Why are Americans not allowed to own mortars, tanks, grenades or Rockets?

[ruthless rocco]

This is an interesting question.
I wonder if @El Kabong's god has granted him his god given right to use mortars, tanks, grenades and rockets or if his permission stops at an automatic weapon stockpile.

I see you're still "not mocking" me

Let's say you are walking down the street and some random stranger physically attacks you, what would be your immediate response to that? I am looking forward to your response.


Alright as for your questions.

Hand grenades are regulated under the National Firearms Act (“NFA”), a federal law first passed in 1934 and amended by the Crime Control Act of 1968. The 1968 amendments made it illegal to possess “destructive devices,” which includes grenades.

Cannon shells are classed as destructive devices in the U.S. under the 1934 National Firearms Act (NFA). They must be registered with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and, though legal under federal law, are prohibited from being owned by civilians in certain states.

And yes, you may buy decommissioned tanks although the guns and firing control systems must be disabled.

I'm not certain as to why somebody would want such things to protect their property as they create a lot of collateral damage....explode a hand grenade in your house and you'll have to remodel the entire room, blast a shotgun off and all you need is spackle and some paint.


You have absolutely 0 idea at what it takes to own an automatic weapon. Now there are some add ons for certain firearms which mimic automatic weapons one of which was made use of by the Las Vegas shooter the "bump stock"...it would not bother me if those were only available for class 3 license holders. By the by, legally obtained automatic weapons have been used in 3....yes 1,2,3 crimes since 1934.

I'm not mocking you. You're enough of a joke on your own.

If I'm walking down the street and a stranger attacks me I'd fight him off as best I could. I may have to run away. A good citizen may come to my aid. He may beat me to a pulp. That's what would happen.

Let me ask you a question.
What if you're attacked by a stranger on the street, and you light him up with all your God given weaponry, and you kill that SOB dead because he was trying to take your American flag off your jacked up pickup truck, with your young cousin's panties dangling from the rear view mirror like the prize catch that she was.
When you die years later and get to the pearly gates and they tell you that you aren't welcome into the kingdom because you murdered a man.
What would be your immediate response to that?
