Why not a working cannon in his tank? Private ownership of cannon was not banned under the Constitution;although most people had better uses for the money.

I dunno why. I've watched a few shows that have guys who buy up excess miltiary equipment. One guy in England had a mobile missle launcher, sans missle of course.

They always say that the guns were made inoperative prior to the sale to comply with the law. Dunno why. The difference may be the black powder.

By law it is illegal. The Constitution makes no such distinction so the law is an illegal infringement.
