Could it be they are not actually interested in preventing crime?

These rifles are used by recreational shooters for hunting and competition.

That is the most ridiculous gun law passed to date. Your part right on it never being used in a violent crime. I'm not sure where it happened but so far only one person in the united states has been killed by a 50 caliber weapon and i believe it was a 50AE Desert Eagle. The cost of the $3000+ rifles and the expensive ammo that isn't stocked in every gun store makes it very unpractical for any criminal. When california passed the law Barrett actually ended the warrenties on the LAPD M99's, and then came out with the CA legal .416 rifle. Then all the black powder shooters started to complain so CA made an exception for .50cal blackpowder rifles!(which are easier to get by criminals)

Problem is you are living on the left coast, Peoples Republic of California. Time to move to a free state where morals and religion are approved of and practiced.
California is only interested in passing crazy laws. The only way you will be safe from crime there is to live in a gated community.

the round is whats baned or the gun in either case it is an over -re-action to terrorist threat the gun and round pose with a distance of over 1000 yards it would be easy to target planes within five miles of takeoff and landing if you have flown lately you will notice the inclination after take off is much greater then it was before 9-11 increasing the fuel burned but getting the plane out of range faster of weapoms like this that could easly damage or take down a plane in several shots .A four man team could target the fuel cells in the wings and fire a tracer round igniting the fuel at take off greating wide spread damge and millions in losses and hundreds of lives.

California is filled with liberals. Liberals have no interest in preventing crime, nor in enforcing the Constitution. Look at Detroit. Look at New Orleans. Look at Chicago.

What is the purpose for having that gun??
I am sure they are trying to be proactive in response to crime. If there was a reason to own the gun recreationally (hunting, for example), they might feel a little differently.
If you don't like it, move.

For the same reason you can't own a sidewinder missle, even though it's never been used in a violent crime in CA.
