Not unlike the freddies and the moose parading around the variety of semi auto rifles
and their inacurate portrayel of their (the rifles) being particularly deadly compared to any other rifle of rifle of similar or larger caliber...
But then truth is not the weapon of choice for gun grabbers and others who hate Americans and their freedom...
To: Mulder
I've been wanting to buy one for a while, just because the gun grabbers don't want me to have one.

The battle won't get to me...at least not anytime soon. Luckily most places in my neck of the woods are a good fifty years from even thinking about being like "progressive" California. Mind you, I feel for those good people who are left in communist states such as CA.
To: Inspector Harry Callahan
Since 1968, with the closing of the U.S. Springfield Armory, all of the small arms produced for the various government agencies are from the private sector. Every handgun, rifle or shotgun that law enforcement needs comes from this firearms industry. Unless the City of Los Angeles has plans of setting up its own firearms manufacturing, it may need to guard the manufacturing sources it has now. I say that the firearm manufacturers refuse to sell to state agencies like California, Maryland, New York and New Jersey. The states with harsh gun control laws take the customers of these manufacturers and will most likely file lawsuits against them in the future. Let the cops go unarmed and see how long the order of state holds together without evil guns.

The battle may come to you sooner than you think possible. Harsh federal gun control laws could be put in place that could nationally destroy the 2nd Amendment in the future.

When I returned to my office from Los Angeles, I found an example of our need for mutual cooperation. Your department had sent one of your 82A1 rifles in to us for service. All of my knowledge in the use of my rifle in the field of law enforcement had been turned upside down by witnessing how your department used yours. Not to protect and serve, but for deception, photo opportunities, and to further an ill-conceived effort that may result in the use of LA taxpayer monies to wage losing political battles in Washington against civil liberties regarding gun ownership.
I am battling to what service I am repairing the rifle for. I will not sell, nor service, my rifles to those seeking to infringe upon the Constitution and the crystal clear rights it affords individuals to own firearms.
I implore you to investigate the facts of the .50, to consider the liberties of the law-abiding people and our mutual coexistence, and to change your department's position on this issue.
ATTA BOY RONNIE!
Now if the other manufacturers could demonstrate a lick of common sense and switch on to the FACT that this is one of the most effective tools (free enterprise) to protect all of our rights, the howling of screechy little communist anti-American rights-robbers of the anti-gun clicks will fall on VERY deaf ears!

My response would be: "Fix it yourselves. Also, no further orders for my firearms will be accepted from the LAPD."
But that's just me.
Thanks for posting this Harry.

Here's what the VPC says:
Criminal Use of the 50 Caliber Sniper Rifle Two of the instances they list:
Branch Davidian cult members fired 50 caliber sniper rifles at federal agents during their initial gun battle on February 28, 1993. The weapons' ability to penetrate "any tactical vehicle in the FBI's inventory" prompted the agency to request military armored vehicles "to give FBI personnel adequate protection from the .50 caliber rifles" and other more powerful weapons the Branch Davidians might have had.
On February 27, 1992, a Wells Fargo armored delivery truck was attacked in a "military style operation" in Chamblee, Georgia, by several men using a smoke grenade and a Barrett 50 caliber sniper rifle. Two employees were wounded.

If properly worded a ban on .50 cal weapons, can also include any shotgun larger than .28 ga.
