4/17    Is it possible to buy hand grenades in the US?
        \_ yes, with certain restrictiosn.  Care to elaborate your question?
           \_ I'm the op. I don't understand WHY it is legal in the first
              place. My right to bear arms should be for self defense only,
              WHY are hand grenades even allowed? They are as ridiculous
              as shoulder heat seaking missle or RPG or mines. I can't
              imagine these things falling in civilian hands like that
              crazy VT student. IMHO highly offensive weapons that have
              very little self defense value should be completely banned.
              \_ Every well regulated militia requires a significant stock of
                 plutonium.  Mutually assured destruction baby.
        \_ Someone call 911!
        \_ You can buy a book like the anarchist cookbook, make something
           more deadly. I suppose that should be banned, too.
