Re: Is subbie aroung?
Please don't tell me that some US citizens have the right to carry machine guns.......!!!
If by "machinee gun" you mean a fully automatic weapon, then yes dependent on the state.

Re: Is subbie aroung?
Are there any states where the personal ownership of an armoured tank is allowed?
Yes, look up Jacques Littlefield on google, and there are others who own various WW2 tanks and armored vehicles with the weapons deactivated.
​
Does it even exist or is it (at least potentially) a case of anything goes?
Again the laws vary widely from state to state and community to community so it hard to say exactly where the cut off line is. Anything .50 calibre and under is classifed as "small arms" and is generally unrestricted.
​
State Laws
​
Federal Law
​
As for tank aramaments they would fall under the Destructive Devices category and as such might be banned from civillian ownership in some states
​
edited again to add: Fully automatic weapons, or "Class 3" weapons, aside from being illegal in most states are really expensive because civillians are only allowed to own those that were in the US and registered with the ATF before May 19, 1986. So the supply is limited and the demand is high, just googling around for a little research I found a company in Texas selling AK-47s for $16k. The average person wont be (legally) owning one.

Re: Charlton Heston
Heston: Perhaps it has more to do with the people with different ETHNICITIES in America.
This doesn't make any sense, does the US have ethnic groups that we here in Canada do not?

Re: Charlton Heston
the ethic groups are similar but the numbers, and concentrations are much different.
So Heston's answer of:
Perhaps it has more to do with the people with different ETHNICITIES in America.
Doesn't actually answer the question.
