criminal Justice in New York, said terrorists could use the weapon to take out a plane."

Really...they why did the P-51 and F-86 have 6 .50 BMG guns and the P-47 8 if all you needed was one round?

Earlier in the article we had:

"But the powerful gun has drawn plenty of critics, who say the rifle could be used by terrorists to bring down commercial airliners or penetrate rail cars and storage plants holding hazardous materials."

A few years back a rather tipsy individual shot a hole in the trans Alaska pipeline with a plain old .338. Any of the big game rounds (.375 .458 not to mention the Weatherby speedsters such as the .378 and .460) This is just another anti-gun lunatic fringe group out to ban all guns a little at a time.

--sounds about like the typical "expert"--wonder what else he knows that he doesn't really know --
