#1 Absolutely anything. However, the government is not obligated to sell you a B-52 or a tank that was developed using tax dollars.

Keep in mind that under your rule, a grad student with access to a university lab could make his own chemical or biological WMD, as well as C4. Then again, there's nothing really stopping them now, except legalities.

#1.
tannerite isn’t illegal so maybe don’t need c4.
some places - flamethrowers\miniguns\grenade launchers\machine guns are legal.

Then again, there's nothing really stopping them now, except legalities.

And if they have evil intent, legalities won't stop them either. That's the point.

We could wish that the genie of WMD could be put back in the bottle, but I think the real issue is whether the Government has the right to restrict us (rather than the other way around) and I think they do not.

Is there a compromise? I think the compromise is inherent in the basic contract under which we formed this nation, the US Constitution. I think there should be no restrictions, but there should be no subsidy. That will take care of most of it.

But not all of it. I am sure if there were no restrictions, George Soros would fund someone to create WMDs - and use them. So lack of money alone will not stop them (again, regardless of legalities). So the hard question is: Are you (or me, or anyone who 'votes' on this list that there should not be restrictions) willing to face the threat of WMDs in private hands motivated by 'evil' in the form of socialism as a "price" to ensure that the government cannot tyrannically force socialism on us?

I am.

If you don’t like the wording, change it. Legally.
