It is still legal to own some cannons. Machine guns were legal until about the 30’s. In the 1800,s the westerners built forts and armed them with what they could afford. Some riverboats and steam boats had cannons. The low information crowd does not know a magazine form a clip or a belt. The want to ban M1 carbine because it can hold a 30 round magazine and is semi-automatic. A M1 Garand can out fire a M14 and the 30-06 is several times more powerful than the 30 carbine. We are ruled by the vain and ignorant.

A M1 Garand can out fire a M14...

I don't have a clue what you are talking about. A M14 fires a .308Win cartridge fully automatically with a detachable magazine.
