"a .50 cal isn't inherently more capable of taking a plane down than a .308"
You make decent points, but that one just isn't true. It IS inherently more capable of disabling a plane, but that's not the main problem.
I would retort that there's no imaginable reasonable civilian use for a .50 cal sniper rifle (aside from shooting expenisive bullets at targets for the hell of it). It's not like there's no line. There IS a line. Machine guns aren't outlawed due to rate of fire. They're outlawed because they're a battlefield weapon that offers greater firepower than a civilian should need or have. I put the Barret on the military side of that line.
