Update on 50BMG Arrest - Page 2

ctdonath · June 21, 2000, 03:23 PM

There was ONE crime with a .50BMG. Someone (cop?) was murdered at fairly close range with one - close enough that ANY hunting rifle would have had the same results.

So yes, there has been ONE crime committed with one - and the fact that it was a .50BMG didn't matter.

I agree with you ctdonath, but even if EVERY crime was committed with a .50BMG it wouldn't be reason enough to ban them.

Jim was asking for historical facts, not justification for a ban.

To further stir the pot of rumor stew...

"If Stewart was truly entrapped (re: the AR15) as noted above, I'd be curious about the facts of his trial"

...the hubbub is that he could not afford a good attorney so he took a plea bargain. Two years instead of, what is it, ten?

We gotz a lot of verifyin' to do, right boys?
