Yes we can actually. You just have to jump through a few hoops.

They can actually. US Law allows the purchase of both.
Both require a background check and a tax stamp.

@wintermute_oregon @zeppo The common line of argumentation I hear from the left on this is actually regarding tanks and RPGs. I get what he's trying to ask here.

You can buy both in America. It all depends on how much paperwork you want to fill out.
Sometimes you have to make a great commitment to start a business to do it.
It is actually shocking what you can buy if you had the interest, time and money to do it.

@wintermute_oregon Oh. I thought for sure it was illegal to have a weaponized tank or an #RPG.
