Weapons That Are Against American Law, and Surprising Ones That Aren't

The National Firearms Act of 1934, alongside the Gun Control Act of 1968, structures the legal frameworks for firearm ownership in the United States, resulting in surprisingly few illegal weapons.

Despite the extensive legislation surrounding firearms, a limited range of items is not legal in the U.S., namely nuclear, biological, and chemical weapons, indicating a surprising leniency in weapon ownership.

Privately made firearms, known as 'Ghost Guns,' have surged in popularity due to 3D printing technologies and are currently legal, although tracking and regulation remain challenging for authorities.

Crossbows, tactical batons, and silencers exemplify some less conventional weapons that, under certain conditions, are legally permissible in the U.S. despite their potential for misuse.
