Urgent FCI Alert:,
"As you know, we've been fighting a 50 ban in California every year. FCI and other gun rights groups, including the National Rifle Association, have been successful so far, but a ban is slowly working its way through the legislature.
The California Senate Appropriations Committee is scheduled to have a hearing on AB-50 on Wednesday, August 4th. This committee is responsible for funding California government operations. And despite the massive debt facing California, despite the broken budgets of California's public safety agencies, the legislature is still considering ordering California's public safety agencies to waste even more money on one of the world's most ridiculous gun control schemes.
AB-50 would require California to make major alterations to their 'Assault Weapons' registry, to include a variety of odd provisions for fifty caliber owners. We've seen Canada waste more than a billion dollars on failed computer registry schemes, now Hollywood liberals want to import this mess to California.
But that doesn't stop crazy anti-gun liberals, there's no limit to how much taxpayer money they can waste in the name of promoting useless gun control. Not only does California law enforcement have to waste money on a gun control database for fifty caliber target rifles, but they have to undertake a PR campaign to promote the new gun control law.
This logic could only make sense in Hollywood - let's take away tax money for all Californians to waste on an imaginary problem, and then let's hire our PR pals in Hollywood to promote it!
You don't have to be a fifty owner to be outraged at this nonsense in Sacramento. Please pass this on to your friends and urge them to contact the Appropriations Committee. Tell them not to waste California's precious dollars on failed gun control schemes and OPPOSE AB-50."
Not this sh** again. I guess I'd better fire up my fax machine once more.
And you need a 50 caliber weapon--why?
Simply remind them that the Second Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America (not the USSR nor the USSA) provide for the legal and lawful citizens to protect themselves and the country from TYRANNICAL RULE as demonstrated by the 9th Circus Court and the California legislators.
What? Are you saying the NRA are rife with confusion and incompetence? OK. So are there any actual news stories today?
Home defense. Duh.
And you need a tyrinical goverment- why?.
Actually the question is: "And I SHOULDN'T have a 50 caliber weapon -- why?"
It's not up to the government to tell me what calibre of weapon I can own. In fact, they don't even need to know what I own - it's none of their business.
I assume there was supposed to be a sarcasm tag after that............or at least I HOPE there was!
Pinging some Texas shooters who know some California shooters!

And it's any of your business why?
And somebody needs a Ferrari -- why? Because it's fun to own. Speeding Ferrari owners have killed far more people than .50 owners (since as far as I know, the number of homicides committed with a .50 in the US is zero)
Do you detect a certain tilt in the answers to your question, Sen. Schumer?
It's not the need that is important. Stopping a precedence is what is important. 50 cals are just like every other rifle except in caliber. Ban the .50 and eventually every other rifle will be banned as well.
Who died and appointed you arbiter of the Declaration of Independence, US Constitution and Bill of Rights, fishface?
The US, state and local governments aren't in any position to determine what we should think, buy and own. But apparently, you and they, think so.
Think again, fishface.
