I hate it when I come late to these things. Where to start, where to start?

Yup I'm talking 105mm howitzer here, or maybe a 75mm pack howitzer for the more modest home.

In case you didn't know it, America's Revolution started when the Governor of Massachussetts sent soldiers to confiscate the contents of a privately owned armory. It was full of cannons and such. That's why the shooting started in the first place. Also, most of the Revolutionary War (and the War of 1812 for that matter), at least the "at sea" part, was fought by privateers - citizens with their own armed ships, granted 'Letters of Marque' by the government, because they had most of the guns. The Second Amendment exists because the citizens didn't want to trust the government with the guns, not the other way around.
