Rep. Gwen Moore: Will Right to Bear Arms Lead to People Owning Submarines? | NewsBusters

As a former submariner myself, I can tell you that most people will find them rather expensive to maintain and operate.

I used to know a couple that built their own submarine.

Paul Allen has a submarine

I know a few people that own tanks... I don't see the issue. Of the tanks I know about the gun has been deactivated, but you could probably have an operational one if it were registered as a DD?

I thought the 2nd amendment only applied to firearms you can personally carry by yourself, so things like swords, tanks, ICBM's, harriers, subs, etc. are not guaranteed? Am I right?

But as long as they can afford it... go ahead!

Field artillery wasn't unheard of at the time the 2nd was written. Matter of fact, private citizens in Cincinnati, OH purchased two cannon for the Texian rebels. IMO there's a strong-ish argument for machine guns, rocket launchers and even light artillery pieces.

Before I forget: *Dumbest

Most of the US navy was privately owned during the revolution.

And so were the guns they used.

Yeah, sometimes our arguments, though valid and well intended, don't help.

 

[General Zod]

There are privately owned jet fighters. I don't see the issue...then again, the whole argument is irrelevant.

It didn't take a second amendment for drug lords to get them.

Above the law, below the law. Don't matter. They get the good toys, we get hand me downs, but we pay for their new and improved stuff.
