- ARandomerDude 6y agoWe actually do. Do you know anybody with a mortar tube?
- burkaman 6y agoYou can own a mortar tube in the US. It's classified as a "destructive device" so you might have to fill out some extra forms, and it's probably hard to find someone who will sell it to you.
- valec 6y agoDo you know anybody in the 1700s with magfed rifles?
- catalogia 6y agoNot that I'm aware, but they did have privately owned cannons firing grapeshot; veritable WMDs. Grenades were also a well established concept back then, though I don't know what the history of private grenade ownership in America is.
- dx87 6y agoFlint-lock muzzle loaders, private warships, hand crank machine guns, etc.
- Mediterraneo10 6y ago> hand crank machine guns, etc. Rotary cannons were not invented until the mid 19th century, so long after the American Founding Fathers and the drafting of the first amendments to the Constitution.

- libtardactual 6y agoThat doesn’t logically follow, the 2A precludes government restriction rather than permitting one owning a particular weapon.
