AMERICANS BUYING FLAMETHROWERS

Surprisingly, there are no current federal regulations on the possession, manufacture, sale, or use of flamethrowers. (Oopsie!) Two companies are now selling the first commercially available flamethrowers in the United States. But the prospect of banning the device has driven an increase in sales. Chris Byars, the CEO of the Ion Productions Team in Troy, Michigan, says business is skyrocketing higher than ever due to the discussion on prohibition. He says, “I’m a huge supporter of personal freedom and personal responsibility. Own whatever you like, unless you use it in a manner that is harmful to another or other’s property. We’ve received a large amount of support from police, fire, our customers, and interested parties regarding keeping them legal.” Byars added that the company has sold 350 units at $900 each, and that includes shipping. The Ion flame thrower, can shoot fire over 25 feet and has more than 35 seconds of burn time per tank of fuel. Last week, Mayor Jim Fouts of Warren, Michigan – located near the Ion plant – that he was worried about the sale of such devices in his city.
* And that’s why he’s the mayor.
* These things throw more flame than Donald Trump.
* Explain to me a way you can use a flamethrower that is not harmful to another or another’s property.
* I would like to question the statement that firefighters support the personal ownership of flamethrowers.
* Unless fighting fire with fire has become a real thing.
* I tell you what: They’re still the best way out there to light a barbecue.
* In fact you can toss the steak in the air and grill it before it hits the ground.
* Now we need three-foot-round marshmallows.
* Great, half the west is burning down with forest fires, and they want to sell flamethrowers.
* The flames shoot 25 feet? That’s not even enough to take down a drone.
* Maybe that’s the next step: drones that shoot flames.
