So long as demagogues can bamboozle the press into spreading hysteria against firearms - any firearms - they will continue to deflect public attention away from their own failure to defeat real crime and real criminals, much less real terrorism and genuine terrorists.

This says it all - they need to start being true Americans and go after the real terrorists and criminals.

Why do we act surprised?

One would think that Freepers, at least, would realize that the dis-information put out by the main stream media, government hacks and special intrest groups is just that. DIS-INFORMATION

50 cal, 45 cal, 9mm what's the difference? Pretty soon you'll only be able to have a 22 handgun and only by permission from the .gov.

The only people worried about these guns are Democrats. I wonder why?

Bang!

With the antigun cause now no longer sellable to most of the liberals who once embraced it before it cost them Algore's hopes of election (plus Congress) - and even the antigun Washington ComPost openly saying so - the antigun lobby is desperate for any version of the issue to get "marketability" for itself with politicians again.

Here's my Barrett, (and my Colt AR-15, Glock 19 and Winchester 12 gauge) most fun toy I've ever bought. I get more looks and comments at the range than you can imagine, especially after the first shot scares the fluids and solids out of even long-time shooters.

Worrying about criminals using .50 BMG is like worrying about drag racers using Sherman tanks.

Darn. I thought this was going to be about Henry Waxman's nostrils.

High capacity, drive-by-shooting, has no legitimate sporting purpose, if will save one child, the sky is falling, preferred weapon of gangs, I like cheese, all your .50s are belong to us, bump.

I can't believe the Hartford Courant actually published a pro 2nd column. This makes it only the second non-liberal article published by this oldest of U.S. publications... well, since forever.
