Now that the board voted 4-0 to ban firearms dealers from distributing powerful .50-caliber rifles in the county's unincorporated areas, I certainly hope the people of CC Co. feel much safer.

eh why wait, just go for .22. Or even the .17 Hornet.

Why all the delaying and frog boiling? Either ban or stop the madness.

To highlight the weapon's destructive power, supervisors showed a Marine training video of a .50-caliber rifle blowing holes in a 31/2-inch-thick manhole cover and a stack of 8-inch thick cinder blocks.

The gun rights advocates cried foul, saying the film demonstrated a military assault rifle and armor-piercing bullets, both already illegal under state and federal law.

More Eastbay silliness.

Surely, .50 cal enthusiasts will go to another county to purchase their hardware and Contra Costa will lose out on the sales tax revenue (isn't it something like 8.5% in CA now?). Stooopid.

Shoot straight!!

The four idiots who passed the vote will sleep so much better now knowing they have done every little thing they could .........and the money from the DNC will start coming in too!

Plus they will now be favorites of Dingbat Feinstein. That's a big plus!

Wondering what is cropped out of the photo in the direction of the gun barrel. Just curious.

The people that would shoot at a refinery would buy their guns locally? Idiots.

It's good to know that no law-abiding citizens will be shooting up oil tanks.
