Weird I didn’t know flamethrowers were legal – this is considered a weapon right. Here is the source http://www.cracked.com/article_17016_7-items-you-wont-believe-are-actually-legal.html
That pesky 1st Amendment makes it pretty difficult for the government to ban a book just because it has instructions for baking Pyrex explosives and crippling the drive system of an M1 Abrams.
So, until Ted Turner finally snaps, mounts a GE Minigun on his golden H2 and guns down a muffin kiosk, you can expect the 11 or so miniguns on the market to remain legal.
I'm avoiding reading the comments, since I would rather laugh than pull my hair out.
Actually it is maintenance equipment for burning shrubs and what not. It was used for clearing bunkers in WWII, but in reality it is not really a weapon. Sure it could be used as one, but so could most maintenance equipment. I mean a chainsaw on a pole (used for trimming tree branches) could easily be used as a weapon, and if they used those to clear bunkers in WWII we might see them that way too.Weird I didn’t know flamethrowers were legal – this is considered a weapon right.
erict: said:I had a propane torch that threw flames out about 5'. We used it for rubberoid roofing on flat roofs of businesses and apartments. I'll bet with a larger orifice and a modified check valve you could get it to do a whole lot more.
First of all, because a gun with an unrifled barrel is only accurate to a few inches. Since most professionally manufactured firearms are legal in the USA, banning homemade ones doesn't make much sense. Neither China, the gun-control capital of the world, nor Russia have been able to stop their dissident populations from building their own firearms. Since you can literally build a gun out of the contents of a trash bin, any laws made to stop self-made firearms would be almost unenforceable.
