Yes we can actually. You just have to jump through a few hoops.

zeppo@lemmy.world 3 months agoThe line is drawn somewhere. Civilians can’t purchase automatic weapons or say, hand grenades. Do you think we should be able to?

They can actually. US Law allows the purchase of both.
Both require a background check and a tax stamp.

@wintermute_oregon @zeppo The common line of argumentation I hear from the left on this is actually regarding tanks and RPGs. I get what he's trying to ask here.

You can buy both in America. It all depends on how much paperwork you want to fill out.
Sometimes you have to make a great commitment to start a business to do it.
It is actually shocking what you can buy if you had the interest, time and money to do it.

@wintermute_oregon Oh. I thought for sure it was illegal to have a weaponized tank or an #RPG.
