That is not true. If it’s pre 1898 it’s antique, beyond that it is classified as a destructive device and has a whole bunch of red tape. Anytime you see words $200 tax stamp it isn’t easy to get.
And even a pre 1898 cannon is going to cost you $8k+ for a rusted out POS that will explode if you try to actually fire it.
There is no restriction of any kind against owning a cannon, contrary to what the president has suggested.

Wait, what counts as cannon? Would it be illegal to conceal carry an unregistered 20mm auto cannon?
Pretty much anything muzzle loaded. Even a single shot muzzle loaded rifle is “not a firearm”
So like… an automatic muzzle loader not an automatic firearm?
Affordability and a lack of canon ready ramparts on my house are huge restrictions.
