Walking into a California gun shop and seeing a Barrett 50 caliber rifle and hundreds of assault rifles on the wall for sale.. And we wonder why there is so much crime with these types of weapons in California?
Moderators can move this if you want..



Identicle to one of my assault rifles..

lol, and the police get a 9mm and some lucky ones also get a POS shotgun in the trunk... Now if I was a cop, and some dude came out of store with a .50, I would just leave, go back to the station, and ask for a bigger gun...

where is that at? i wanna go buy the .50 cal lol. Actually i was talking to sombody who ownes alot of guns and he was saying its legal to have certain guns as long as they dont have certain things. he has a mac 10 and was saying its illegal to have it with a silencer but if a cop finds the gun and silencer and they are not connected, its completley legal. im sure they are ways around the law to sell illegal guns as long as they are dissasembled or lack certain parts.

i like the fact that the owner of the store pinned up a bunch of leaves to show you how well camouflaged those guns are...

Street cops are far outgunned nowadays. Even though there are still a lot of criminals packing sh!tty .25 cals too.

Oddly enough, you can't walk into a store in Washington DC and buy a gun at all, but there's a lot more crime there than in California.

When guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns.

how much crime is actually committed with assault rifles in Cali? And what kind of moron uses a $2000 gun to hold up a liquor store and steal $1200? I can't imagine the kind of crime a 50 cal. rifle would be useful for, except maybe blowing out engines from a half a mile away. It's not like you are going to shoot one from the hip, and they are way too heavy to be carrying around.
