actually it is like a cannon, the .50 cal. barret can easily puch a hole thru a 1 inch thick steel plate. and i believe that it should be banned too.

That\'s the gun they modified for Robocop isn\'t it?

If you could buy a 120mm cannon, or a torpedo, or an ICBM for a couple thousand dollars, would you want that too?  You don\'t need it, and it doesn\'t serve any purpose.  It reminds me of that scene in "Rollerball" where the party guests went outside to burn down trees with a flame pistol for the hell of it.  I think you should save your money and do somthing constructive with it instead of blowing the doors off cars.

Ehhhh...they give out drivers licenses pretty freely.  If just about anyone can have 3000 lbs at their disposal, I don\'t see why they can\'t own a .50 Barrett.  I firmly believe that people who acquire firearms legally, are NOT the ones we have to be afraid of.

Coredweller, you could also save your money on video games and do something constructive with it also .  Different people have different hobbies, as long as it doesn\'t hurt someone I see no problem with the recreational use of ANY TYPE of firearm.

Cars have a legitimate purpose for transporting people.  If they are misused they can be deadly, it\'s true.  Firearms like this one have no legitimate purpose in the civilian world.  Their only legitimate purpose is on a battlefield, so I don\'t see why they should be sold to civilians.

I try to, believe me.  But I also don\'t spend $5,000 plus for a video game, and $1.50 per round fired in that game.  

and you call yourself a gamer, pfft!
