Geez guys, they're fun to shoot! Do you really need a BMW to go to work? :)

gw, re:Did you ever catch that segment on " 60 Minutes " on the 50 calibre rifles? Saw that - did you learn the gun costs $3500 for a shitter and the bullets are $3.00+ each. You can't even shoot the thing at most gun ranges as they don't allow them. They're not useful for any form of hunting - although some folks have tried it on elk. The weapon is impractical for anything but having bigger toys than your friends. It would make a lousy crime gun, you just can't get it under your coat. re:Talk about being in denial when somebody says they need to have access to a gun like that. The need argument - rights don't have a needs test.
