Brass knuckles

I recently read a book in order to get a concealed permit. I reda a paragraph that threw me off a little bit.
"It is also illegal for any person who deals in weapons (any type of weapons -- not just federally licensed firearms dealers) to sell a dirk, Bowie knife, brass nuckles, electric weapon, or slugshot (ie: a flexible handled weapon with a weight on the end used for striking) to anyone UNDER the age of 18 years -- even with their parents permission. However, it is legal for the parent to purchase such a weapon, and then give it to the child as a gift."
Okay, now with that being out of the way. My question to you is, are brass knuckle legal to carry and/or even have?
I always thought they were illegal to even have.

That leads me to inquire as to the intended use of these brass knuckles. This will open another can of worms.
In short, and in this case, state law supercedes Federal law.
Whyncha just get a bunch of adults together in hoods and sheets and lynch the battard?
People in my area sell them as "brass belt buckles"...remove one screw and you've got yourself brass knuckles.
In my area, they call them "paper weights".
Thanks !!!
