Americans are free people. We don't have to need a gun. We just have to decide that we want one.
Deciding that you want something isn't a good reason to allow someone to have something, sorry.
When it comes to something we have the Constitutional right to have (such as an automatic rifle), it is indeed good enough.
In addition, when it is something that people are legally allowed to have (such as a concealed handgun if they choose to get a permit), it is also good enough.
And when it comes to perfectly reasonable requests (like a change in company policy to allow concealed carry on the premises with a valid state permit), it is also good enough.

You should be able to get the tank no problem if you can afford it. No such luck on the pipe bombs. The grenade launcher will depend mostly on what state you live in.
