    First they make an anti-littering law like this. Then they deny your application for a Tomohawk cruise missile. Wake up sheeple

      Maybe not a Tomahawk, but look at the existence of the Cybertruck and tell me I don’t need a personal Javelin

        Why? A cyber truck will go away if you just spritz it with vinegar.

        (It doesn’t have a clear coat.)

        The second amendment says that the military shouldn’t be allowed to restrict weapon sales to private civillians. If you can purchase a surface to air missile, you should be able to!

          Sure, but there’s basically no tactical value for a surface-to-air weapon compared to the expense both of the platform and of safe storage expenses. The only practical application a typical homeowner would have is interdicting invasive drones, in which case you’re better off with good old fashioned birdshot. The upside of a man-portable surface-to-surface platform like the Javelin is that it allows a gunner stationed in the bed of your pickup to selectively target and eliminate people who can’t merge without even slowing down.
