If every american decided they wanted an M1 tank for a car, fully armed would the government try to regulate and use laws to stop that? Yes, so they can do the same for regulations on products sold to consumers in their country.
1) "fully armed" is different. A Hummer or other gas-guzzling person cannot punch holes in armor from miles away. It's an invalid analogy.
2) The government could not stop people from buying unarmed tanks, in fact many collectors do.
