No matter which side you stand on in the gun debate, it's pretty well known a whole host of weapons exists in America.
And for some, like flamethrowers or knife-point sharp Wild Kat Keychains, you can hardly believe they're legal — at least in most states.
We've rounded up the best of the best, or the most dangerous of the dangerous, depending on your point of view.
While many of these weapons are banned in at least a few states, for the most part they're fair game.
Of course, we're not advocating you actually use any of these weapons.
Chain Whips
Chain whips are banned in California, Maryland, and New York, according to this website, which sells the weapon.
Deadliest feature: The serrated metal links could slice someone open when they're hit with the whip, according to an article in the entertainment site UGO, which gave us ideas for several of the legal deadly weapons.
Wild Kat Keychain
While the group Individual Defensive Tactics says the keychain is legal in most states, you should probably check with your local police department.
Deadliest feature: They might look cute but those ears are sharp. You just stick your hands in the eyes and stab.
Homemade guns
Homemade guns are legal as long as the gun maker doesn't sell the gun and isn't prohibited from owning a gun, according to the ATF.
Deadliest feature: They can be unpredictable.
