Press continues to repeat anti-gun lies
Known on the street as the cop killer, the Five-seveN is easily concealable and is designed to shoot ammunition that can pierce 48 layers of Kevlar, the material in bulletproof vests.
The .50-caliber rifle can accurately shoot a target up to 2,000 yards away and can potentially shoot down commercial airplanes during takeoff, supporters of the bill said. The rifle is not covered by the state assault weapons ban.
No mention that the likelihood of hitting a moving aircraft is about zero. And no mention that the armor piercing ammunition is not available for sale to the public.

“Known on the street?” Go ask the average gang-banger what the Five-Seven is and he won’t have a clue. Maybe there’s a few top notch, morally questionalbe hired guns who do, but your average Crip or Blood thinks the TEC-9 is high tech.
