The fact that it is all legal gets me.

Yeah, I know a lot of people that are against gun control. But you'd think that rocket control would be more widely supported. Except self-defense and hunting rockets of course.


So I'd be allowed to bring my RPG onto the New York subway?

I know Texas get made fun of a lot, but is it really possible to buy the 2 weapons in this video in Texas? I'm really asking, I don't know, but it would seem overkill even for Texas standards.

But have you seen the size of the spiders they have in Texas? What else are you gunna use to take them out but a rocket launcher?

At $500 a shot for those rockets... I think I'd rather just get mugged. I don't have that kind of money to be disposing of, what am I a Republican?

>> ^quantumushroom: You liberals all say this, until the night you get mugged by a tank.

I think a combination of rarity, expense, and just plain impracticality is why these things are legal.
Besides, while it may be legal to own one, mounting something like that 50 BMG on your car is probably not legal. These weapons might be big and scary but not suitable for common criminal activities like robbing banks and knocking over convenience stores, subtly is not a common feature of these weapons.
On another note, I wonder how full those gas cans were? Less would be better I imagine since fumes go up easier than the liquid.

The guy is in Georgia. Laws in regards to such things are the same, as in that they are not regulated at the state level, only federal. Anyone with a clean background and the cash can own them. Fill out the appropriate paperwork and pay the excise taxes and you're ready to go.


Also note, on stuff like explosive rockets and grenades, there is a $200 tax on each one, so it can add up fast...But there are limits on what is considered an explosive. Off the top of my head, I think anything under 1/4oz of powder and it's not considered an explosive. Furthermore, to have explosives, you have to have a proper magazine to store them, can't just keep them in your house.

So in other words, the things are so regulated to get and use, that you have to be smart enough to know the laws to get through the paperwork, and rich enough to be able to buy them. Unless you are a manufacturer, then you can do what you want. I have a hunch he is either a manufacturer, or son/relative of one. And whoever owns them is rich and has a lot of land. You'd be surprised at how many collectors there are with the same stuff, they just don't post it on Youtube
