This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Except for state laws-- usually california, no limits on ammo purchases. Purchase 5 million rounds if thats what you need for um, deer hunting. Nothing over 50 cal, but 50 cal is fine. Mount it on your pickup truck or your own armored vehicle I guess. 50 cal ammo is 3 bucks per round for the cheap stuff so that adds up. Not a gun for the poors to own. You can own a tank if you want to, but theres a lot of laws around making it street legal, depending on the tank's weight.

Operating a tank is a paperwork nightmare, which is another reason why Americans are so cynical about their government.

What do you mean I can't have a Warhammer 40k type of missile launching bolter?

You can have it so long as it is semiautomatic. There's just a lot of paperwork involved because the bolter itself and each individual round are probably considered destructive devices.

What if I just want a little joy ride through San Diego as a treat?
