Can we just bookmark this for the next land mines / flamethrowers / nuclear bombs thread?

[Recursion]

Q: Why can't I have a nuclear bomb / flamethrower / claymore mine, gun nuts?

A: Because the law that defines what weapons are legal for civilian ownership excludes them.

It's not tricky. It's not difficult. That's why.

(EDIT: actually, I'm pretty sure flamethrowers are entirely legal in most states.)

1. How do we get the law changed to legalize nukes and claymore mines?

[Recursion]

5. Well, you'd have to amend the NFA, which even the NRA isn't trying to do

There's just not a constituency for this.

[geek tragedy]

2. But why is such a law constitutional? nt

[Recursion]

4. There would have to be somebody trying to overturn it to have it overturned

As far as I know nobody is, so that's a moot question.

3. This is an outrage! The founding fathers wanted us to have whatever weapons we can afford.

The OP made Jesus cry.
