An old vanity I posted, but it's time to bring it back to life.

Well at least my cannon is OK, but I am kind of ticked I might have to get rid of my antitank missiles.

A strawman is a logical fallacy in which a debater exaggerates an opponent's position, directs arguments at this exaggerated position, and claims to have defeated the opponent's real argument.

Strawmen are what the left does best.

You’re pissed? *I* have to get rid of my nuclear hand-grenades!

Nuclear weapons are not allowed to be used for self defense by private citizens because they are not sufficiently discriminating.

Oops, guess I'd better get rid of mine...IF I had any, of course...

• Shotgun
• Cannon shooting ball shot

Why is the cannon proscribed from using "canister" rounds, while the shotgun isn't?

[MARTIAL MONK]

I have one. Got it on E-Bay. Wanna borrow it for a party?

[JRios1968]

Can we still use the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch?

As long as your nuke doesn’t have a pistol grip, it should be fine.

At the time of the revolution, people owned privateering ships with large cannon.

How would those (cannons and armed man-’o-war) figure into your above categories?

Also, I have friends and relations who still own working cannons (we fire them at 4th of July, birthdays, etc.). Apparently these should fall under the 2nd Amendment as well, because they certainly own them and have charges for them.

Sorry, I don’t buy it. There is nothing in the Constitution to prevent me from owning a nuke. At the time, probably the most destructive weapon was a cannon and private people DID own cannons. When they put these cannons on their private ships, they were called privateers.

[FortWorthPatriot]

Or a flash suppressor.

[Nomorjer Kinov]

What about photon torpedoes?

Please read this article over, and try again.

I have always thought that we should furnish all the nuke grenades that Iran would like — also as many to the Hamas as well -— hehehehe :-)

I hope that it isn’t evil looking??

[Lazamataz]

Sorry, I don’t buy it.

If you don't agree with me, I'm detonating this nuke.

I've gotten too old for those. With my shoulder I just can't throw them far enough anymore and am not as fast as I used to be either.
