CA gun grabbers seek revenge through liberal media!

The Fifty Caliber Institute, along with other pro-gun activists and organizations, scored an amazing victory by defeating
California's proposed ban on 50's in a Senate Committee just weeks ago.

But the backers of the bill have crawled out of the ashes of their defeat and are using their friends in the liberal media to get some revenge.

A recent editorial in the San Jose Mercury News attacks two Senators for failing to support this ridiculous gun control and offers more of the same lies about 50bmg rifles.

From claiming the guns fire bullets that are five and a half inches long to suggesting they can shoot planes from the sky,
this editorial looks like a cheap cut and past job from a VPC gun ban press release and it probably is.

The Fifty Caliber Institute has responded in an editorial that counters these lies with facts and reason similar to the argument
that allowed us to prevail in the Democrat controlled Senate. We wouldn't be surprised if it the paper doesn't have the guts to
print it, so you can find it at our web page.

You can view the garbage editorial and FCI's response at our new web page, wwww.fiftycaliber.org

Our site has a new look that matches the new and invigorated mission of the Fifty Caliber Institute. Be sure to bookmark it and
check back frequently, and tell your fellow friends of liberty all about it.

Yours in Freedom,

John Burtt

Hmmm... Are the individuals who grind out the San Jose Murky News skillful enough to cut and paste? I'd have to see proof before I'd believe it.

The .50BMG: a cartridge so big, its official web site needs an extra dubya.

Try http://www.fiftycaliber.org (assuming even that is correct).

Here is an odd quote from the rebuttal:

Lastly, military sniper rifles are already banned in California. AB-50 has nothing to do with military rifles, it is a ban focused on civilian target rifles.

Anyone care to explain this?

Is there someone here with the requisite technical or mathematical credentials who can explain to these bozos just how HARD it is to shoot down an airplane with a gun, even if its pilot promises to fly in a straight line while being shot at?

Just send them one of those Dillon Precision videos where they attempt to shoot down an RC airplane with full-auto weapons.

Not very easy.
