It's all fun and games until someone is run over.

When will our legislatures finally take action and take these senseless weapons away from common citizens. They belong with trained professionals who have demonstrated a greater inclination to harm people.

Authorities say a man was accidentally crushed to death with a World War II-era tank on a Jelly Bean's chairman Herman Rowland's property in Fairfield.

Reagan's fault.

Note the use of language here:

Armored tank
Military tank

These are scary, oogly-boogly words that only an ill-informed liberal wimp could come up with. Next thing you know, those big, scary tanks will also have come equipped with 30 caliber magazine ghost clips that can fire hundreds of bullets in less than ten seconds. From the hip.

There was a boating accident in my parts where a passenger was riding on a moving boat with his legs over the side. Boat hit a bump and he fell into the water and had his arm sliced off by the outboard motor propeller.

Sometimes people do things like this without even thinking about the consequences.

"Wright was a passenger and was sitting on the front edge of the tank."

Been there. Done that. At Ft. Knox on an M-48, instructing an AIT trainee-driver (the commlink was broken) as the tank slowly teetered on its tracks at the top of a small hill, then tottered over and we rode down. The main gun was in the locked position to the rear.
