Dear xxxxxx

We are pleased to tell you that the campaign to protect America from "50 Caliber Terror" is gaining momentum! This week the New York State Assembly passed a package of legislation to stem the tide of gun violence that included a ban on .50-caliber sniper rifles.

And in Illinois, Chicago Mayor Richard Daley announced 4 pieces of gun violence prevention legislation that also included a bill to restrict anti-armor, .50-caliber sniper rifles.

Your support of the Freedom States Alliance is helping to educate America about these weapons of terror. You can help us build our campaign by asking your friends, family, and co-workers to join the Freedom States Alliance by signing up here: https://app.etapestry.com/hosted/FreedomStatesAlliance/Signup.html

And to keep you informed, below is an article on the legislation in NY to keep .50-caliber sniper rifles out of the hands of terrorists. When you read this article you can see how our messages and campaign is making an impact thanks to your support.

2006 is here and the Freedom States Alliance is off and running and we're just getting started.

Sincerely,

"50 Caliber Terror" – A homeland security campaign by the Freedom States Alliance.

Banning 50-Caliber Weapons

Another proposal, sponsored by Assemblywoman Patricia Eddington (D-Patchogue), would ban 50-caliber sniper weapons, which can be used to disable commercial aircraft and helicopters and are powerful enough to penetrate steel plating. These dangerous weapons which are used extensively by the United States military, are accurate from over one mile away. They continue to be available for purchase in New York by anyone who can buy a rifle. A report from the nationally-renowned Violence Policy Center found that these weapons have been purchased by the Al Qaeda terrorist network and used by other domestic and international terrorist organizations. Silver noted the Assembly had sought to include a ban on these weapons in a comprehensive state anti-terrorism law passed two years ago, but the proposal was rejected by the Senate and the governor each time. Silver called attention to California's recent enactment of legislation banning these weapons and called on New York to do the same.

"A 50-caliber weapon in terrorist hands is a nightmare scenario. With deadly accuracy, it can destroy targets from over a mile away. Designed for assassination and armor piercing, they are military weapons with no legitimate purpose on our streets. They are a clear and present terrorist threat," said Assemblywoman Patricia Eddington. "These weapons of war are easier to buy than handguns. Banning the 50-caliber weapon is one way we can fight the war on terror." To Donate http://www.50caliberterror.com/donate

So a loaded mag would cost you $450.00 Ow

The rate of fire of the altered L39/44 full-auto version is listed at 2 rounds per second, or 120 RPM. Lubrication, ammo loading, spring tension and other factors can influence that considerably, particularly in sub-zero conditions, but I've seen that doubled...the reason for the 20-round AA magazines.

I have a McBros, A M82A1 and a old Daisy AMAC and Uncle Sugars bed wetters ain't getting any of em back in the manner they think they will.........

As my 50th birthday approached, I decided a .50 rifle would be a suitable present to myself for reaching that milestone, which had been kind of iffy at a couple of times along the way. After considerable shopping and tire-kicking, I went with a rebarrelled WWII Boys AT rifle reworked for the .50 BMG. I learned a few things fromthat old poodle-shooter.

I've also played with the Arkansas AMAC's, but it's the .50x77 M8C spotter rifle cartridge that most intrigues me, at least in terms of cartridge development.

A 20MM necked down to .338 ?!?!?!??..........I WANT one !

Eek! No, I meant a 20x139mm case necked down to .50, somewhat resembling a REALLY overgrown 7,62 NATO blank cartridge, the idea being that L39 Lahti users could file-and-trim to 20x139 dimensions, and the .50 shooters after higher velocities could watch their rifling fly out the muzzle with each shot. But a saboted .338 might be do-able, though I've yet to work up a drawing of the 8.60x139mm Squantos....
