Open letter from Ronnie Barrett **Read**

I will admit that a .50 has no practical purpose in the realm of hunting, but who isn't to say that it doesn't serve a practical purpose for target shooters and for the militia that the second amendment says we should have.

If you really want to look at it as no gun serves a practical purpose unless it can be used for hunting, I am sure there are a lot of guns out there that would be off the list.

Then, lets look at hunting and fishing. What practical purpose do they serve other than as a hobby. There are very few people in the world today that actually hunt to live. Same goes for fishing, unless you happen to be a commercial fisherman.

What practical purpose does my trap gun serve because it can only be used to break clay and it really isn't too good in the field for anything. I don't want to see it banned any time soon.

As far as the U.S. Citizen that bought 100's of .50's and sent them over to his mother land, I would love to know how the system allowed that. What happened to the Nicks check and how could he buy that many guns without a dealers license. What exactly is the entire story on that one. My brother mentioned something about this 100 gun transaction, and when I asked him for the details he couldn't provide them to me. Is this more rumor than fact. I don't have the time to go digging today, but would appreciate any links to the "facts."
