So go ahead. Feed them anti .50BMG hype and hysteria.
There you go, provng that you'll immediately jump to the conclusion that being honest about the ballistic capabilities of the BMG round will be grounds to ban it.
Also
I see. So a .50 ban is acceptable
Never said anything of the kind.
Remember the vast majority of voters neither have nor are particularly interested in owning .50BMG rifle. Its those votes which would decide the issue. If they believe all .50BMG rifle owners are afraid to even admit to known facts about the effectiveness of the round, you won't get their support when you need it.
are willing to concede and portray the .50 is some kind of supergun, and therefore more a more tolerable ban. My (and I believe others) position is that your grandpa's deer rifle is just as deadly
Thats a ludicrous statement.
A .50 BMG has no magical powers but it dang sure makes huge holes in things at several times the range of any hunting rifle or Battle rifle for that matter.
Never mind the skill required to actually hit a target at those distances, or an aircraft in flight with a 30lb rifle.
Since many US Choppers were hit with weapons less sophisticated than the Barrett and weighing as much or more, and the Barrett M82A2 Bullpup was designed specifically for engaging attack choppers pretending that it can't be done doesn't help your position.
As I've pointed out the same Soft mount used by our Military for steady firing of the Barrett and keeping the sights on target round after round, is available from online stores. Building a monting the equal if not better would be no biggies, considering that converting available US surplus 1919A4 mounts to take numerous foreign MGs is commonplace.
Also M2HB are not only available to criminals, but even the Semi Auto version of the M2HB can still be bought in California of all places because it doesn't fit the narrow wording of their .50 BMG Rifle Ban.
So get real.
If you are that scared of the truth about BMG ballistic capabilities you are as good as claiming that the mere knowledge of the effectiveness of the round is reason enough to Ban it.
Your best option is to accept the facts and find a way to put those to your advantage. Otherwise you can kiss the BMG goodbye as far as civilian ownership goes.
BTW
I don't much care for those who openly misrepresent my posts and their content, and theres been a lot of that on this thread.
