I can't believe the pics that are posted on that page and bombs and tanks are not 'arms'.

This open carry shit is overboard. Why should we HAVE to trust the nut who's armed? These assholes are insane. Notice they are ALL white. All afraid of their own black shadow. We need to stop this insanity NOW. We all pay city taxes, and WE all deserve to go out and not see some nut with their gun in a grocery store. So glad I live in Ca. We should get all liberals out of Texass, and let the red necks with guns take over and secede from the rest of us. Let them shoot each other. And fence their dumb asses in.

Bombs require an explosives license. The tank is completely fine if the cannon is disabled, otherwise you need a Federal Firearms License.

EDIT: some states regulate flamethrowers as agricultural equipment, but most do not. Either way there's no place where they're outright illegal to own.

Tanks generally get such poor gas mileage and are hard to park in the garage.

Their "about" section says it. I couldn't be sure though!

But the pics posted aren't satire...they're often very, very serious, and it's sick.
