Only “1 or 2” .50 caliber sniper rifles? I thought those were a top choice among terrorists, because they could down an airplane from 4 miles away and shoot through schools?
In NI the 50 cal was apparently used mostly to give the troops ‘the fear’. It was never used at the kind of distances that a 50 cal is capable of achieving, a .30 or .22 cal could have served just as well.

They got political power out of the barrel of a gun. How likely do you think it actually is that they will give up all their guns?
Yeah. Me either.
