This thread (and the many others like it) are a gun banners dream.
"Look, even "gun enthusiasts" don't see a need for firearms of this type (style, size, color, caliber, look, power level, shape, ect., ect.)"
I've said way too many times, If it burns powder and sends a projectile downrange, I don't care how (big, little, ugly, pretty, wood, plastic, powerfull, light, old, new, ect.) it is, in the hands of law abiding citizens it's a good thing.
I hope they sell 10 million plus .50's. It's good for all of us.
Those that support the private ownership of only those firearms that "they" approve of or "they" find neccessary, or "they" feel the need for are not supporters of the 2nd Amendment. They are instead self serving allies of the anti gun forces. Willing or not, that's what they are.
I don't care what caliber you shoot, I don't care what platform you launch your projectiles from, be it a 18th century charcoal burner (or replica) or a black rifle or a 1930's Winchester Model 70 or a S&W .50. I don't care if it's a Taurus or a Les Baer, or whatever your Dad or Grandpa left you (in fact I'd prefer it's what Dad/Mom/Grandpa left you), or anything in between it's flat out stupid to tell someone that their firearm of interest is invalid because YOU don't personally see the need (want).
If you are a thinking firearm owner, you need to just stop it. Rejoice brother (and I mean REJOICE) whenever someone buys a shooter be it new, used or milsurp, and burns powder and sends lead downrange as a free citizen.
