You are allowed to own a tank IF YOU FILL THE GUN WITH CONCRETE. You are not allowed to own a tank that has an operational gun. It boggles the mind to think you believe people are allowed to own a tank with an operational gun.

And I challenge you to destroy a 10-storey building in ten minutes with a car, dude. The gun is the bit of the tank that is for killing people and destroying other tanks.

I am not sure what the rules are around this, but I never claimed you could own a tank with an operational gun. Please reread what I wrote.

Regardless of the rules, I think this proves my point. You can own a tank without the weapon of war part. You can own a rifle without the weapon of war part. A rifle without the weapon of war part can be an AR15.

You can run over a huge number of people with a car. You can put a bomb in a car and blow it up and potentially take down a 10 story building.
