But the fact remains that they've been around for years and not once has a .50 cal rifle been used in a crime, not saying that they will never be used in a crime, just that so far, they haven't been.
.50 cal. rifles and ammo are extremely expensive and few if any criminals would use them to commit a crime, also, very hard to conceal one on one's body and also maneuver it around.
