That's not a gun

I saw only pistols and rifles on the page.

This is a gun.

In DC, all you need cash-n-carry.

Yep CT isn't cool enough to let us own 90mm Howitzers.

Same here...that's a bummer. But, you can legally own a muzzle loading cannon of any caliber.

I have an acquaintance, Tom Lupton that, amongst a lot of other things, builds BP cannon. FWIW, Tom built the salute cannon used by the University of Texas service organization, the Texans,to signal touchdowns at UT games.

The last time I was in his shop, Tom was working on a naval cannon that was something like a 6 or 8 pounder. IIRC, the barrel weighed about 1000# and came from Dixie Gun Works (I think). He did the barrel finishing and built the carriage. The year before he was applying the finishing touches to a Civil War field piece, complete with caisson.

Neato.

I'm surprised there's no IAI Desert Eagle 50 or 454 Casul... Though, in the case of the 50, I think that anything that can be fired with just one hand is not manly enough...

I'm surprised that a Federal law doesn't prohibit such a weapon.
I can't imagine the cost of ammo.
Not to nit pick, but that cannon is actually a gun. A Howitzer has a much shorter tube (barrel).

Methinks James and Gary DeGroat own that gun/cannon and they are arms manufacturers. They probably have the necessary licensing and, no doubt, have regular friendly visits from close, personal friends at the BATF.

And howitzers are for indirect fire; cannons are for direct fire.
