I doubt seriously if the 2nd Amendment was meant for the people to keep those terrible implements of war at home.

That's why it was common for towns to have a central armory: not so the gov't would control those arms, but so people would have a safe place to store dangerous stuff.

A howitzer in my driveway isn't a threat to anyone; it's not going to "go off" accidentally. Neither is Bill Gates's aircraft carrier.

Exactly! I'm not concerned about Larry having the 4.2" mortar, unless he uses it to "prep" the area he's going to hunt deer in! Shredded venison? Anyway, I have many friends whose ClassIII items are tons o' fun. I know they're not up to something nefarious. Talking belt fed AND the occasional suppressor that goes on the target 22 for squirrels and such without disturbing the neighbors or, for that matter, the wife cooking dinner.
