Copper, a .50 cal sniper-type rifle could well be intended for hunting big game out west - where a mountain goat or other hunting prey might well be across a gorge and yes, a mile away.

I suspect a lot of people who buy that type of rifle do so "just because", and use it at the range or for hunting as above.  Does one NEED such an instrument for personal defense, no.  But then the second amendment was not meant for self defense or hunting.  It was meant to ensure an armed populace would provide a real deterrent to tyrants in government.who might try to impose their will on an unwilling populace. 

I personally have no desire to own a .50 caliber rifle, but if I did and bought one it would be solely to save my ssa and yours too if you needed my help, just like the weapons I do own (which, BTW, would most likely be banned if the current regime has its way.) 

The other day Matt Lauer tried his best - obnoxiously so - to get Chris Christie to cowtow to the gun control agenda.  To his credit Chris kept pointing out the societal things that lead to the misuse of guns...violent video games and movies, mental health issues, and the like.  Lauer was obviously frustrated (much to my delight) that he couldn't get the answer he wanted.  That's not journalism, that's using a position to advance an agenda.

Send me an email and I'll be happy to open an off-line conversation on this topic.
