These dangerous weapons require special permits in California

[SecularMotion]

Fully automatic machine guns designed to take out planes during World War II. Short-barreled shotguns like those favored by action movie characters. Grenades, rocket launchers and tear gas.

All are deemed so destructive by the state of California that you need a special permit to possess or sell them.

California has more than 100 active dangerous weapons permits issued in the last five years, newly released records from the Department of Justice’s Bureau of Firearms show. It’s difficult to put the number of permits in context, because some people have multiple permits and the state won’t release application information on denials.

It’s also unclear how many weapons are covered by the permits. A permit holder could have one gun or hundreds.
