Historians say they are doubtful that there were laws to bar individual ownership of cannons during the Revolutionary War period.
"It seems highly unlikely that there were restrictions on the private ownership" of cannons, said Julie Anne Sweet, a historian and director of military studies at Baylor University.
David Kopel, the research director and Second Amendment project director at the free-market Independence Institute, agreed. "I am not aware of a ban on any arm in colonial America," he said.

To the contrary, there are documented instances of privateers, or privately owned vessels, setting sail with cannons during the period.https://www.statesman.com/story/news/politics/elections/2020/06/30/fact-check-could-individuals-own-cannons-during-revolutionary-war/113951468/I have an ancestor who was the Sargent at Arms for the Ancient & Honorable Artillery Company, the nations oldest military organization made up entirely of individual citizens!
Our ancestors and Founders banned NOTHING!
