Of course the OBVIOUS solution is to ban .50BMG rifles so that criminal organizations like the BATFE can't sell them to other criminals.

[HoneyBadger]

Nothing will happen. The American public have readily accepted this level of consistent ineptitude and hypocrisy for several years already. Why would that change?

As I often point out... Iran can have nukes but we can't buy a 16 round magazine because the children. Or demanding mothers. Or common sense.

I can take a helicopter down by throwing a rock. Throw it in the tail rotor. Of course a .50 BMG is safer...lol

And stupid Fox news just showed the story and had video of a FULL AUTO 50 cal... Instead of what was actually seized.

You don't need a .50 to do the job.

Yeah...but a .50 cal is way sexier scarier than a .270 in a "news" story.

[Monky]

... wait you mean I haven't been letting mine shoot down helicopters? I'm such an asshole, it sits in its case like a good little .50 when all it wants is to shoot down a choppa.. Such an oppressive parent.

[roberth]

I think I'll self-present as an illegal alien drug lord, then the ATF will let me get whatever I want.

[milwaukeeshaker]

True.
