You go right on thinking you have a clue about (anything) my views, based on a specific comment about a specific article. It's fun watching you squirm when you've been shown to be a fool on a public forum. Squirm, trollboy! :)

Yeah, I saw your post further down after I posted. It is concerning that anti-gunners arguing on the basis of lethality of a "battlefield weapon" with no use out side of the military would want the NYCPD to have need for one. Are they shooting down aircraft and disabling tanks, I think not.

Cooool...*big grin*

Thanks for the info...

I know there are cannon in private hands...and they still compete with them...

Was pretty sure about the aircraft restictions...

Didnt know about arming surplus vehicles(although I should have guessed such) ...I suppose that requires an FFL?

"endthematrix, this individual won't answer my question about what his views are about the Second Amendment. Perhaps he will answer you?"

Actually I did pose this question in post #50, I have not received a reply.

Dr.Hilarious, we are waiting...

Depends on the state. In TX, if you legally possess a class III weapon (like the M2), you can mount it on your vehicle however you wish, so long as it does not threaten others (no guns on the trunk to discourage tailgaters, for example.

"Conventional" ICBMs are also known as ROCKETS and are available on the open market to anyone. So are cruise missiles, also known as UAVs. If you have money, they're both legal and available.



You didn't answer my question. I didn't ask about the legality (though I suspect there laws that could be applied in the case of an private citizen setting up an SAM battery or ICBM in their backyard), I asked if you thought it was OK for private citizen to own ICBMs, have SAM batteries in their backyard, and cruise missles; legality, commonsense and morality don't always coincide. You apparently have a problem with nukes - what about non-nuclear EMP devices? Could be handy - if you want to get out of a parking ticket just fry all the electronics in the Southeast U.S. thus erasing your parking citation(s). Got heavy penalties due to late/underpaid taxes...no problem. Credit card debt? Gone.

Cannon of any size are permitted. The catch is that they must be muzzleloaders.

And, as Correspondent Ed Bradley first reported last January, it's powerful enough to kill a man or pierce armor from more than a mile away.

Correspondent Ed Bradley is going to pee himself once it's explained to him that one reason the Second Amendment exists is so that the American People can kill the goverment if it becomes too tyrannical.

Yo, Ed! Here's a hint, you moron: Big Stupid Government is not headed in the correct direction down the road.

I have an amazing nose for trolls, and I just have a hunch about this one. From my take on his postings so far, he's either a troll or a very liberal Republican. I could be wrong, but if not, they always out themselves.

"BTW...I allready know it is perfectly legal for private citizens to own fighter aircraft of any age...while it is not legal to arm them....look it up." Do you think private citizens should be allowed to arm their aircraft with air-to-air missles? Maybe some JDAMS? Cluster bombs could be fun!

It is legal for a citizen to own a non-nuclear ICBM, cruise missile, or unguided SAM battery in the United States, so what's the point of asking if it's "right"? It's legal NOW, and since all of these things have peaceful uses as well as combat applications, it is ethically, morally, and legally OK to own them.

Non-nuclear omnidirectional EMP devices that actually work have not yet been created. That said, even those marginally effective directional ones are legal if you possess an FCC license.

Pretty sure they didn't mean that the specific .50 caliber was invented 22 years ago, but rather that the gun in question was.

Since you're always very nice and wickedly humorous, I went ahead and tracked you. Seems like the beef between you to is being carried from thread to thread.

My money is on you for longevity...lol.

LOL.

He'd go a long way towards being viewed as a conservative by simply stating his opinion about the Second Amendment.
