.50 Caliber Terror
Never let it be said we gun guys don't believe in making sure both sides of the issue don't get a fair shake. With that in mind, this edition of the Dodge City Site of the Month comes to you courtesy of Harmon Berger, a renowned gun enthusiast, President of the Greater Toledo Area's Firearms Club, of which his lovely wife Stella chairs the Women's Auxiliary. He'll be addressing burgeoning gun control web site ".50 Caliber Terror." Enjoy!
Well, glory be. A wise man once said "if it ain't one thing it's another," and I for one couldn't agree more.
This is, hands down, no contest, beyond a shadow of a friggin' doubt the dumbest thing I've ever seen in my life! These liberal wackjobs keep trying to take away our guns, and now they're aiming for .50 caliber sniper rifles. And what's their argument? Stupid, that's what.
Right off the bat these morons say the .50 cal was "designed for the battlefield to puncture armor and destroy targets from long range." And your point is? So know they want to ban any military weapons designed to puncture armor and destroy targets from long range? See! Today it's my fifty cal, but tomorrow it could be your rocket launcher or cache of hand grenades. This is a slippery slope people. A slippery slope.
THEN they go on to the granddaddy of all half-wit liberal ideas. NOW they want to ban the .50 Cal because "they can shoot down planes landing or taking off." So now these ban-happy gun-grabbin' jagoffs want to ban anything that could cause a plane to crash?
Well, if I poured thousands of gallons of concrete on an airplane as it was taking off, I bet it'd crash the hell out of that bad boy. Are they going to ban concrete?
Heck, if I got my homemade potato gun (kudos "Big" Steve for the hand with that) and loaded that sum'na'bitch up with a big whole honkin' mess of carrots and shot it into the engines on one of the wings I bet I could bring that baby down faster than a dove vaporizes after I pop a .50 cal round into it.
And what if some crazy muslim wacko were to pour lamb's blood or whatever all over the sensors of the plane? That'd crash it just as easy as pie. So now the liberals want to ban blood?
What really makes my skin crawl is this B.S. about banning just 'cause Osama "Yo Mamma!" Bin Laden bought some. I have reliable sources that tell me that boy buys about 50 Hostess Apple Pies a Month (I guess he eats so much sugar 'cuz they can't drink). Are they gonna ban Apple Pie next?
And if Apple Pie goes, what next? Baseball? Mothers?
Fact is the .50 caliber rifle has TONS of practical uses. Like um...uh...well what if a terrorist tried to fly a plane into your house? You gonna take that sitting down?
