Sounds to me like just another state legislature with too much time on its hands. "Devil's Playthings" and all that...

[EagleUSA]

The socialists continue to worry about the reason the Second Amendment was created....

anti-armor sniper rifles

Whats that?

[LIConFem]

"The rounds fired by the sniper rifles are incendiary and could ignite the barge she said. "

Can one buy indendiary rounds OTC? If not, then anyone who can get them (illegally) can also get the rifle to fire them (also illegally, should this legislation ever pass).

More panicy, senseless, do-nothing legislation proposed by bed-wetting, freedom-loathing liberals.

Hmmm, guess I’ll have to get some incediary rounds... Oh wait - they’re already illegal!?!? Well, certainly a .50 cal rifle is still legal... and I’m sure your average Joe will be smack’in stuff out at 2000 yards with a few rounds pratice...

Gimme a break - these a$$clowns are so misinformed it would be funny if it wasn’t so pathetic...

[ZULU]

” According to the Violence Policy Center, “
???????????????????????

[caver]

Even if a .50 cal were used on a target, the shooter would probably only get one round off. I figure you can still hear that gun from 2000 yards.

Eddington cites a Web site ad for the Runner XM-107, claiming it “is the most innovative, unique, and novel firearm on today’s market,” and “breaks down collapsing into a very small, inconspicuous package.

I'll bet he thinks Lucky Charms are "magically delicious", too.

[from occupied ga]

The guns are accurate up to 2,000 yards,

This is just plain wrong. They're accurate to nearly 40 miles as any anti-gunner can tell you.

According to a press release from Eddington (Who like all anti-gunner would never lie to advance her agenda), and can pierce armor plating and steel from that distance. They are capable of even taking down a plane or disabling a tank.

Tank hell - a single hit from one of these babies can destroy a skyscraper - Doesn't she remember that the 911 murderers used a single hit from one of these on each of the world trade center towers to bring them down? The guns are accurate up to 2,000 yards, according to a press release from Eddington, and can pierce armor plating and steel from that distance. They are capable of even taking down a plane or disabling a tank. Why one round can destroy a city. (Who can forget birdman's nuclear tipped .50 BMG round?)

A small victory for those who put the 2ns Amendment FIRST!!!

Taking down a plane, that I cant disagree with. They have been used in warfare on our planes, in order to take down enemy planes, course those were belt fed automatic .50 calibers. As for a tank, care to cite a few examples?

Eddington is concerned the weapons could fall into the hands of terrorists

Baloney. Eddington is concerned about LAW ABIDING CITIZENS owning them.

Eddington is concerned the weapons could fall into the hands of terrorists law abding citizens.

There, fixed for accuracy.

Note that Eddingotn is concerned that the weapons could fall into the hands of terrorists. Not HAVE fallen into the hands of terrorists. Out of the thousands of terrorists in the world today, out of all the terrorist attacks so far, why havent they used a .50 caliber? Whats stopped them so far?

[neverdem]

Such ignorance in reporting is utterly astounding. This is one of the costs of an all volunteer military. You get fools regurgitating neoCOM baloney.
