Open letter from Ronnie Barrett **Read**

[muledeer]

I bought a Barrett M-99 recently. No not for hunting but for 1,000 yd shooting. I haven't shot it yet (waiting for the weather to warm up). I own alot of rifles that I don't use for hunting like an M-1 Garand, M-1 Carbine, AR-15, M1A1, 1903 Springfield, 1927A1 Thompson, and SKS. Sure you can hunt with these rifles but I prefer my Weatherbys. I do not believe the right to own a rifle or pistol be based on whether you can or do hunt with it. In fact hunting has nothing to do with firearm ownership IMO. I had been leaning towards buying a 50 for about a year and decided to move foreward with that decision after seeing Ronnie Barrett on 60 minutes.
Doc, I just can't believe Kalifornia is coming down on firearms the way they are. I grew up in Southern K and guns were no big deal. Times change!!!!
Fabs, I agree 100%
