Kyle Schwarber: World Series hero, Beefy Lad, better than you.

Illegal Hen
A bill has been introduced in the House regarding the classification of flamethrower. Rep. Elliot Engel of New York introduced the bill in November to legally regard flamethrower in the same manner as machine guns, meaning criminal penalties, the process to get one, etc would be identical.

On rare occasions Congress can be pretty awesome.

https://www.congress.gov/bill/114th-congress/house-bill/4009/amendments.


Would love to see the debate on this one if the bill gains any traction.

Not that I support it, mind you.

I think we should all have access to flamethrowers.

Is there some kind of problem with flamethrowers? Like there's a dozen flamethrowerings a day at the mall or school or whatever? Goddamn the price of flamethrowers is gonna be through the stratosphere.

flamethrowers really are not all that reliable, they're messy because they constantly leak, and the range fluctuates.

if you want to set something on fire just use regular incendiary rounds.

Not in this Congress. They're still pissed at the states like New York and Connecticut putting their firearm ban laws that they'll table this just to spite them.

I did not know that napalm was actually something you could buy. I knew flamethrowers could be bought for civilian use, but I assumed that it was just the propane flamers, since it's just a fireball from gas combustion and not jellied stuff that can stick to women and kids, and not actually something that spat out napalm.


Oh woah, that's some ballsy maneuver there. Gotta be confident that the propulsion keeps that gout of flame up and not falling little bits of flaming jelly.

There's a reason why there's been 5 Death Wish movies but only 2 Exterminator films. A vigilante with a flamethrower is impressive but he's obviously not hiding that poo poo anywhere like a gun.

What's wrong with using a flamethrower to hunt so you can provide food for your family?

Flamethrowers have legitimate agricultural applications, and there are many laws governing arson, and precisely zero spree killings have ever been committed with flamethrowers(outside of war), and video games are not real life.

This is a colossal waste of time and money.

No but you see they're weapons and only republicans like weapons

Now if you excuse me I'm going to read the anarchist's cookbook and make some stupid retarded chemical concoction to hurt people that doesn't really count as a weapon because it's made out of household components you see, I can't break laws if the laws don't exist governing chlorox!

In the early 1950s, Norway developed its own napalm, based on fatty acids in whale oil. The reason for this development was that the American-produced thickening agent performed rather poorly in the cold Norwegian climate. The product was known as Northick 11II.
