So where exactly does one purchase a cannon. (Asking for a friend)

Tell your friend he can buy one here if he has $75,000 .LOL!

So I guess the days of freeloading foreigners using the 14th Amendment to illegally sneak into the U.S., pump out a kid and automatically become U.S. citizens entitled to living off the backs of the U.S. Taxpayers are over.

A cannon is not an "arm" or "armament" - it is artillery. That distinction was clear at the founding. Besides, carrying around a cannon is impractical and expensive anyway without teams of men and hardware to transport and thus legislating them out of the hands of the individual was unnecessary. The founders understood that an "arm" was a rifle, pistol, sword, or other personal weapon used by an individual militiaman or soldier. Biden is a dangerous idiot.

Statements like that are a "dangerous idiot". Arms have never been defined as solely individually operated personal weapons. Did the Strategic ARMS Reduction Treaty dictate that Russia and these US could only own up to a million M16s/AK47s? Did the Founders not worry about "artillery" because no merchant owned cannon on his ships?

Artillery (and nukes) are armament, by definition. Your slippery slope can easily limit weapons - where is the clear, distinct line between "arms" and "not-arms"? What is a 240B? Those usually operate with a crew - Gunner, AG, and often an additional ammo bearer. Yet a single person can easily operate the weapon system. You say artillery is a no-no, but what about a 230/320 (grenade launcher)? Javelin? M72 or AT4? 60mm Mortars? All of those systems are designed for, or function fine with, a single operator. Do any/some/all of them count as "arms"?

Every person who purchased a weapon which entailed a NICS background check is indelibly documented in FBI files. They never deleted one bit of that data. They won’t admit they have it, so they cannot use it in a court of law, but then they are very adept at getting around courts and laws, aren’t they? Stored in a salt mine in Pennsylvania, waiting for just the right moment.

In the first battle of the Revolutionary War, British Regulars tried to seize the colonial’s arms including several cannons. They were stopped at Lexington and Concord.
