Modify? Get the Rafael mini-Typhoon

(The full version is more fun, but how many of us have anti-tank missiles?)

As for legality, civilian ownership of naval artillery was an expectation, when the Constitution was written. It is an implied right (unlike most of the crap the Supreme Court makes up). You can't have letter of Marque without armed merchantmen.

Heh, I don’t even know what a letter of Marque is!

Armed merchantmen is the best idea since canned soup.

I was extremely disappointed that the phrase "Letter of Marque" was not even mentioned in the latest Supreme Court ruling on the 2nd Amendment.
