The value of gun ownership doesn’t come from firing the gun in anger. Most guns will never be used that way. That’s the ultimate backstop, but most of the value of gun ownership is about the culture it builds:

If you’re stopping tyranny by firing live rounds, you’re way past the point where the law matters. From “OSD 233: What about nukes?”:
In a scenario where you need light weapons (or, to take it to the theoretical extreme, nukes), would laws actually get in your way, whatever they are? That would be by definition a situation where the law no longer matters. Insurgencies and war-making efforts succeed or fail for lots of reasons — and “darn it, the government said we’re not allowed to have RPGs” is never one of them.
The way guns really stop tyranny is by building a culture, and a personal legend in each person’s mind, that prizes freedom as a goal in and of itself. That doesn’t mean guns will always succeed at that. They demonstrably don’t. It just means that when they fail, it’s not because people need to start firing them — it’s because we need to build the culture even stronger.

What is this word salad!?!
Try re-reading it, with an emphasis on basic comprehension.
More guns less fucks given regarding commie tyranny.
The writer is not correct. You can own an RPG. You can own any rocket launcher.
Are there rules? Yes there are. You can even DIY a rocket launcher at home. Just follow the laws.
If it doesn’t have a destructive device warhead. Then make as many as you want. No restrictions.
