DETROIT A suburban Detroit official is trying to extinguish the use of personal flamethrowers, which are being sold online by two Midwest companies, in his city.
The companies, located in the Detroit area and Cleveland, claim their devices can be used for recreation or to control weeds and insect hives, clear snow and ice, clear brush and start a bonfire.
Warren Mayor Jim Fouts calls the proposed uses "pretty specious" and "silly," the Detroit Free Press reported. Fouts wants to ban the storage, use and possession of flamethrowers in Warren because he believes the devices are dangerous and could damage property and cause house fires, injury or death.
"You know something like this will be used by bad people for bad things," Fouts said, adding that he thought it was "unthinkable" such a device would be sold to the general public.

That is cool!
Except with a muzzie space needle in the middle with a raghead on top singing the Ooga Booga Snackbar he likes so much ;)
What good is life without a personal flamethrower?
Try styrofoam.....much cheaper than TIDE.......
That’ll work too!
Always had Tide around. Didn’t always have any Styrofoam.
If Obama had a flame-thrower......
For right now his pen does just fine.
Packing peanuts, coffee cups, packing materials from new equipment, it’s all over the place...............................
Stop, that tickles!
Packing peanuts, coffee cups, packing materials from new equipment, its all over the place.

That was a followup to another reply of mine about using one on my uncle’s farm in early 60’s.
Wasn’t near as much Styrofoam around then.
So is Washington D.C.
Time to "burn the bitch down."
So will they stop selling aerosol cans and matches in Detroit?
Bkmk
Yeah, but you just know the trigger will fail or the sites will fall off after a couple uses.
Everyone knows that you have to make a few additional modifications to Harbor Freight tools to get them to work right. But once you fabricate the new muzzle, pump, tubing, tank, seals, trigger, starter, and connectors, that Harbor Freight knock-off will kick some serious....
Hah! Berry, Nagin and DeBlasio came instantly to mind-they should have warning labels...
They are going to ban them based on the number of drive bys done by them.
Don’t tell that to the gang bangers in Detroit-they’ll find a way, and use it to burn down what is left of the place...
As kids, when my cousins and I drew pear burning from the list of ranch chores, we played war with the things when we got bored, but after a couple of weeks, a cousin got pissed because she wasn’t invited to play and dropped the dime on us-the adults put an end to unsupervised pear burning after that...
Waaaiiittt a minute.
You all don’t think I’m crazy/suicidal enough to actually USE the thing, do you?
Well, other than one or two times. I full view of the neighborhood kids. Just to let them know I have one.
Otherwise it just makes my garage pegboard look that much more awesome by hanging on it.
Can’t you make a poor man’s napalm out of gasoline and liquid dish soap?
