.30 calibers will be next.

JFK was shot with a 6.5mm, MLK with a .30-'06. Why didn't the assasins choose .50 caliber rifles if they're so great for assasinations?

Someone should tell LA the reason for the right to bear arms is not to protect hunting, it's to protect freedom. Socialists hate guns because they know it empowers the individual, reducing the power of the state.

They have only been around since the late 80 or early 90s.
Although the marines used a scoped and modified ma duece in vietam.

Why .50 calibers? It's simply divide and conquer, my good man. Divide and conquer.

Oh, they know full well that .50 cals aren't used for assassinations, despite what they may say. It's all about banning firearms that could be used effectively against police or national guard vehicles (armored or otherwise).
