More 50 Caliber Hysteria
Looks like the VPC has teamed up with the usual anti-gun politicos to push for a federal ban on 50 Caliber Anti-armor Sniper Rifles:
The Violence Policy Center (VPC) today joined Representatives Jim Moran (D-VA), Patrick Kennedy (D-RI), and Carolyn McCarthy (D-NY) at a Capitol Hill press conference in support of federal legislation sponsored by Rep. Moran to ban 50 caliber anti-armor sniper rifles. Fifty caliber anti-armor sniper rifles can penetrate armor plating, pierce rail cars carrying toxic chemicals, and destroy aircraft. An ArmaLite AR-50 sniper rifle was displayed at the press conference.

The .50 caliber ban is a real life saver. I mean, the California ban has been effect for more than a month, and I haven’t been shot by a single .50 BMG rifle since.

Now when they come after me for liking the .50, as they likely will next summer, that will be going too far.

It irks me to no end that Moran is my congressman.
