When the debate was about SSM on this board those opposed would go to extremes with examples such as:

"Can I legally marry a goat?" or "Can I marry my mom?"

Now we are seeing in the weapons for home defense folks using such extreme examples as:

"Can I use Sarin Gas?" or "Can I use a grenade launcher?"

Just food for thought I we return to "As The Board Turns"

Then there is the crowd who claim anything can be used as a weapon, including a rock, who are worried their guns might be taken away. Why? If anything can be used as a weapon, can't you MacGyver a spud gun?

There is the crowd that doesn't want gun control because laws don't work, but they want to outlaw abortion.

There is the crowd who doesn't want gun licenses to own a weapon designed to intentionally kill someone, but believe I should have a license to write a prescription so I don't accidentally kill someone. Prescription pads are a tool. Prescription pads don't kill people. People kill people.

There is the crowd who is against gun registries because they are afraid their home will be burgled or their guns will be confiscated. Meanwhile, my home address has been available online at the Georgia Composite Medical Board's website and anyone can burglarize my home when they see me at work and after 12 years no one has shown up at my door to confiscate my stethoscope.

Since you used the grenade launcher example, why is an AR-15 acceptable for civilian use, but a grenade launcher isn't? Maybe I want to use a smoke round to screen my movement? Who are you to tell me what weapon I should or shouldn't have? Hell, I might step in a hole and break my leg while hunting and could really use an illum round to mark my position at night for the SAR team.
