Well my weapon question weird. Why can’t I buy a strategic bomber, or an attack helocopter, if I have the money? Or a howitzer artillery cannon? Obviously it is absurb for an average citizen to buy such military equipment. Where does my right to bear arms stop. Does it stop simply with affordability and with what technology the government owes (nuclear, emp)? Or does it stop with actual laws?
“The tank, the B-52, the fighter-bomber, the state-controlled police and military are the weapons of dictatorship. The rifle is the weapon of democracy. If guns are outlawed, only the government will have guns. Only the police, the secret police, the military. The hired servants of our rulers. Only the government - and a few outlaws. I intend to be among the outlaws.” (Edward Abbey, “The Right to Arms,” Abbey’s Road [New York, 1979])
