Army Secretary Nominee: Citizens Should have Same Arms As Military

No weapons of mass destructions. Also I think since it says right to bear arms I think that limits it to smaller arms. So, no MOAB for me. I would LOVE a tank though.

I think Mr Owens stated it very well, maybe we should make Congress and the Media take a class given by him. Yes, there are people who have their own Tanks, which if you purchase from the Army are demilled, but those are things that you can always find someone who knows how to fix that easily enough. PT boats are still running around (saw one on Hammacher Schlemmacher for sale a year ago for 1 Mill). So I for one agree, the only limitation of your purchase should be your pocketbook, and your ability to pass the basic background check (they don't do much, but they do help and the 3 day cool off is not a bad idea either). Because the fact is that bad guys can still get around those 2 pet pieces of liberal thinking, and buy guns off the street for way less than they will usually cost us at the store. and police are not everywhere, as Sheriff Clark told the people of Milwalkee, YOU are your best defender and are on your own for anywhere from 2 minutes to ?? because of officer availability.
I will agree the liklyhood of someone owning AND MANNING an Aircraft carrier is extreamly low, if they are for the USA, then more power to them.
