“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agents of war, with all the weaponry that entails, and since that portion of the US Constitution has not been repealed by Amendment, it stands, along with the logical realities.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 |
| By calling attention to a well-regulated militia for the security of the Nation, and the right of each citizen to keep and bear arms, our Founding Fathers recognized the essentially civilian nature of our economy. Although it is extremely unlikely that the fears of governmental tyranny, which gave rise to the second amendment, will ever be a major danger to our Nation, the amendment still remains an important declaration of our basic military-civilian relationships, in which every citizen must be ready to participate in the defense of the country. For that reason I believe the second amendment will always be important. --JOHN F. KENNEDY |
