I realize government bans lots of things. I just don't really support the idea. Extreme regulation is acceptable for me. If I want to own a tank, I should be allowed to. Sure, I'd have to prove my competence, and I probably wouldn't have any legal place to drive it (other than my own land), but I don't think the government has the right to say I can't buy one -- or build one myself.
The bottom line is, I think the government has the authority to impose restrictions to protect the people, and facilitate commerce. Beyond that, they have no just reason to impose a law. So, unless they could prove that me owning a tank would threaten the safety of others, I don't think they have any right to prevent me from doing so.
