What you are missing is the fact that logic and reason have little to do with gun control arguments. Fear and ignorance rule the day.

You left out lying.

Interestingly enough you can still own cannons. You could even own an 8" Howitzer or 16" Naval gun. Neither accept an assembled cartridge. You must first insert the projectile then the powder charge.

So, they are actually just a big muzzleloader!

Well, some cannons were muzzleloaders.

If Steelslaver is referencing inserting the projectile, then the powder charge, those are breechloaders.

Our president often repeats the lie that private citizens could not own cannons in the 1700s.

Ya on real big guns you first inset the chosen projectile, then bags of powder. The breach is sealed by a hinged plug, with an interrupted screw.

The threads have a slots in male and female halves Once closed a partial turn of the breech block tightens and holds in it sealed in place. No casing is used.

Even when they are designated as a destructive devices, a $200 tax stamp and your good to go.

I also found that the Italian Army has 668 of them out of service all waiting for you. You can buy one for a paltry 30,000 euros.

I imagine the shipping is on the high side and then there is the expense of the $200 stamp if you chose not to have the gun deactivated.

Heck, looking at world events today, as part of the well-regulated militia necessary to the security of a free state, then the arms we bear should include a Javelin and a Stinger missile. Or at least an RPG.

The last time I saw an arrangement like that it said "ACME" on it and was being ridden by a coyote.
