“....rights of the individual to be equally armed as military, both foreign and domestic....”

.
Then why can I not have fully automatic firearms and an Abrams tank parked in my garage would make me feel more secure.

Rommel managed to cut through the French Army with “tanks” than were smaller than a dump truck. Lot easier to maintain than an Abrams. Just weld some metal to protect the driver, the engine and the tires and mount some guns and you have a formidable weapon.

On the former, you can, but you deal with the BATF.

For the first century and a half of our Republic, you could have such weapons.

I seem to recall in the late fifties or early sixties that the media somehow stumbled upon the fact that private individuals could own virtually anything available to the military.

The media discovered that a private individual had indeed bought many tons of larger weapons and was storing them on his large desert property. The liberals just about had a stroke thinking about all this firepower and have spent the last half century supporting infringement of the Second Amendment.

Because the FedMob has been infringing on our rights since 1934.

If you had the $ you could... there is no law that is absolute, if you have the $ you can break “any” Law.
