Why would I shoot one of their tanks, I paid for it the first time. (http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/z?c107:S.505:)
The Congress finds that--
(1) certain firearms originally designed and built for use as long-range 50 caliber military sniper weapons are increasingly sold in the domestic civilian market;
(2) the intended use of these long-range firearms, and an increasing number of models derived directly from them, is the taking of human life and the destruction of materiel, including armored vehicles and such components of the national critical infrastructure as radars and microwave transmission devices;
(3) these firearms are neither designed nor used in any significant number for legitimate sporting or hunting purposes and are clearly distinguishable from rifles intended for sporting and hunting use;
(4) extraordinarily destructive ammunition for these weapons, including armor-piercing and armor-piercing incendiary ammunition, is freely sold in interstate commerce; and
(5) the virtually unrestricted availability of these firearms and ammunition, given the uses intended in their design and manufacture, present a serious and substantial threat to the national security.
In other words....
...better buy one of these baby's before the make them illegal, through TAXATION!!!!
That's free enterprise folks.

Don't shake the devil's hand and say you're only kidding.
