You know it's very easy to get a bow and arrow right? Even if you're a felon with mental health problems.

Live your dreams.

There is no restriction of any kind against owning a cannon, contrary to what the president has suggested.

That is not true. If it's pre 1898 it's antique, beyond that it is classified as a destructive device and has a whole bunch of red tape. Anytime you see words $200 tax stamp it isn't easy to get.

And even a pre 1898 cannon is going to cost you $8k+ for a rusted out POS that will explode if you try to actually fire it.

Wait, what counts as cannon? Would it be illegal to conceal carry an unregistered 20mm auto cannon?

Pretty much anything muzzle loaded. Even a single shot muzzle loaded rifle is “not a firearm”
