No permit necessary for tanks and nukes then, right?
Nope! You can buy a tank online. Probably will set you back about as much as a new Ferrari for a restored Cold War example, but no permit required.
Munitions included? Who wants a gun with the trigger welded?
No, but you can probably apply to the ATF for a destructive device registration if you make its gun operational.
I think you also need to do the same for each shell. I know you have to do this for grenade launchers, I'm assuming it's the same for tank shells (especially exploding rounds, not sure about non-exploding).
Got it. So as long as I can carry it, I should never need a permit. RPGs? Stinger missiles? Or does it have to use bullets?
And can you give me any logical reason to make that distinction other than "those are the words in the Constitution"?
Right. And I'm asking you to give me a reason for the distinction, not proof that the distinction has been made.
I know that's how the law has been interpreted up to this point. I'm asking you to explain why you believe it to be the correct interpretation
No, the firearms act is the thing that distinguished. It is not itself the justification for distinguishing.
Right now all you're saying is "because that's the law". I want to know why you think that's how the ought to be
but I'm asking you. You can't answer the question? Or choose not to? You think there's no value in discussing these issues and trying to get people to agree? That's how you get like-minded people elected, my dude.
Unless you're saying nothing anyone can say will ever change your opinion on this issue. Which would be an end to any and all conversation
Got it. You literally are incapable of having your own opinions because you think they "don't matter". We have nothing more to talk about. Peace ✌️
Then next time just say "no" instead of pretending like you have some winning argument for a question that's not being asked.
So you agree that armor-piercing ammunition should not be legal, correct? It shoots from a gun, but it explodes. So it is a destructive device.
I asked if you agreed, not what the ATF did.
Weird, then, that you're fine giving it when you haven't been asked for it.
That in itself sounds like an opinion. Maybe you don't know what an opinion is?
