You can own tanks in the US but not if the main gun can fire, and you can't own the ammunition.

Yes, there is no reason it wouldn't.

Are they sold by arms dealers?

Then they are arms... So the 2nd amendment applies.

That said we also have written confirmation from Jefferson that it applied to full battle ships... Soooo... Yea.

Why wouldn't itnapply to tanks?

you can own a tank
not allowed to drive it on public roads or buy a firing mechanism for the gun tho.

You can own a fully operational tank. You can even get rounds for it and shoot it. You can take it on roads but only with special rubber treads.

It doesn't but it should

It should at absolute worst be like NFA shit. Get a tax stamp and enjoy your tank.

When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.--Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government.

has anyone done this publicly?

I'd give up my right to bear arms for the right to breed all those cute anime girls
