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.
