The populace isn't allowed to own tanks, military fighter jets, bombers, bombs, and especially not nuclear weapons.

The most effective ways of fighting a modern military are bombs (IEDs), air superiority, and nuclear deterrence.

This really isn't true. Look up Destructive Devices and the sale listings for tanks and jets.

>Mixing binary components together constitutes manufacturing explosives. Persons manufacturing explosives for their own personal, non-business use only (e.g., personal target practice) are not required to have a Federal explosives license or permit.

i.e "the kind of explosives most non-experts in non-military settings are best served by are free to use for personal use (state law notwithstanding)"
