The United States Constitution

Hmmm.. The Socialist Republic of Kalifornia strikes again.

[hoosierham]

SOME police really don't like any citizen being armed.

The Ohio stae patrol has enjoyed veto power in the CCW issue despite Republican (RINO) governors.

[weaponeer]

Most excellent letter.

BUMP

[coloradan]

Since 1968, with the closing of the U.S. Springfield Amory, 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.

[...]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 [...] against civil liberties regarding gun ownership.

[...]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.

Great letter... makes my want to go out and buy a .50 just to show my support for this Patriot.

Since the VPC always points out that a 50 caliber rifle can shoot through armored tanks, can shoot down aircraft, and can be used for all kinds of other scary military uses I want to ask one simple question.

What does a policeman need a 50 caliber BMG rifle for?

Can the States of the United States come together and vote to do away with a State? Kalifornia does not speak for the rest of the country nor does it abide by the laws of the land...seem like if we voted them in the union we could vote them out!

[ItisaReligionofPeace]

Anyone who voluntarily lives in Kalifornia deserves what he/she gets in my humble opinion.

[nunya bidness]

IHC bump!

[cavtrooper21]

Wish it were so, but Kalifornia has a loud and whiny voice in both DC and the media. More sound than substance, as it were... I keep hoping for the BIG earthquake that will set them adrift on the wide blue sea, never to be seen (or heard from) again!

[Shooter 2.5]

The ones who stay and fight the unjust laws should have your respect. They are fighting your battle before it gets to you.

[Stew Padasso]

Flight or fight for Kalifornia bump.

"What does a policeman need a 50 caliber BMG rifle for?"

Our militarized "law enforcement" has become the standing army our founders feared.

[Dick Vomer]

sign me up... the guy has stones and I'm gonna buy one. Now I jest gotta find me a deer that needs some killin with a .50 cal.

I hope he sends the gun back and tells them to fix it themselves.

"Great letter... makes my want to go out and buy a .50 just to show my support for this Patriot."

Total agreement. I wish I had the $5,000 for a Barrett cause this guy is top shelf in his product and patriotism.

[FreedomCalls]

I have expressed that exact same sentiment before. I'm glad that someone agrees with me. Police were never intended to be militarized like they have become. I have stated in the past that the whole Ruby Ridge incident could have been avoided by not sending in the SWAT team but by sending in a pot-bellied old sheriff to knock on Randy Weaver's door and say "Hey Randy, what's up? Ya know you missed yer court date the other day." Then Randy would have said, "No I didn't." and the sheriff could have said "They changed the date on you. You didn't know?" and all would have been well. But the minute you surround the place with BATF SWAT commandos, you have to expect things to turn out differently.
