I would go further than that. I want citizens to be able to own cannons, explosives like C4 and TNT, tanks, gun ship helicopters, and on the militia level (organized in the thousands ideally) for citizens to collectively own a nuke for their town. I mean it. I want the citizens to be so well armed that they can go to war with Congress and the US military and beat them a dozen times over.
Quite costly to finance two standing militaries( one Federal and a Militia based to keep the other in check).
The Swiss do it right, they are also not playing super power (which is now broke), but are neutral but well armed. Of course, they have a geographic advantage with their terrain and location, but also disadvantages.
Their small amount of professionals are the core for the militia based system.
The citizen in uniform is still the best model to prevent what happened with the US military.
I want a tank with a mounted M60
I want intercontinental ballistic missiles with nuclear war heads and a loaded aircraft carrier.
You’ll need to show some ID.
And a credit report
Any company fulfilling active DOD contracts should be required to sell whatever they make to civilians.
The fact that you can own a 40mm launcher but there's zero 40mm HEDPs because American Ordnance won't sell to civilians is fucking criminal.
