    Honestly I don't believe they should be selling .50BMG rifles to ANY police department ... not even in Texas ... not even my own Sheriff Maketa (a man of the law committed to the rights of the people).

    There is absolutely zero legitimate law enforcement use of the .50BMG. Period.

    But good for Serbu for standing up for the rest of us at potentially their own expense.

    that's exactly what I was going to say.
    Notice the little reference to Barrett's policies in their letter too.

    Now I have 2 .50's manufacturers to choose from. woohoo

    Just to play devils advocate, I hear the Coast Guard uses 50's on engine blocks for drug interdiction. Maybe that's their intention. Not that those farging bastages need them, good for Serbu.

    if they are using a barrett or a serbu to stop people or trucks in America they are wrong. these are not accurate firearms. I know I own one. there is WAY too much chance of collateral damage. Yes they shoot minute of truck. Cops dont need 50bmgs.

    if they cant do the job with a lesser caliber, then maybe they should get closer or find a new line of work. parking cars maybe.
