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.

Always knew Barrett was a good guy. But after reading this letter I'd be doubly proud to own a Barrett .50 cal rifle.

"I am battling to what service I am repairing the rifle for."

Whatever he is trying to say I don't understand.

Good intentions is no excuse for bad writing.

"...less tolerant of individual rights..."

While I agree this is an excellent article and this man is a true patriot, there are certain buzz words we as a people in a constitutional republic should not use in certain context.
The people in this country have got to stop using words like tolerate, allow, civil rights, etc., and start using the correct words and statements that go along with them.

Instead of stating "...other regimes less tolerant of individual rights than the United States . " , I'd say something like other regimes that do not have a constitution securing the individual rights.
To use the word "tolerant" implies that we (like other countries) need governmental permission to do anything.

Tolerate "To allow , to be or done without prohibition; permit. "

As I've stated in the past, liberals don't care about the constitution, liberty, rights or any of that. Liberals believe that they are all knowing and that they and they alone can dictate what you can and can't do. We can continue to show them FBI (and other) reports that guns curb crime more often then help crime. It doesn't matter. Liberals believe that we are living in a democracy and if enough of them get together they can vote away all your God given Constitutionally secured rights.

We are fighting people who really don't give a tinkers damn about anyone's rights but their own and even then they call 'em privileges.

YES! BUMP THIS BABY TO THE TOP! BTTT!

When EVRY manufacturer refuses to sell to the police, the same police who are attempting to ban most of the manufacturers' market from buying from the manufacturers, maybe, just maybe, these idiot cops will change their tune. If they can't have their toys, then they might think twice.
