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 5593: “50 caliber gun ban of 2005" Bans the 50BMG,
which is used mostly at ranges and fires one bullet at a time. It
has never been used for a crime in WA State. SB 5593 in Washington
State was assigned to the Judiciary Committee. In the original hearing
in January, the bill was voted down on a narrow margin of 5 to 4.
As it stands, this bill is unlikely to be passed this session. We
will continue to monitor the bill.
