“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agents of war, with all the weaponry that entails, and since that portion of the US Constitution has not been repealed by Amendment, it stands, along with the logical realities.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 |
| "And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? [...] The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!" —Alexander Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago (Chapter 1 "Arrest") |
