Not only did Americans own cannon, they privately owned ships with cannon too.

Not only did 18th Century citizens own cannons, but 21st Century citizens can, and do, own them today.

And in the nineteenth century you could privately own a Gatling gun and field artillery. No “stamps” or background checks required.

How does Biden explain the fraternity at the University Of Oklahoma that owned a cannon in the mid-sixties? It worked too. There’s a picture of the cannon in the 1965 OU yearbook.

Yes were they not “privateers”?

I have at least 2 neighbors who own cannons.

I hear them every New Years Eve.

American citizens were able to own every weapon that the current military had, something we don’t have today! So will the media fact check their canon claim? Of course not! If America elects Harris and Waltz we deserve to become the newest s-hole country. Just wait until China takes over, the useful idiots who voted for it will be the first to “disappear”.
