Has any U.S. citizen ever been killed with a bullet from a 50 cal. semi auto rifle?
Now the Thompson was 45 and it was used by the gangstaaah.
But the 50BMG? I have never heard of a single case.
[[You can breathe a sigh of relief ... for now]]
Really? Our republican representatives BETRAYED us by allowing htis UNCONSTITUTIONAL bill even make it to hte floor for a vote, and we can now ‘breath a sigh of relief’? Really? The left WON- they succeeded in DUPING the TRAITORS on the right into bring a bill before the senate which VIOLATED out inalienable RIGHTS thus openign hte4 door for hte left to bring ANY UNCONSTITUTIONAL Bill to the floor vor a ‘vote’- and we’re suppsoed to be releived now?
Chris Christie’s Gun Crime Solution: Ban .50 Caliber Rifles
“The Gov wants to ban the purchase of Barrett .50 cal rifles. Does it matter that you can probably count the number of crimes committed in the nation’s armpit with a .50 BMG on zero fingers? Apparently not.”
[[Moreover, if Obama tries to make another run at gun control, pro-gun senators are prepared to go on the offensive and offer amendments to back Harry Reid down. These provisions would include pro-gun amendments that:
•Cut Justice Department funds for states with gun confiscation and registration (i.e., New York, Connecticut, Maryland);]]
Why aren’t they bringign these amendments ANYWAYS as a punishment to NY Conn Maryland for VIOLATING OUR INALIENABLE RIGHTS AND for Abusign hteir power and office? Why isn’t the congress bringing charges for abuse of power agaisnt thsoe states?
bflr
Yes, they are. Most people think GOA is just an inferior copycat of the NRA but they do their jobs.
At least the GOA doesn’t have “supporters” such as Harry Reid and a good number of the liberal Dems in Congress.
[[Realize that many of these Senators who voted right were under INTENSE PRESSURE to vote wrong.]]
Really? More intrense than their oath to uphold the constitution and hteir promise to Aemricans to protect hteir inalienable rights? Thjey couldn’t have mounted a shame campaign agaisnt hte left by callign htem out in a press cofnerence declaring that the left thinks our inalienable rights are ‘fair game for a vote’?
We the peopel had to sweat it out because we didn’t know if we had enough senators with enough backbone to stand up for our inalienable rights, and we’ve got to sweat it out from now on apparently, because the right REFUSES to call out hte left in such a way that they cave to pressure due to the exposure of their ANTI-AMERICANISM and for their shameful assaults on our inalienable rights! We apparently have to just cross our figners, and hope each time a new UNCONSTITUTIONAL bill is broguht to the floor for vote-
A TRUE victory woudl have been to watch the left shrink, tuck tail and run away to the sewers they crawled out of due to shame for beign so dispicable for wantign to VIOLATE our inalienable rights!

The NRA were ready to compromise make no mistake...
They supported unconstitutional background checks before and would do so again.
But here’s the secret: two groups called GOA and NAGR stopped this dead in its tracks and Paul/Lee/Cruz were very important. Thank God for their elections in 2010 and 12’.
I encourage freepers to become members of GOA and check out NAGR on facebook where they have 1 million members (!) this makes them a potent force online when they send out an update.
This recent debate was a stark reminder that the 2nd hangs by the balance whether it’s a few senators or a few votes on the Supreme Court. The marxists never give up they pretty much said they will bring it back.
They make me sick. They will not leave us alone.
They force us to defend our rights with our dollars and our time but if that’s what it takes then whatever.. I dont care... what price liberty?
Larry is a true warrior and patriot.
Yes, he’s very impressive. When I shook his hand I complimented him and thanked him for all he’s doing.
How did Harry Reid vote on the bill?
Terror attack happened at the worst possible time for this bill, who the hell doesn’t want a gun now?
Thank God we have a least 1 issue where the public is our side and our “leaders” actually don’t eff it up.
While I am joyous that Obama had his butt kicked on this it wasn't/isn't the bill that I was really concerned with.
Many more in the GOP are dedicated to supporting amnesty for illegals than they were to the gun control bills. Rub and Gramnesty voted against the gun bill.
Hopefully this bombing can be used effectively to stop the Rubio/MCain/Schumer/Durbin sellout.
That's New Jersey only. Cristie Creme is pushing it.
Christie is probably looking to ban the .50 because he wants to do away with the only rifle that could take him down with a single shot. (even then, shot placement might be key)
Seems to be the consensus opinion around here, and I agree. The only people who would feel threatened by such a firearm, would be entrenched despots. There've never been any crimes of note committed with that weapon, so why ban it?

Thank you, that one never hit the local news. So once no key can have a .50 cal rifle in NJ all gun crime will be solved???
Agreed.
