Serbu Firearms makes guns, including .50 BMG rifles. Someone from the News York Police Department contacted them:

Serbu replied:

XXXX,
Yes, I got the message and tried to return the call but got no answer. I appreciate your interest in our BFG-50A; I’m sure it would be an excellent addition to your department’s arsenal. Unfortunately, we have a policy of selling to state law enforcement agencies only what is allowed to be sold to private citizens in that state. Since the passage of the NY SAFE act, the BFG-50A is considered an assault weapon and as such is no longer available to private citizens in the state of New York. Therefore we have to respectfully decline to supply your department with BFG-50A rifles.

Regards,
Mark Serbu”

Good for them. Ronnie Barrett started this and a lot of others have jumped on the bandwagon.

What in the hell does a cop shop need with a fifty caliber. Hell most of them in new york cannot hit an elephant in the azz at ten feet.

I believe these firearms manufacturers are telling the militant police forces in the country that they will support the citizens over the State.
