Why should they be illegal? Anyone can whack one together with $100 in parts anyway. I wouldn't choose to own one and if I saw someone carrying one I would give then a wide berth but I don't believe everything that makes me nervous should be outlawed.
It's basically a big ditch burner.
- FLUX-YOU 9y ago>It's basically a big ditch burner. Surely you don't need a 50 foot range to start a fire.
- saulrh 9y agoI dunno, have you ever seen someone decide to burn a really dry christmas tree? If I'm lighting a big bonfire I'd definitely prefer to have as much distance as possible between me and the fire.
- majewsky 9y agoWhy would you burn it? At least where I live, old christmas trees are handled by the regular trash collection.
- candiodari 9y agoPlus there are some people who believe that to light a christmas tree after christmas, that this can in fact be accomplished using a flame slightly shorter than 50 feet. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MeiSDF83mXo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MeiSDF83mXo
- coryfklein 9y agoMy experience watching Hollywood films tells me flamethrowers are a more effective tool at killing/maiming large groups of people than traditional firearms, so I expected them to be outlawed for the same reason you can't buy hand grenades or rocket launchers at Walmart. Of course, now that I know they are legal I have decent reason to believe that Hollywood's propensity for exaggeration didn't end with their use of flame throwers.
