The public discourse suddenly swirls angrily around this issue: How big a gun should people be allowed to own, with how many bullets? Despite all the furor, the question has a very simple answer. But it's the wrong question.
Even those who routinely carry a concealed weapon, and certainly many who don't, wrestle with the question, "How much firepower does anyone need?" Perhaps those who don't own weapons think the answer should be very close to zero. Those who know that many times each year violent attacks are stopped when someone simply shows a weapon understand that self-defense tools are legitimate and necessary, but still worry about where the line should be above that level.
Legislators are hurriedly drafting a variety of bills to answer the question, phrasing them in terms of how evil a weapon looks, whether it automatically chambers the next shell for you, and how many cartridges it can feed. For those more knowledgeable about guns, the real concern is with things far beyond the personal defense category: rocket-propelled grenades, for example, the sort of things jihadists bring to a party at the U.S. embassy.
Here are some simple, foundational ideas to help sort it out.
The first principle is that the federal government has no constitutional say whatsoever in the size or quantity of weapons maintained by the people -- because that very government is the most dangerous person in the room. The Second Amendment has one purpose: to ensure that "we the people" can withstand a tyrannical government, for perhaps the first time in history. The writings of James Madison (Federalist #46), among others, make that abundantly clear...

Even has an optional suppressor for your 20mm. Price is a bit less than what you can find a Solothurn or a Lahti for.
I have a pic of the original gun. Its at the Army base where Geronimo is buried.
Thanks!
At one point I had the “Lucy” as a ready example.
She was a privateer that was very well armed. Occasionally she also carried letters of marque.
The Lucy sailed with a fine armament - in private hands.
Well, I was thinking "an 88", but why not?

That is the gun the A10 Warthog was built around.
The Second Amendment was written to allow possession of flintlock muskets.
At the time flintlock muskets were the highest military gun technology available.
The Founding Fathers clearly intended that the average citizen have the highest military gun technology available.
No reason to change that...
see tagline...
Perhaps, if I remove the back seat, I can mount that baby in my Suburban...
Patents expire after 20 years.
There are no nuclear weapons patents. A patent requires disclosing the technology.
OTOH, there is no patent on the Coca-Cola recipe either...
Point of order: The leftist WILL be rounded up at that point. It will NOT be accidental.
The new dictatorship has no use for people with a proven track-record of disloyalty to their old government and the skills and will to overthrow it.
I hear you bro.
A few cruise missiles launched offshore of Saudi Arabia would seem doable by private enterprise.
The bad things about carrying a flamethrower are: (1) heavy, (2) bulky, (3) makes you a target, (4) you get fried if the fuel in the tanks gets ignited anywhere but the muzzle of the flame gun, (5) the flame mixture tends to make the operator violently ill, and (6) the heat from the fire (2,200 degrees F) is incredible for the operator. Other than these few drawbacks, flamethrowers are cool. [However, they are unsuited for concealed carry.]
The Choom Gang must not be allowed to dictate to the Boom Gang...
A 20MM Lahti.My brother used to own one of those.Used old car engines as target,one hit would shatter the block.
