    You do realize that there were private warships, correct? You act like these things were never allowed. They were allowed for those who could afford them. If you can afford a tank or a warthog go right ahead. Also maybe do a little research. There is no M15.

        And they helped us win conflicts. Private warships. Privateers. Cannons, and bombs, and gatling guns in private hands with no issue until people like Reagan got afraid of the blacks and started cracking down on inner cities.

          Back when the us was struggling with resources and didnt have a large standing army?..

          Also, it was a problem decades prior. Reagan merely expanded the NFA from 1934, created to curb the violent crimes from organized criminals, by prohibiting the sale of new manufactured automatic weapons.
