He's taken a clearly written amendment with plenty of supporting documents discussing its intent, and interpreted is as word salad. This was the guy that claimed magnets were inscrutable, so you shouldn't expect better of him. Besides, I'd buy a heck of a lot better tank than a Sherman, and yes, in fact, you can.

Some appeals court ruled very recently that the 2nd Amendment gives you the right to bear arms individually but does not grant you constitutional license for concealed carry. If so, tanks are already disqualified. I'm selling mine relatively cheaply.

Well whatever you do, don't take away one's 'right' to own an assault weapon. You know, those weapons designed to assault, i.e.,...kill as many people as one can in the shortest amount of time.

Is that conspicuous by its absence as I read the O'Reilly thing ?

From Bill O'Reilly: "There is too much gun crime in the USA, and high-powered weaponry is too easy to get," he said. "That's the fact. So let's deal with it. We all have the right to bear arms, but we don't have the right to buy and maintain mortars. Even if you feel threatened by gangsters or a New World Order. No bazookas, no Sherman tanks, no hand grenades. That's because the Second Amendment clearly states the government has a right to regulate militias, made up of individuals," he continued. "They have that right in the name of public safety. Therefore, Congress should debate what kind of weapons should be available for public sale. And the states, the individual states, should decide what kind of carry laws are good for their own people."

A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.

Founding Father oreilly:

the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed except, mortars, bazookas, tanks, hand grenades, or anything that can cause injury to self or others.
