but you have to understand that NY State is at the cusp of banning all .50 caliber center fire ammo....so they have a fish to fry and are vilifying all .50 cals and all firearms period....
Since I believe the first, primary, and way, way most important reason for the 2nd Amendment is for the violet opposition, overthrow, revolt against domestic tyranny by the mass of the citizens, at large....well...where do they get the power to remove citizen anti-tyranny self defense weapons? Seems like popular ownership of .50 BMGs would be a good thing.
