These extremely powerful sniper rifles are powerful enough to bring down airplanes and can fire a bullet a mile and penetrate a brick wall. They are for sale virtually anywhere, even at gun shows with no background checks. If this bill passes, these potential terrorist weapons would continue to be for sale with virtual blanket liability protection.”
Sounds pretty sensible to me!
You actually ever heard of a single terrorist act being commited with a Barret .50 cal? Or any .50 cal for that matter? Isnt the .50 already illegal in Kalifornia?
Do you realize that most every rifle bullet, down to a .22 caliber will carry a mile?
Did you know that armor piercing rounds are made for many caliber rifles, not just a .50 caliber?
Why would anyone be worried about an armor peircing round anyway? It is less deadly than a hollow point or soft-nose expanding bullet, or even better, a blended metal bullet,
But hey, why bother to think about the subject? Why bother with the facts of reality?
Better to just blindly be lead like a little sheep, nodding and saying "baaa baaa good idea baaa baaaa"
