Why aren't gun-lovers lobbying for the right to own rocket launchers?

If you're gonna defend yourself against a tyrannical government in this day and age, then you should have the right to own the weapons necessary to destroy tanks and fighter jets.

Rocket launchers are legal; they simply require the right paperwork.

How do you think St. Augustine(Castillo de San Marcos) still uses Cannons daily? Construction crew use TNT too, so explosives are legal.

Because I'm sure they are already legal to own, you just need the proper permits. They just cost a small fortune (not including the ammunition). Edit: *shakes fist at fightingfan*Zeviander

You can't have a rocket launcher that's loaded.

Dumb question, but those kind of this are technically legal, you just need the proper permits (just like fully automatic weapons).

The issue with explosives, especially military grade high explosives, isn't their use against other people, it's the proper storage and handling of such explosives. You can't just lock the up in a gun safe in your garage like you can with ammunition.

There is a reasonable level of control on harmful devices that we exercise on a daily basis in the interest of public safety. Modern ammunition and modern firearms do not just randomly go off. It's been declared safe to store locally, thus we can buy and sell them without having to have rigorous permits.

You're breaking the law and paying a hefty fine or serving jail time, as with anyone who breaks the law.

Yeah, that red tape costs a boat load of money. So much so that the average person does not have the means to aquire them.

And the money to pay hundreds of dollars per round and the patience to wait up to half a year just for your order of rockets to come in right? I'm sure you can all afford that luxury during a revolution. Why not make rockets as easy to buy as bullets? That's what we all need.

[QUOTE="thegerg"] Stop moving the goalposts. You're attempting to spread misinformation (either that or you're simply ignorant yourself) to other users in order to make some kind of point. It's childish and dishonest.thegerg

If there's low demand, the price would be low. You take an econ 101 course. Lol.

I need teh missile launcher

When the government comes to take our freedom and weapons we won't need rocket launchers, tecnology, or anti air defenses to destroy military vehicles all we need is a rifle, because holding a rifle turns you into the perfect mix of Arnold/Stollone/Reb Brown. They will rip tanks apart with their teeth because their hands will of course be duel wielding and mowing down the government lackies.

Other answer

Bows to fire sticks of dynamite

Because very few of them actually want to own rocket launchers, presumably.

Because the guy with the rocket launcher is always the team killer. Always.

Haven't you been to the movie theatre and it tells you to turn off all bazookas until after the movie?

The Taliban are doing a pretty damn good job keeping the US military at bay and they don't have tanks or jets or missile systems.....

And the Afghanis made it real hard for the Soviets... as much as the North Vietnamese made it hard for the US.

[QUOTE="thegerg"] Which question? "And the money to pay hundreds of dollars per round and the patience to wait up to half a year just for your order of rockets to come in right?" That's not even a complete thought. Try constructing a real question. "Why not make rockets as easy to buy as bullets?" Because there are fewer of them available, and there is less of a demand. Making them easier to buy would artificially deflate their price, screwing over their owner. It would also be just plain silly from an economics standpoint. Flooding the market with something for which there is so little demand is pointless. I suggest that you take an introduction to economics course. MrPraline

[QUOTE="lamprey263"]well, if you really believe that the 2nd amendment is to protect yourself from government tyranny you should be lobbying for rocket launchers, I mean the government and their enforcers of oppression have armored vehicles so anti-tyranny freedom fighters are going to need something that packs a punchthegerg

As has been explained a couple times already, the facilities and resources needed to properly store and dispose of these things is a huge barrier to entry. Firearms and firearm ammo is just more practical.

Then again, I don't complain about the people that are able to own them legally.
