Very
Direct Letter to Congressman Who Seeks to Restrict .50 Caliber Rifles
by David
Wayne Case
Originally published on this

TO: Rep. Henry Waxman
FROM: David Wayne Case
SUBJECT: .50 Caliber Rifles
CC: Rep. Mark Sanford, Rep. Robert Barr, Sen. Strom Thurmond,
Sen. Ernest Hollings
NUMBER OF PAGES: I (Including cover page)
I have become aware of your furtive attempt to infringe upon my ownership of my
Barrett rifle. I am
a former Captain USMC, state marksmanship
champion, NRA member, member of the Fifty Caliber Shooter's Association and an
avid hunter of deer and hogs. To my knowledge, no .50 caliber rifle has ever
been used in the commission of a crime. My rifle cost $6,750. The telescope on
the rifle cost $4,500. The ammunition I most often shoot costs @ $4.00 per
round. While I tell you this, understand that what I'm trying to tell you is
that I would be an idiot to spend $11,000 on a rifle to risk losing it in the
legal aftermath of its illegal use. Get the hell out of my personal life and go
play kissy face with Diane Feinstein, Barney Frank, Charles Schumer and those
other leftists.
I am now an investment banker and make $400,000
per year. I also have a Harley Davidson motorcycle and several cars with V-8
engines. Are you next going to tell me I don't NEED a V-8 engine ... don't NEED
such a heavy, powerful motorcycle ... don't NEED a house with five bedrooms ...
don't NEED a wife with such large breasts...don't NEED a dog with such sharp
teeth and so on?
This kind of "Chicken Little" reactionary noise is entirely useless. I
am going to notify every legislator in my food chain that they need to take you
behind the Capital and beat the crap out of you.
CC: Sen. Trent Lott Sen. Orrin Hatch Sen. Susan Collins
