21. They have just as much use for a howitzer as Ted Nugent does for a machine gun

They may have more: they can fire the 1812 Overture without ruining the National Guard's holiday weekend. They can use it to break avalanches loose - don't laugh, people do this. They can put it in the front yard as a lawn ornament, where it would be far more decorative than the atrocity someone stole out of Anita Bryant's front yard. There have to be hundreds of things you can do with your own personal howitzer.
