Civilians should only be able to buy hand grenades for self defence, as they are very inaccurate, and everybody having them guarantees MAD. Peace achieved

Tbf, it’s legal in the NFA. You just have tobpay the $200 tax stamp and wait for ATF approval for each one

I am sorry, I really cannot possibly understand why a civilian outside of an active conflict zone can possibly need a grenade? Is that your 4th of July tradition or something?

Honestly I have no idea if this is close to being correct but I feel like grenades are similar enough to dynamite which is (I think-again no actual clue) still used for mining and construction. It’d be more problematic to delineate one as a construction tool and one as a death tool so they keep them all under the same umbrella. Again, this comment is 1000% unfounded guessing.
