[50 Shooter]

I can't believe no one posted this here yet, either that or I missed it.

AB50, bill to ban .50 Caliber (Sniper) rifles died! Poor little dweeb Koretz didn't get his bill through. Guess we'll get a reprieve until next year when (I'm sure) he'll try again. The only thing this guy is noted for is getting a city ban against de-clawing your cats!!! :rolleyes:

Anyway, for anyone that can make it, we'll be shooting at ASR on the 20th www.angelesranges.com Should be having a BBQ also to celebrate.

Thank for the post 50 shooter !

That's great news!

I wonder if Ronnie Barrett's principled stand (as mentioned in other THR thread) had anything to do with it? :D

[Nightfall]

Congrats, PRK! Maybe you can twist this around and use it somehow... "Give us our assault weapons back! After all, we kept our .50 rifles and they're much more powerful than any assault weapon!" ;)

THIS IS AWESOME!!!!!!

I am SO glad! And I called in to make my voice heard!

Really though, I was very seriously considering purchasing a .50 Barrett if they banned them, so the death of this bill saved me $3000!

FCSPI Email Alert
Victory in CA!

Thanks to a last ditch effort by FCSPI and a team of pro-gun leaders, AB-50, California’s 50 caliber ban was defeated today in the Senate Public Safety Committee. FCSPI President John Burtt traveled to Sacramento to testify and was joined by the NRA’s Ed Worley, California Rifle and Pistol Association’s Jerry Upholt, Gun Owners of California’s Sam Paredes and Safari Club’s Kathy Lynch.

AB-50 had been pulled from last week’s committee schedule and in the interim, FCSPI presented Committee members with documented expert testimonials that dispelled the ridiculous anti-gun myths put forth by the backers of the 50 ban. The bill was heard today in Committee and defeated. It is effectively dead for this session, although we expect anti-gun forces to try again next year.

Supporters in California should take the time to thank two Senators whose votes were very important to this victory. Committee Chairman Senator Bruce McPherson (R-15) and Committee Vice-Chair John Vasconcellos (D-13) both took the time to hear the credible testimony and evidence put forth by FCSPI and cast votes that allowed the bill to die in Committee. You can find their contact info at www.sen.ca.gov <http://www.sen.ca.gov/> _ be sure to take the

On Friday, FCSPI will be announcing the winners of the Windrunner and Hollywood Press fundraiser. We will also be making a major announcement that will have dramatic impact on the fight to protect the 50 and the future of our gun rights. Stay tuned and thanks for your support.

Dr. Jones, you must buy a 50BMG *because* of this victory. Save up a few months and give Ronnie a call.

It will take me until next year, but buy I will.

What red-blooded 'merican wouldn't?
