Short answer ...yes.
Privately-owned cannons were used during the Revol;utionary War.
Now I remember who you are...the silly little man who is only able to express his "argument" by the use of impotent insults.
Why don't you tell us all again why Red Bull and other caffeine-enhanced energy drinks should be banned?
I could use a good laugh.
There you have it folks:
Bill thinks restrictions against private ownership of surface to air missles constitutes "gun control"
So tell me Bill: Should heroin be legal?
Um, I might if I had ever said that. I have no problem with Red Bull.
Sheesh! What is it with you libertarians and memory problems?
Legal and regulated.
you are a real piece of work, dude...it was on one of the threads where you praised Ozzy.
Talk about memory problems.
Thanks so much. You'll understand I like this to be out in the open so people understand what an out of touch lunatic you are. Then again, maybe you won't.
Sadly, no. Again, you are confused.
I and dozens of my fellow long time cannabis connoisseurs are living proof that your information may be inaccurate. Of course there would be nothing new about inaccurate information being presented against cannabis use.

Oh, and could we please try to avoid inane libertarian "two wrongs make a right logic" in the future? Thanks so much.
O.K. I'll cut the chase and get to the point.
The war against marijuana is the only way the federal government can make money from cannabis. If it were legal - the going price would be about $2. per ounce instead of $100. plus per ounce. By the fed.s keeping the price of cannabis artificially high - it allows the fat cat smuggling rings to stay very profitable. In short - your federal government is charging you over 10 billion dollars per year to make marijuana smuggling profitable. It has nothing to do with morals or harm to life.
Uh-huh, I guess the system we have in place is working real good keeping addicts from committing crimes.
Yep...that war on drugs is sure great.
Nope...you can look it up.
Not my information. Even knowledgable pro-pot advocates do not dispute this.

I'm sorry, you thought does not seem to have made it through the tinfoil intact. Are you saying that the fed.s are in cahoots with the unnamed fat cats?
Bill, it doesn't work that way. When you accuse me of something, it is your responsiblity to prove it, not mine.
Good luck with that.
I stand by my position.
1. Everyone (over 21) should be allowed to grow their own marijuana. Ditto for opium plants, toxic mushrooms.
2. NO selling or "giving" it away. First offense punishable with public caning. Second offense, execution.
3. Anyone who buys said items gets a public caning.
4. In one or two years anyone who wants to get stupid can grow it themselves, it'll take the money out of it, and the risk of public pain and shame will do the rest.
5. Drug problem solved.
6. Meth? Death.
And when heroin is cheaper and more plentiful, addiction will obviously disappear, right?
It kind of reminds me of how the FDA is "protecting" the U.S. public from cheap foreign prescription drugs- so the domestic producers can make insanely high profits.
Might I say pharmaceutical lobbyists?
If you have evidence that there are politicians who are getting kickbacks for keeping drugs illegal, I suggest you quite your job and write a book about it immediately.
Funny. Just imagine the growth of big gov't necessary to control and regulate all the legalized drugs. Gov't growth would be exponential.
I prefer my solution I just posted.
The difference is tha mind-altering drugs including alcohol and the pills Bill's doctor has him on are all regulated.
