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.” |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
A strong body makes the mind strong. As to the species of exercises, I advise the gun. While this gives moderate exercise to the body, it gives boldness, enterprise, and independence to the mind. Games played with the ball and others of that nature, are too violent for the body and stamp no character on the mind. Let your gun therefore be the constant companion of your walks. — Thomas Jefferson, Encyclopedia of T. Jefferson, 318, Foley, Ed., reissued 1967. |
