Then you don't know too many US citizens.  Practically anyone can
legally own an automatic weapon; all you have to do is be willing to pay
the tax.  As for C4, there are lots of commercial explosives you can get
(I remember when we started regulating these, for no apparently good
reason).  All you need to do is come up with a good excuse (like blowing
out stumps or something).
