"“In fact, at no point has a tank, at no point have Howitzers, at no point have any of these things been in common use for civilians for their defense,” Taylor continued. “So that’s already a non-starter with the court.”
Actually, tanks and big guns have been playthings for Arizonans for years. I can think of a dozen WWII armored vehicles in private hands without straining. Howitzers by NAME, no, but big guns, yes since the birth of the nation - all cannon that fought at the beginning of the Revolution were privately owned. Mortars were privately owned until GCA 68 re-defined them as Destructive Devices. I heard of "mortar matches" being help with Russian and German WWII mortars after the war was over.
I think he's on a good track, and I hope it goes through, but as a shield against federal attacks on our rights? We'll see.
