Everyone knows they lie or are just misinformed, but this is just crazy.  I read the article about the Illinois groups fighting againts the 50 BMG and pocket rocket handguns and I couldn't believe this crap.  Read this:

"Our police officers are becoming outgunned by the ever increasing lethality of the firearms that gun companies are pedaling to the public," said Bob Williamson of the Illinois Council Against Handgun Violence. "We don't need weapons of military warfare, such as the .50 caliber sniper rifle, or weapons of urban warfare, such as the pocket rockets, sold at a gun store near you."

If I am not mistaken I have read a press release by Barret stating that the 50 BMG has never been used to commit any crime.  How can they claim police are being outgunned by them.  Are gang fights occurring at 1000m nowadays? Furthermore how can police be "outgunned" by a "pocket rocket" (I love their cute euphemisms, what happened to Saturday Night Special)?  These people are the reason we need licenses to own in our stupid state.

Anti looking at a .50 bmg rifle:
"This gun is too big!"
Anti looking at a .25 purse pistol:
"This gun is too little!"

Always looking for a boogieman, those silly antis.

A .50 BMG can not be a sniper rifle.  Can you imagine lugging that big ass thing thru 300 yards of dry grass while on your belly?

I know how ya feel man, that's why my tactics have changed from being pro-active to being prepared!!

I think the antis found out the full phrase for "Saturday night special"

Namely "Saturday night in niggertown".  Has the bad "N" word in it and is un-pc.

Thank you for the informative article about the .50 caliber and pocket rocket guns.  They sounded so interesting that I need to get one now!  Please advise me where I can get the 50 cal. Two important things however, I am only willing to spend 2500.00 and all laws must be complied with.  The Pocket rocket sounds fascinating, but I don't know what it is or where I can get one.  Please send more info about it.  Isn't this a great country, where civilians are allowed to own such hardware?  I am so glad to live here.

Thanks again, Keep up the good work!
