Like a bad penny...
That sort of goes with Kalifornia banning the .50 BMG because they say that it is the "perfect" weapon for gangs and criminals to use in committing violent crimes. I may not be correct, but I do think that I’ve read several places that a .50 BMG chambered weapon has never been used in the commission of a violent crime in California, or anywhere else in this country for that matter, yet they ban that caliber because it’s “perfect” to use in crimes.
Okay, let’s think about it. Although I sold my AR-50 late last year, it weighed over 35 pounds with the bipod and scope and it was right at 5’ in length. It's a long range heavy fire weapon. How would that be a perfect weapon for…say a bank robbery? Can you picture a mental image of a criminal trying to sneak up to a bank and conceal that weapon before surprising a teller with it?! Or, how about a drive by shooting? First, it’s right at 60” in total length. That means that it’s gotta stick out the window by a couple of feet or so or the bad guy with the gun would have to hand out the other side of the car by a couple of feet. Let’s say that (to be politically correct), John, hangs out one side of the car and has his .50 BMG all the way inside the car while, uh, Fred and Joe drive him past the house they want to shoot. What’s going to happen when John pulls the trigger?
First off, John is going to be fully ejected out of the car and will pick up a bad case of road rash at best. Fred and Joe are likely going to be deaf for life from the blast. But that’s not going to be the worst part for Fred and Joe. The blast will also act sort of like a concussive grenade inside that car. Some or all the windows may blow out or shatter. Fred and Joe are likely going to be knocked out or knocked silly besides bleeding from their ears and permanently deaf. They’ll only make it about another hundred yards or so before they ram a parked car that neither notice.
In the mean while, the shot misses it’s intended target ‘cause John is a bit nervous about shooting his BMG from a moving car. The round passes completely through the front wall of the house, through 4 walls inside, and out the back wall of the house. It then goes on for another block and, after the deflection from passing through the first house, hits a transformer on a utility pole. That transformer explodes and the pole falls over onto, of all people’s, Fred’s house (you do know that most street violence happens within somewhat tight areas of neighborhoods) and catches it on fire. Fred’s mom runs out screaming (Fred still lives at home obviously) and watches her house burn to the ground.
Yeah, the .50 BMG makes the perfect gun for violent crimes.

Politicians should stick to what they are good for, extorting money from those scum that want something done for THEM, so that in some way they can screw the people that elected them.
As far as the perfect weapon, apparently this dipstick has no clue about weapons, crime, or even how to use a weapon correctly.
Some people just dont deserve to use up energy, they should shut up, sit down and let those that know do the job.
I eagerly wait for the day when the 'parties' are no longer, NO ONE can run for office unless they use ONLY THEIR MONEY>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>no campaign money, no 75 million, part of my money, from the govt to run, YOUR OWN MONEY AND YOUR OWN BRAIN. Oh, and while at it................NO TV NEWS OF WHAT THEY ARE DOING.............you want to know you go to the rallies they are paying for.
