So Why Isn't Iran Allowed to Have Weapons That We Ourselves Have? And Have Actually Used? Isn't This Hypocrisy?

The feds made it very expensive to limit citizens getting them.

What Military Artillery Can Civilians Own?​

The short answer is: very little. Civilian ownership of military artillery is heavily restricted in the United States and many other countries. While some exceptions exist, genuine, operational military artillery pieces capable of firing conventional ammunition are generally prohibited for private ownership due to federal laws like the National Firearms Act (NFA) of 1934 and subsequent legislation. What is permitted often involves deactivated or heavily modified artillery.

Apparently someone owns them. You can shoot one round out of a WW2 105mm howitzer for $1500, at this place in Texas. And many other pieces of artillery. I doubt they're rounds with the explosive charge intact, their website doesn't say.

75MM Pack Howitzer for sale

There was a guy named Dangerous Dave Cunningham back in the day. He sold artillery and anti tank guns all the time.

He was known as The Old Western Scrounger. Quite an interesting fellow. I knew him very early on when he worked for Sam Cummins, the founder of Interarms, and a CIA weapons provider.

I believe I used to have an Old Western Scrounger catalog from the late 60's or early 70's. Not sure whatever happened to him, but I think his company is still in business...

Too much stupid.

The Iraq war Just showed that the only countries that get invaded by the US are ones that don't have a nuclear deterrent. Can we go back to the drawing board in our thinking about this war? Bottom line, sovereign countries have a right to have any weapons they want. Persia has not started a war in 1,000 years. Unlike the US.

Should the US be a theocracy like Iran?

 

[Superbadbrutha]

Ummmm, that's their goal. They WANT the end of the world to come. Try reading what they believe sometime.

Propaganda, if the world ends so do they. Try using some common sense.

 

[Superbadbrutha]

doesn't matter----in an ARMAGEDDON for people who truly believe in ETERNAL REWARD
IN JANNAH---you have presented a MOOT POINT-----AND survival of the society on the whole
would depend on WHO CAN AFFORD TO LOSE THE MOST POPULATION

Propaganda.

 

[Superbadbrutha]

you seem to be suggesting that INNOCENT, QUIET Iran is in danger of being
attacked not in response but JUST BECAUSE. Learn some history

The history shows who has been the aggressor.

 

[irosie91]

Propaganda.

to what "propaganda" do you allude?

 

[Superbadbrutha]

Do suicide bombers give a flying **** what happens a minute after? They are religious zealots, they are terrorists.

Will suicide bombers destroy the whole world ?

Obviously a Jewish racist.

 

[Rawley]

Will suicide bombers destroy the whole world ?

Uh, No.

Will suicide bombers destroy the whole world ?

Nihilists like your Mullah friends in Iran would love that. But no, it's not going to happen. They are bullies, aka pussies.

[jknowgood]

Come on Munk, you know what it is. Anyone who has nukes holds a deterrent to being attacked. All you have to do is look at the countries who have them and the countries who are not allowed to have them.

What you saying?

Look up "religious fanatic" you know, the dudes who BLOW THEMSELVES UP!

so far----to wit, in the past 1400 years of their lamentable existence----they have failed in that
questionable mission

 

[ShahdagMountains]

Because they are terrorists and will use it if they have it.

DURRRRRR.

Why don’t they get that?

 

[irosie91]

Why don’t they get that?
