California\'s 50 cal ban to be heard on April 29
I think there may be a lot of crossover between flashaholics and knifeowners and gunowners. Therefore, I'd like to post this current newsflash of the latest current challenge to the second amendment in California which will set the new standard the other states will use to take away their residents freedoms as well. California's problems are your problems to. Look at Kalifornia as a diseased carcass spreading disease to the rest of the Union. OR if you like gun control and police states and such, then California is your beacon of light spreading enlightment to the rest of the US. Whatever your view, California is contagious and will affect your home one way or the other.
California's 50 ban to be heard in Committee April 29th!
The California Assembly Committee on Public Safety will hold a hearing

rejected AB 2222. FCSPI will be attending the hearing to argue
against AB 50.

Talking Points on the 50 Caliber Target Rifle and California's AB 50
gun ban
1 Those that seek to ban 50 caliber target rifles wrongly
suggest that it has no sporting purpose and is a military rifle.
o To the contrary, since 1985, there has been organized 50
caliber target shooting competitions, conducted by the non-profit
Fifty Caliber Shooters Association (FCSA).
o The military version of the Barrett 50 caliber rifle is
already regulated by California's Assault Weapon law – AB 50 does not
target the military rifle, but only the sporting rifle used by
competitive shooters.
2 Those that seek to ban 50 caliber target rifles wrongly
suggest that the gun is suited for criminal or terrorist uses.
o The size, cost and skill level of the 50 caliber rifle make
it unsuited for criminal or terrorist use. This claim is backed up by
history – since no American in California or any other state has ever
been killed by a 50 caliber target rifle.
3. Fifty caliber target rifles have been manufactured, sold,
collected and competed with in California for nearly two decades.
This firearm has a proven history of safe and responsible ownership
and use in California, there is no evidence to suggest it is part of a
credible threat to public safety, and this claim is solidly supported
by history.
4. The Committee on Public Safety should focus its attention
and California's tax dollars on real and credible public safety issues
– banning fifty caliber rifles, Bigfoot, the Easter Bunny or anything
else that has never injured or killed any Californian is an
irresponsible waste of the Committee's valuable time.
