“You can’t own a bazooka, you can’t own a tank. You can’t own rocket-propelled grenades. We should put some limits in place and I think the American people are with me. I’m no longer intimidated by the NRA. The moms and the kids, they are behind us on this issue, and I think it just takes leadership in Washington,” he concluded. The California Democrat formally announced he was running for office last week on “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.” His announcement heavily featured his push on reforming gun rights nationwide.

"You can't own... bazooka... tank... rocket-propelled grenades..."
If true, Mr. Swalwell, then the provision of the US Constitution authorizing Congress to issue Letters of Marque mandates that the recipients of those documents use only a few "authorized" small arms, a patently ridiculous circumstance.
A Letter of Marque authorizes actions by privateers (private citizens) during a time of war, contemplated against nation-state adversaries.
The key here is that private citizens would be authorized agents of war, with all the weaponry that entails, and since that portion of the US Constitution has not been repealed by Amendment, it stands, along with the logical realities. |

You actually CAN own tanks. There are people who own WW2 Sherman tanks, and others.
It's the weaponry on them that is highly regulated.
Oh, and Swalwell is an ass. There, I said it. |

TO REMEMBER |
| No kingdom can be secured otherwise than by arming the people. The possession of arms is the distinction between a freeman and a slave. He, who has nothing, and who himself belongs to another, must be defended by him, whose property he is, and needs no arms. But he, who thinks he is his own master, and has what he can call his own, ought to have arms to defend himself, and what he possesses; else he lives precariously, and at discretion. — James Burgh, Political Disquisitions: Or, an Enquiry into Public Errors, Defects, and Abuses [London, 1774-1775]. |
