Our fight began in 1999 when
Senator Diane Feinstein made her first attempt to ban .50 caliber rifles.
A fledgeling FCSPI rose to the challenge and won. To date at the federal
level, we have successfully defeated proposed bans in the the 106th, 107th
and 108th Congress. Now the battle has spread nationwide. The anti-gun
lobbyists are forum shopping an looking for the best locations that their
agenda can be spread. FCI will fight for your rights as long as we can,
but we need your support to continue. If you would like to donate
to FCI so that we can keep up the fight, then click

Senate
Bill SF 207
Senate Bill SF 207 in the state of Iowa is effectively dead for
the 2005 legislative session. This bill was promoted as an Assault
Weapons Ban bill, but was particularly germane to the fifty caliber
community because one of the provisions of the bill included any
firearm with a "Threaded Barrel". All 50 BMG rifles are
threaded on the forend for the attachment of the needed muzzle brake.
FCI has been following the bill and will continue to monitor it,
but at this time the bill is not a threat.
