…yes.
I can spend $20 and buy a ham radio.
I have full control over it.
I have no license to operate it.

Don’t need a license to have the radio or even to use it to listen. Only need a license to transmit.

Their point is they can buy the radio and use it do to things they aren’t allowed to, so why aren’t those devices subject to the same restrictions as cell phones

That also depends on where you are located. Some countries are twitchier about citizens having radio equipment than others.

Correct, but to be fair they did say “to operate” which should be taken as transmitting.
