The United States Government borrowed military equipment, including cannons, from civilians during the Revolution.
US civilians sent rifles and shotguns to England during WWII (later dumped in the north sea).
Yeah.. every terrible instrument of war belongs to the individual.
As far as your first point... You explain to God how aborting a baby is a GoodThing(tm).
You really reached.
Military medical care is an evil thing, in a lot of cases.
I suppose you think abortion is ok, the 2nd amendment is negotiable, socialized medicine is fine, and government should control everything...

Well, civilians can still own and operate those old cannon.

What prevents you from disassembling an old shotgun, packaging it up and shipping it to someone in England?

So you are just fine knowing that your hard partying neighbors who heat their home with space heaters are allowed to purchase and store any type munition in their townhouse next to you?

My understanding is that most pregnancies naturally abort. Of the problem pregnancies such as a deformed child that are brought to term, the bible doesn't directly address the topic but it's safe to say that in biblical times, they didn't live very long.

Such reaching is necessary given the chasm that separates us.

Assuming you are being honest and forthright, you've never voted, not even for Reagan.
