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."
Oh, yeah! I'd like to double my fun with two........or three!
But I like to eat, too......
Why is there snow everywhere?

.50MBG Ping
That should have been Tom Hank's line in that movie, but Hollywood would have cut it.
I guess I was having so much fun I didn't even know it was snowing!
We are (but not by much) and it is.
I believe you are confusing the "need for a .50 caliber" with the "RIGHT to own a .50 caliber.
I probably sound more like Forrest Gump than Tom Hanks did anyway, what with having grown up in The Heart of Dixie, and all.
Do I have to declare a need to own a 160 mph car? Do I need a Vette? Do I need a handgun that has a bullet diameter only 5 hundredths smaller than the God-forbid .50? The .45 is only a tiny step away from that kind of ignorance that the gun grabbers so love to nurture.

Humble took ......
I look forward to shooting your .50 again. It won't blow up will it??
Because I can't afford an 80 caliber weapon.
I'm sure this one will be ready and won't falter. Probably be President around 2044 or so.
Yea! now that's one fine look'n rifle!...(drooling)
Christmas may be early this year!
There is that, and so do I. But I'm down about 70 pounds since y'all came to San Antonio for the shoot and eat.
You mean like this?
Not unless you fill the barrel with sand!
His mother was a champion shooter, and probably still is!
I don't think there's any doubt where Logan's allegiance will lie.
None of your business fishboy. It's called FREEDOM, buy a clue card please.
