Let's make a simple practical example of, let's say, a 155mm Howitzer.
What are the legal steps a civilian must undertake to own one?? Where and when he/she can use it?? Under what circumstances?? Under monitoring??
I know that some states ban the ownership of destructive devices by civilians.
What is the upper (Federal) legal limit of destructive decives civilian ownership??
Can you legally own (at least in some states) a B-52 loaded with bombs?? What about a figher jet armed with missiles and cannons??
Some pieces of hardware have ad-hoc legislation to limit private ownership??
The ultimate extreme example...what is the specific law that bans ownership of a nuclear weapon by a civilian??
I'm curious about this often poorly understood part of weapon legislation.
I was one, among many, that thought that "you cannot own a cannon in the US...or any firearm bigger than 50 cal. (excluding shotguns)" but then I realized that is not true.
Regards
