                 representatives oil the House Committee on Government Reform on July 15, 1999. At

                 caliber semiautomatic rifles have been used in domestic and international criminal
                 activity. Based on Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms tracing information and
                 information OSI developed, we found that .50 caliber semiautomatic rifles are linked
                 to potential assassins, terrorist groups, drug dealers, international drug cartels,
                 militia groups, and a religious cult.
