Time to buy a .50AE barrel and shoulder holster for my Deagle I guess. Kidding on that. It seems a bit of an oddball Bill given the size of a gun needed for larger caliber ammunition.

Guncrafter makes a .50GI 1911 in standard size as well as a conversion kit for large frame Glocks. Im sure someone has a snubnosed .460 revolver theyve been itching to tote around, hahaha.

Resolution 9 as it stands right now is superfluous other than the fact it solidifies state power to adversely regulate the keeping and bearing of arms, to wit:

Resolution 9 said:
This section shall not prevent the Legislature from
regulating the carrying of weapons enforcing or adopting narrowly
tailored time, place and manner regulations, or authorizing
political subdivisions to adopt and enforce such regulations, to
serve a compelling state interest.

"...(N)arrowly tailored time, place and manner ..." WAY too vague; lacking limits on the state government.

"...(A)uthorizing political subdivisions to adopt and enforce such regulations,..." In other words, subvert state preemption.

"...(T)o serve a compelling state interest." The only forms of government requiring a compelling state interest are dictatorships, tyrannies and other forms of government without limits.

I haven't read any of the other bills listed in this thread to be able to comment on their validity, necessity, or hidden bits of power usurpation from the people.

Well, I rescind what I said about resolution 9. Doesn’t sound good at all.
