Sorry Jerry, but the image is not dated and the ad has a pic of the M468, which was not in existance in 2002.

Well… this makes me seriously consider changing from getting that gas piston upper to the M468 upper instead… I might do that…

The “sole piece of evidence” cited by Publicola is dated December 11, 2002.

It may be news, but it isn’t NEW news.

Barret: An Fine Example To All Gun Makers
Via Say Uncle I read that Barret is refusing to sell firearms to any Califonria government agency. The sole piece of evidence I’ve seen to substantiate this claim is the photo int he last link. It’s possibe that it could…

I’m pretty sure that Barrett doesn’t do enough business for this to be much more than a symbolic gesture.

Now, get Glock do the same thing, and watch the PRK squirm.

The only LEO use I can think of for a .50BMG rifle is anti-vehicle. Of course, we see high-speed chases all the time on TV from LA, and you never see them shooting the engine block, so that can’t be it.

What is really sad is that if they did start doing that, there is a good chance that Bush would step up and ~~enslave~~ force them to start shipping to them again "for the public good".

LEO agencys have ZERO business with full auto, 50 cal, or even .308 sniper rifles.
ZERO. When they get these weapons, they immediately start looking for applications and you end up with SWAT teams serving traffic ticket warrants or other nonsense.
I can’t think of ONE use that an LEO agency has for a 50 caliber Barrett Rifle.
This ESPECIALLY applies to police agencys.

Very nice. Even though I don’t have the money or need this makes me want to purchase a rifle from Barrett. Finally we have a gun manufacturer that will stand up and fight for our rights.

If only the handgun manufacturers would do this to some of the big cities that prohibit guns like NYC or DC…
