because you can and you want it. see, you fail to realize that guns are NOT evil. there are people who, get ready for it, do NOT use guns to kill people, animals, or do any other kind of wrongful activities. This is a custom made long range (read 1000 yards to 1 mile) competition gun. now yes, that means he can shoot someone at 1 mile, but how many people have been shoot at one mile (wars excluded)? NONE.

same thing for machine guns, how many legally owned machine guns since 1934 have been used in a unlawful act??
only one, and that was by a police officer.

see, ignorance leads to fear, which leads to ignorant laws :x

think i did a good job of justifying it? are my facts strait? anything i should add?

JustinL , I think you did alright in your response. Since The Federal government says .50 BMG is the largest Caliber Civilians can own without getting into NFA destructive devices, whats wrong with owning something BIG? A .50 is No more deadly than my .300 win mag in reality, It will kill something it hits, the .50 just shoots a bit farther. I have a 43mm Black powder cannon to that has almost 500,000 ft.lbs of energy at the muzzle and shoots a 1 lb. ball the size of a golf Ball...Which is deadlier ? Until you can get a person behind a .50 to feel the blast , and punch a hole in a target, you are probably wasting your time trying to convince them of the benefits, but when an Invasion of America occurs, they will be first in line trying to get one for themselves, knowing they can reach out and "touch " someone and be out of the enemy's Range !
