Inflammatory commentary about the merits and risks of selling flamethrowers to the masses aside, Fouts questioned the product’s materials testing and overall safety. He brushed aside any assertion that banning a commercially-available handheld flamethrower would infringe on the rights of residents afforded under the Second Amendment.
“This isn’t a constitutional right any more than it’s a constitutional right to have hand grenades,” Fouts said. “You could really get ridiculous. According to the Geneva Convention, I think it’s been outlawed. I can’t see any good coming from a potentially very lethal weapon of mass destruction.” |

TO REMEMBER |
Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed; as they are in almost every kingdom of Europe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the people are armed, and constitute a force superior to any bands of regular troops that can be, on any pretense, raised in the United States. — Noah Webster in "An Examination into the Leading Principles of the Federal Constitution," 1787, in Paul Ford, ed., Pamphlets on the Constitution of the United States, at p. 56 (New York, 1888). |
