'Nick' made this point, and followed up with:

Honestly, what oppression are people up against in 1st world countries that's fixed only with a fully stocked weapons locker? If the argument is bigger guns = better protection and everyone has the same bigger gun, how is it different then no one having a big gun[?]

Yeah, he's a kooky anti-gun nut. 👀

You ever hear of the Davy Crockett gun? The M-28 or M-29 Davy Crockett Weapon System was the tactical nuclear recoilless smoothbore gun for firing the M388 nuclear projectile armed with the W54 nuclear warhead that was deployed by the United States during the Cold War. (Wikipedia)

Not everyone is going to have one of those.

Indeed, but the M388 projectile would be rather pricy. Better to get a standard missile launcher, like an AT4, for the less expensive missiles. They're apparently easy to get at gun shows in the US. Would come in handy if Schwarzenegger approached you with his tank, or if you wanted to rob an armored truck.

The AT4 is a single use weapon with a unit cost of US$1,480.64.

The Davy Crockett isn't sold in stores, so it'd have to be a gift from the US government. US$0.
