While it’s understandable for people to own certain guns, like a handgun to protect their family and hunting guns to shoot animals, some don’t make sense. There are actual weapons people can buy that can cause serious, over-the-top damage. When used, there will obviously need to be a good case to use it, but it’s legal to have. Some good news is that highly-populated states, such as California and New York, generally forbid people owning these weapons. Otherwise, check out some crazy weapons that most people can own.

These very cute keychains are actually deadly self-defense weapons. They're used by sticking two fingers through the eyes and stabbing somebody with the cat's ears. Legality of owning these varies by state.

It's understandable that California bans the weapon due to annual issues with wildfires spreading around the state. However, it's not considered a weapon under federal law, so people can purchase and use freely.

Individuals from California, Massachusetts, and New York can't complete their dream of killing people while wearing a Mary Poppins costume because these weapons can't be delivered in those areas. When closed, it's impossible to know that there's a sword under there, even with the unique handle.
