FReeper pistolshot used to maintain a FR Gun Club ping list, but I think he is long gone. I don't know if anyone else has a banglist - pinglist, but it would be a good idea. marktwain posts a lot of 2A articles, but I don't know if he'd be interested or not.
DaveLoneRanger also has an Armed Citizen list on his profile page

>>Did he also demonstrate its 5k+ price tag? Did they reference ANY crime thats been committed with a .50?<<
Tellingly, the Legislature points to no instance of this class of firearms being used by even a single criminal in New Jersey, Christie said.
California has a complete ban on .50-caliber rifles, Connecticut bans specific models and Maryland has some restrictions.
Earlier Friday, gun control advocate Bryan Miller took a disabled .50-caliber sniper rifle to the Statehouse to demonstrate its destructive capacity.
These are military weapons designed and manufactured to destroy material targets such as chemical plants, refineries, chemical and rail tanks and passenger aircraft, targets that abound in New Jersey, he said. A potential attack with a .50-caliber weapon could have a catastrophic environmental impact in the Garden State.

My understanding is California has a ban on .50 BMG, but the .510 DTC Europ with the same bullet and powder capacity is permitted.
In other words, if you have 5000$ to spend on a rifle, and another 7$ to spend on each round, you can still do nearly everything that the .50 BMG rifle can do.
I will have to check my local gun store.
Standard .30/06 ammunition in heavier weights (say 174 grain as used on WWI) will travel more than 2 miles. US converted to 150 grain rounds before WWII because the rounds would overfly the range limits on most machine gun ranges. They had attempted to convert to the shorter range lighter weight version before, but too many officers with experience in long range machine gun fire in WWI objected.

Christie said the permit changes adopted by lawmakers were impractical because they rely on technology that hasnt been developed. This is his reason, rather than the law being morally reprehensible and completely illogical based on human nature.

Same thing said about Romney and then you guys slobbered over yourselves saying how great he was. I could see the same thing happening in 2016.

There are much more effective weapons against the targets mentioned, than a 50cal.

Trying to endear himself to the 2016 primary voters already. Not gonna fly, fatass. This guy is an even bigger liberal than Dole/McCain/Romney.
