Good. I didn't think that citizens could own cruise missiles in America can they?! D:

It's unlikely that the manufacturer would sell one to you.

Though plenty of people legally own a variety of rocket launchers, grenade launchers, artillery pieces, mortars, etc. Plenty of firepower to blow open the side of an armored car.

There's literally no other way of putting this:

That's fucking mental.
 
Never in the history of our country has one been used in a violent crime. Same with legally owned fully automatic weapons.

Seriously? No one has ever killed anyone in all of American history using a legally owned fully automatic weapon? No one's legally bought an AK47 then killed someone?
 
So as was said, everyone can get an education, for free.

Ahh, so that's how they brainwashed you.

When I think back
On all the crap I learned in high school
It's a wonder
I can think at all
And though my lack of education
Hasn't hurt me none
I can read the writing on the wall

I think that it's just how the British are 'trained' - if you're taught to follow one inbred family, then you're more susceptible to brainwashing. Those who are more nationalistic in the UK are the most susceptible to brainwashing.

On September 15th, 1988 Roger Waller, a 13-year veteran of the Dayton, Ohio police department used his legally owned MAC-10 .380 caliber machine pistol to murder a police informant. He plead guilty and was sentenced to 18 years in prison.

This is the only case of a legally owned fully automatic weapon being used in a violent crime since records were kept starting in 1934.

EDIT: This is out of approximately 500,000 legally owned fully automatic weapons in civilian hands in the United States.
