There was a reason I specified infantry arms specifically.
Do I think citizens could responsibly use a rocket laucher? Yes, given ranges specifically built for the purpose like the military have, appropriate training requirements (well regulated in the 2nd amendment refers to training) and prohibiting criminals and those with diagnosed and legally ajudicated mental health defects. Cost alone would prevent most people from owning, much less using, a rocket launcher.
Same thing for automatic guns, grenades and other items that you would expect an infantry soldier to carry.
None of this, of course, removes the responsibility to not cause bodily harm or kill others, or damage the property of others.
I am okay with crewed weapons like tanks, artillary, jets and ships being treated differently, and in particular requiring a level of insurance to be carried to be able to legally operate them with active weapons. A tank without a functional gun is not much different than a tracked backhoe.
