I believe it’s still true that the only Cabalas store that sold real black powder was the store in Hamburg PA. The reason is the genuine black powder is classified as an explosive and you need a special license for explosives . The black powder substitutes are classified as propellants.

That’s true. I remember the “Saturday night special” panic by the left. Bali-Song, or Butterfly knives are actually not as fast to deploy as most other lock back folders, and carry a much greater chance of slicing your fingers if you practice with them enough to get skilled...

"An argument could be made that it does not include heavy crew-served weapons, but at the time you had civilian ownership of cannons."
As a pre teenager in the 1930, the family library include a Bannerman's catalog that included Civil War cannons. My father used it to buy two brass-basket-handled naval cutlasses with which my brother and I played.

An argument could be made that it does not include heavy crew-served weapons, but at the time you had civilian ownership of cannons. The argument can be made, but it would be categorically wrong. The Constitution specifically mentions Letters of Marque, which very strongly implies private ownership of crew-served weapons.

No… the letters merely gave you authorization to attack hostile nations shipping on Americas behalf. They were not necessary for you to arm your ship for mere self defense against pirates. Yes, because as an American citizen you had the God-given right to buy any arm that you could afford, a right that shall not be infringed upon.

Exactly. Every American flagged ship could arm it as he saw fit to protect itself. Cannons and all. But to act on behalf of America and to attack ships from hostile flags, you needed the blessing of the government.
Letters of Marque and reprisal had nothing to do with allowing you to be armed or buy cannons.

The point is that you would never have had the capability to do that without the private ownership of ships with multiple cannons. Private ownership of crew-served weapons (multiples of them!) is allowed in the Constitution as implied by that section.
