The Gun Control Act of 1968 prohibits Americans from acquiring any military vehicle made after 1968. Anything made after 1968 must be built from other 'grandfathered' vehicles. The only exemption is a museum which had approval from the DOD and ATF. No one in the U.S. will get a T-72 in a rental capacity. The only guy I know who had one, had it in his museum, which he jumped through many hoops to get 'approval' for
