I can legally buy all sorts of guns and explosives today in the USA. So why
did the military not let me take home my M16? Or maybe a tank or two? Or some
Night Goggles? Why did they bother when the streets are already full of this
sort of stuff and gangs and so on... Most of it's available through the private
sector legally (save for the tank perhaps).
But the military is not in the business of "openly and publicly" being an arms
dealer and supplier of weapons to the streets of the USA.
Nor is the military in the business of wasting it's budget giving out military
grade equipment that it loses control and ownership of.
Nor do I suspect the military would reasonably change this.
