I really can�t see any reason to ban the 50 cal other than it isn�t �practical� to some. There are plenty impractical things on store shelves today, but they are not made illegal.
If they want to take our guns away, they will do it slowly with legislation that makes it impractical to own any firearm. Like Shadow said, today it�s the 50 cal, tomorrow a .308, until even owing or purchasing a new .22 will be to cost prohibitive for most people to justify.

By your second argument, one could suppose that by legalizing assault weapons, today its the 50 cal, tommorow a fully auto ak-47, until soon I've got a Mark-19 Grenade launcher mounted onto my pickup. I mean hey, who knows, I might need it right?

I love how they want to ban a gun that has never killed anyone in a crime. People dont rob banks or do drive-bys with a .50 BMG.
