whose regular bullets will pierce 3/8" thick steel plate, also be banned? This is not just a rhetorical question; it is the plan of gun confiscators.
Gun confiscators are attempting to simultaneously set another legal precedent by describing .50 caliber rifles as "sniper rifles". This is also simple; if .50 caliber rifles should be banned because they can be used for 1,200-yard sniping, then shouldn't .308 caliber rifles, used for 1,000-yard sniping, also be banned? Furthermore, the most common sniper rifles are .30 caliber, so if it makes "public safety" sense to ban the rare .50 caliber "sniper rifle", then it certainly makes sense to ban the more common .30 caliber sniper rifles, doesn't it? In fact, shouldn't all high-powered scoped rifles be banned, or at least registered?
This isn't just a rhetorical question, either. It is the plan of the gun confiscators, and they are pushing steadily toward it. If you don't think it can happen in your state, or on a national level as a "temporary homeland security measure", you're fooling yourself.
Stand Up With Us
Because we believe so strongly in the issues involved, both I and gun rights activist Barry Laws have faxed letters to California Assembly's Public Safety Committee stating that we will not obey a .50 caliber rifle ban if such an edict is issued, nor will we register our rifles.
We know that many .50 caliber rifle owners are upper middle class or even well-to-do people: doctors, lawyers, other professionals, businessmen, skilled tradesmen. Standing together, all of us, we can have a tremendous effect on the entire outrageous, immoral, traitorous, unconstitutional assault on gun owners. We urge you to fax the California PSC right now, and tell them you will not obey any such "law".
Keep in mind that even if you don't yet own such a firearm, or even if you don't live in the state of California, you can still fax the PSC and tell them what you think. The fax numbers are at the end of this article. At a minimum, send a fax to Carl Washington at 916-319 2152 . At a minimum, tell him if they approve this bill, you'll work harder than ever to defeat the Democrat Party (which spearheads the national gun confiscation movement) at every level in every state.
Remember, you can simply hand-write a note on typing paper and fax it. You can find time to send a fax today, can't you?
Why We Must Disobey
If we don't stand up and say NO right now, I believe we will see the continued escalation of spiritual and economic oppression and police state barbarism that overwhelmed Russia and the other countries of the Soviet Union, and which overwhelmed, a mere sixty-five years ago, what was arguably the most scientifically and culturally advanced nation in the world — Germany.
If you don't think it can happen here, you aren't paying attention: Ruby Ridge, Waco, "drug war", wiretaps, asset forfeiture, gun bans, Carnivore, random police stops, "Campaign Finance Reform" censorship, IRS, BATF, FBI, DEA, OSHA, EPA, etc. etc. etc.
Furthermore, if we don't stand up and say NO right now, it is likely that those who refuse to
