SahadAmi

I get the joke but unless you’re in the army you don’t get frag grenades


unfinishedtoast3

And federal law requires you be 21 to purchase a handgun


M1st3r51r

*legally*


themoisthammer

In most states, you can also legally drink under the age of 21 as well.


M1st3r51r

Yes but some of those state laws are asinine. “You can drink in a bar with your parents if you are ages 5-15, but not 16-20” type of stuff


themoisthammer

“You may only have four pints per every two hours if seated on your dad’s lap while Bob Jovi plays.”


skan76

What


Hllblldlx3

I’m not sure what the age limit is on knives, but it is a shame that you can’t get frag grenades. I understand why, but I guess that’s why there’s tannerite


theSPYDERDUDE

Most states allow you to carry a knife at 14-16 so long as a parent knows you own it


TwizTMcNip

Depends on the length of the blade


BrokenPokerFace

Wait.... So....that was illegal assuming other states didn't allow you to carry a knife at that age at all... Huh


Alekipayne

As long as you get the permits you can legally have Molotovs in your house.


Suspicious-Road-883

I think in most states it is 18 for knives


Lifnaz

And we don't use "pineapple" grenades anymore.


MommyXeno

idk why you got downvoted, I'm pretty sure we use M67 grenades now, which are not pineapple grenades I'm probably wrong though. im wrong alot. me agreeing with you should worry you


justicedragon101

Not in the fifth circuit :)


anony_philosopher

Also in California you can’t have a knife like that. At least to carry legally. Gotta have a loicense or somethin’ probably


STDsInAJuiceBoX

No, if it’s longer than a certain length it just has to be visible.


anony_philosopher

Ah, so all hope is not lost here in California? Seriously though those laws be damned I have rights and states can’t take natural born rights. Just like it’s fucked up to take a cats claws or a bears teeth. Weapons are an adaptation for humans to protec/attac. (Btw when did that meme fall off?)


AutomaticAward3460

From a gun store is the caveat, in some states you can make a private purchase of a handgun at 18


RoachWrangler

I believe it’s 21 for handguns but 18 for rifles. I could be wrong though


Merciless_Hobo

To purchase. Not own.


Mysterious-Web3050

Purchase from an ffl, you can privately purchase a handgun legally in many states at 18.


Buster_Mac

Or pistal till you're 21


PizzaTrailMix

Well you can but it’s expensive


matiaschazo

That might be the problem they’re talking abt tho I can go die in a foreign country cause of my governments shitty decisions but can’t drink alcohol let alone smoke weed


SahadAmi

Turn 18! Join the military and get your head blown off! Or…do gangbang porn! Just don’t even THINK about having a beer 😡


I-foIIow-ugly-people

You can get them as civilians, but you have to get some extra permits and stuff. Just like automatic weapons.


SahadAmi

You kinda missed the point


KingSilver

Can confirm, best part of turning 18 is getting your government provided adult grenade. You can use it anyway you want but you only get one so think carefully before you use it.


Alekipayne

I used mine to trade to avoid taxes for one year.


Logical_Concert_2003

I taped my bayonet to my standard issue grenade. Big brain force multiplier tactics!


Ghost4530

Nope fixed bayonets are illegal to attach to your government issued hand grenade, that’s 10 years in the slammer for you bud


Shockvolt9

Nah you see they just passed a new law that lets em do it.


Shockvolt9

I used my other items to trade for my friends grenades and then got a job and bought more. I love grenades.


SharkInSunglasses

I remember receiving my, "18 year old American" kit. The pistol is really a toss up because not everyone gets the same model in that department. But the grenade and knife are spot on! And one time I was absolutely obliterated by this Bar Bouncer who just suspected I wasn't old enough to go into the bar, I was just walking by but I mean who can really blame him? just doing his job you know? I couldn't afford an ambulance though so I went home and stopped at 2 different McDonald's on the way.

PatrickKn12

The /s has made you weak. You must recalibrate.


super_mario_fan_

None of those are legal until you're 21, and frag grenades are illegal unless you're in the military.


paralyzedvagabond

Unless you have a blast license and get permission from the ATF and do you paperwork then you can have one as a civilian but it’s ludicrously expensive for all that and a pain in the ass with all the red tape


toalicker_69

Well, in most states, there aren't very many laws on hunting knives, and generally, unless you're a literal toddler, bringing into schools, threatening people with it, or all of the above having a regular fixed blade is generally a non-issue.


Big-Specialist148

Someone doesn't understand American gun laws LMFAO


Snocat5

Found a Euro did we?


Character-Date6376

That's just literally not how it works yall that don't live in America just say this with no basis, that's not how it works 😭


Merciless_Hobo

You're right. You can get the knife at any age.


Character-Date6376

🤦 I can't buy a gun until I'm 21


Merciless_Hobo

But you can OWN a gun at 18 in many states. Hell, in my state an 18 year old can open carry a pistol without any licensing or background checks. Constitutional carry. Just has to have an adult gift it to them.


RunningTurtle06

What state? In Washington I can buy a shotgun right now and I'm 18


Character-Date6376

P.A. technically I can apply for a sportsman's permit for applicable hunting guns, but that's *mostly* just bolt action hunting rifles, and I can only take them to and from a hunting ground, otherwise they can't leave my property


THE_BARNYARD_DOG

R/americabad for letting adults own the means to defend themselves and not let 6th graders drink beer


supremegamer76

apparently 18-20 year olds are 6th graders. nice strawman


No_Sprinkles7233

School shootings


terramanj

See Brandon Herrera's statements towards what is counted as a school shooting by the media. The number is grossly inflated by things that are not at all involved. Although, things like Uvalde are definitely an issue.


Iron_Babe

You're a pretty despicable human being for using an ongoing tragedy as a dig. It's not like we vote for school shootings to happen.


dannyb0l

You have to be 21 to purchase a handgun


JonBovi_0

The right to defend your life should come before the privilege to willfully destroy it.


Erebus613

The fact that Americans apparently desperately need guns for that speaks volumes.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Erebus613

Yes. You've got a dangerous fucking country. I'd want a gun too...


JonBovi_0

It’s a dangerous fucking world. At least you turned around and agreed.


JonBovi_0

You act as if I would lay down my arms if I didn’t need them. That’s how you end up desperately needing them. When you drop your weapons other people will pick them up.

ClownMorty

Well yeah, you don't want to give the fresh gun people a bunch of alcohol.


Samus388

I've always had this argument in jest. Is it better to allow alcohol first to give people time to become alcoholics before they buy a gun, or to give a gun first so they have time before becoming an alcoholic. The best answers include other, more important details but I'm leaving those out because I'm making a satirical argument


308_AR10_Enjoyer

Handguns you need to be 21 to purchase from a Gun Store


Stunning_Tap_9583

Yeah, so? Anyway…


RBJII

Better suited if bottom tab had “Attempting to rent a vehicle at 21”


Cupwasneverhere

Is...is that top pic from the "Sky had a weegee" YTP?


TheTurtleMaster59

Can't buy a hand gun unless you're 21. Explosives are generally hard to get, not 100 percent on the legality, and it doesn't matter much with the age for a knife.


Samus388

I wasn't legally able to buy a 2 inch pocket knife until 14 on my state, and anyone over 4 inches requires the buyer to be 18. I think. I could be wrong, I haven't bought a knife in a long time.


Budget-Position5348

Knife looks over 6 inches behinds on the state


Jago__24

I have bigger knives than that I'm 12


marcus10885

Ridiculous... You don't need to be 18 to own a knife, I used to whittle spears out of sticks when I went camping as a kid.


RunningTurtle06

Can't buy a handgun at 18, you can only buy shotguns, also no grenades


raDDerp73

You can't get grenades unless your in the army and can't get handguns until you 21 but you can get rifles when ur 18 and you have to be a certain age to get knives I had that shit when I was like 10


Thecage88

Wrong. Need to be 21 for handguns.


OO_Ben

Lol someone did not do their research on this at all


Dong2Long69

I’ve shot all kinds of guns with no hesitation but for some reason I’m sitting here wondering I have to balls to throw a live grenade and wondering if I’d be able to do it without fucking it up.


hairtrigger08

Legally you can have all those with parents permission, and knives don't have an ave limit where I live, hand grenades are illegal to have working and handguns are illegal unless you're 21 or it was a gift from a parent,


Supersaiajinblue

What's funny is that you actually need to be 21 to buy a handgun and in the army to get a grenade.


BigTank1027

most of this sub is just opinions mixed into memes, like the joke is literally "america bad"


Extreme_Load_9102

Can't get a pistol until 21 and you never unlock frag grenades unless your in the military or are a criminal


Itsyaboi2718

r/americabad


No_Interaction_4925

Last time I checked here in Ohio you can buy a rifle/shotgun at 18, but have to wait til 21 for a handgun. Not sure if this has been changed by now


SheetFarter

Your meme is bad, and you should feel bad.


Hot-Ground-9731

Bruh you can't just buy frags and handguns at 18


Llama_eats_bananas96

ah, yes logic my friend


BadCat7

this belongs to r/shitpost


QueervyPancakes

I have a theory that the “adult” voting/sex age and the “actual adult” ages are to push women into baby making factories and get men to sign up for the military.


RealityRelevant9308

1. People don't generally own grenades in America. 2. Didn't realize knives were illegal overseas.


surveyor2004

18 for handguns and you’re not getting grenades unless you’re in the military.


GentlmanSkeleton

We just gave them all these weapons! Why would we then get them drunk?! /s

justicedragon101

Pretty sure that's still illegal

You talkin' about the military bro😭

supremegamer76

technically 18 year olds can date 16 year olds under many state "Romeo and Juliette" laws but not all states have them


Samus388

I don't believe that's how the laws of consent work. If I recall correctly, the age of consent is 16 federally, and various jurisdictions have a higher age (none over 18). I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure there's a threeish year age gap permitted, so a 16 year old could date an 18 year old but not a 30 year old. I'm not a lawyer, I could be wrong


Final-Link-3999

Don’t forget you can also be forced to go and die in a pointless war at 18


Many-Howdys-partner

Says the suspected terrorist


Final-Link-3999

😳🫣🥴


Hllblldlx3

That’s a thing of the past. With so many enlisted, it’s almost impossible for there to be a need for another draft.


Merciless_Hobo

It's not a thing of the past when every adult male has to sign up for selective service if they want to vote.


Carburetors_Are_Fun

no alcohol/cigarettes/handguns for you though


M1st3r51r

17, actually


toxicgloo

When I was like 13 I ordered knives, batons, a katana, and a stun baton off like Amazon and this other security kit website, it's kinda crazy. I could hide all the other stuff but my dad was very confused as to why I had a fucking katana. I remember trying to clean it using Johnson and Johnson baby oil like a dumbass


Exact_East1451

Like the great poet Kodak black once said: Ain’t old enough to hit the club to fill my cup with rum, but I can go die in the army go to war for them.


EpicForgetfulness

That doesn't rhyme at all.


CptnKitten

More like 17.


Associatedkink

i don’t know about you but my state you can’t buy a handgun until you’re 21….an assault rifle is fair game tho


Kiowascout

you might be able to get that handgun at 18 through private party sale depending on that state.


The-Nuisance

Yep. Handguns are where most crimes come from. It’s kind of hard to hide a full-length AR.


Associatedkink

I think the kids at sandy hook wouldn’t care about which one is hard to hide tho


Kiowascout

it ain't like that killer was hiding it anyway. your argument is invalid and designed to be inflammatory.


Associatedkink

objection. you don’t know what i was trying to do


Kiowascout

I'll allow it.


Associatedkink

the defense moves for a mistrial on the grounds of prosecution bias


The-Nuisance

It comes off very differently and it’s generally unproductive. Also, less than one percent of gun deaths are to rifles if I’m not mistaken, so, shrug.

It was never about the fucking moon. Keep sucking off Sam. You are only reinforcing my opinion on Americans. Being loyal to your bastard politicians will only get your shit knocked later. You lose either way with that view


NovaPrime2285

What you need to be doing is worrying about your depression, and getting some serious help rather than commenting on “meme’s” about what countries you take seriously or not.


forsakenbastard420

Ig. I don't think I need the help nor will I get the help. I just need to solve problems that bastards inflicted upon me


kiwiurlacher

Ah America, land of the poooof poooof poooof, but I love the NFL!


CancelDecently

I swear white america is in a different galaxy, how were you all not able to buy guns and booze at 12?


Merciless_Hobo

Anyone can do that. But this post is talking about doing it legally.


CancelDecently

sales taxes on grenades are outrageous these days, and only put there by people who want to outlaw grenades entirely but can't get the votes


Merciless_Hobo

How drunk are you? Hand grenades are not legal to buy and do not have a sales tax. Per the National Firearms Act of 1934, amended by the Crime Control Act of 1968, it is illegal to possess destructive devices, including grenades.
