I believe it is state agencies. I don't know if the CA national guard is included.

'Pick up a Savage Model QQQ SWAT-style tactical rifle in 12.7 AWD (Action Weiner Dog)...'
'Whatcha shooting there?' 'Oh, it's my 1000yard precision rifle with a Lijta barrel, Leupold 20x76mm scope, full length glass bedded benchrest stock, chambering twelve-seven weiner dog.'
Hmmm....I'd consider one, if nothing else than for the entertainment value. (Sorta like 95% of the S&W .500's that will ever be sold.) But either way, it would sound at least as bad for for the Bradyites and Fellow-Travellers to get up in front of the cameras decrying the evils of the 1.2cm Parakeet Express, or 1/2" Action Weiner Dog, as the 12.7mm Tyrannicide.

I suggest the 12.7mm ILPR - Inaccurate, low-powered round. I meant, c'mon! I can jsut see Feinstein - "The gun manufactureres in America have produced a new threat today, ripe for the hands of terrorists - the 12.7mm Inaccurate, low-powered round!"
Or jsut the 12.7mm Tiny.

that's one of the funniest things i've ever seen - "safety blossoms"
i think this is an excellent trend i noticed that kel-tec redefined the "assualt rifle" a few years ago with the sport utility rifle. the gun grabbers want to distort the truth, shoot, we can play too. ambiguous or euphamistic names like the sprinfield armory m1a fun stick, don't call it .45 hardball, call it .45 nerfball, the benelli m3 puppy. what kinda sick, nazi politician would outlaw puppies? 'course it's not a new idea, sam colt gave us the peacemaker.
oh, yeah. 6.8 upper? roger that. ...now i wonder if barrett makes a suppressor for it yet?

lol, .499 BMG(BarrettMG), but make sure it will still fire in a .50bmg, and vice versa.
Really though, Barrett should specifically recall the serial numbers of the PD's guns, and their guns alone.
Edit: Oohh, even recall the Military's and try to blackmail congress. Sure they wouldn't return them, but...

I like Third Rail's idea:
I wonder if Ronny would use a name like that on a new rifle.

The various elected and appointed critters...
...would not be considering bans on .50's or anything else if they weren't also considering bans on liberty in general. Oh, wait,... liberty is already being banned little by little.
Well, I guess a .50 ban or a ban on all other weaponry is entirely proper then.

I think I have already seen the best name for the .499 Round
The new round by Barrett Arms, the .499 FUCA. I think I saw it here actually.

The .50 ban in Kali has already been bypassed by the 50 DTC. Hopefully other Mfg's will chamber some of their rifles for the new round. I've heard Barrett and Serbu *might* be working on it, maybe Armalite will follow also along with Bluegrass Armory.
Here's a link to EDM Arms 50 DTC, http://www.edmarms.com/news.htm uses all the same components but you'll need to fireform brass. If a company made the brass it would also help get it rolling.
As a side note, I know Tom Miller that sells EDM .50's at all the local gun shows. When the 50 DTC first came out he was approached by CA DOJ at a gun show. They were going to arrest him on the spot until he (former ATF) showed them that a .50 BMG cartridge couldn't be chambered. I would've liked to have been there to see the looks on their faces.

U guys are cracking me up ... "12.7 tyrannicide" ... LOL
I would love to see lots of other rifle/handgun makers do the same, but who will ? ? ?
Gaston Glock? Nah, wayyyy too many LEA sales.
Bill ("No Honest Man...") Ruger? Nah
Remington? How many LEA's use Rem 700's for long range rifle work, and 870's as cruiser-car long arms? A.H. (Ain't Happ'nin)
Springfield Armory? They are located in The Peoples Demokratic Republik of ILL. Need is say more?
Marlin? Not too many LEA's use Marlin, although some Sheriff's Departments use 336's in .35Rem or .30/30. Some, but not a lot impact on LEA's here.
Mossberg? A maybe here, a some LEA's issue Mossberg 500's/590's as their cruiser-car arms

God Bless Mr. Barrett.
For doing that to him, he is giving it right back to them.
On a Constitutional note, American citizens should have every right to be as armed and equiped as law enforcement or MORE. Never should a government run law enforcement agency ever be armed greater than that of the people. It is the first step towards police statism.
No .50's for people, no .50's for cops.
By the way, exactly what does "law-enforcement" need a .50 for? Especially when civilians can't have them?

Before I thank him, has this been confirmed. There is no mention of it on his website. Photoshop can deceive. I am unfamilar with the source of the graphic.

I just wrote them a nice letter
And I included Dmack's recall idea
If we call the round the 12.7 Tyrannicide, can we call the new rifle the "Barrett Coup d'etat"?
