In early America, citizens owned cannons.
I think I “should be” allowed to have a bazooka, law, stinger, etc.
I don’t want one, and probably can’t afford it. But, a well-armed militia would need one in this era.
As I recall, that is why the US shipped them to the citizens of Afghanistan during the Russian occupation. The US thought they needed them.
As I recall, we also gave them (manpads of some sort) to the citizens of Libya through back channels, and Libya had not been foreign invaded. They were “citizens” fighting their own government, and Feinstein thought is was just dandy equipping them with manpads even though they fit the description of citizens in her book: “why would they need such weapons?”
If I could afford it, I'd have one of these in my backyard...and I am experienced in their deployment, having commanded two platoons of Chaparral systems.
Drones beware!!!
Yup. It’s not the weapon that makes a man a criminal. A criminal will possess all the weapons he chooses, legal or not. Obviously, gun control laws are no hindrance to criminals. Just as the constitution is no hindrance to the criminally stupid statist control freaks in the government.
