I have several questions:

Why does someone charged with using WMD get a chance at bail?

Why can one buy a WMD for 700$? Is it legal to buy but illegal to use? What's the trick here?

For that amount of money you could almost get a machine gun. A shitty Mac-10, sure, but a legit NFA MG.

Wrong, a transferable MAC-10 is at least $10000.

If you have a special occupancy license from being a cop or whatever you can buy "dealer samples" for cheap like 5000.

Here's a semi for that price.

I don't think you're going to get a NFA Mac-10 for under 10k.

Here's one for 12k

you can buy a "flame weeder" for $200 and you can modify them to shooter father/be more portable. I met a guy at a gunshow selling flamethrower AR barrell attachments. Greatest country in the world! :marseysaluteusa:

the default should always be let people buy whatever they want and go to jail if you use it for violence/crime :marseyindignant: with only very extreme exceptions like bombs

Our products are designed for personal and commercial use. Flamethrowers are commonly used for:

    Ground clearing or controlled agricultural burns.
    Ice and snow melting/clearing
    Incinerating weeds and other unwanted ground plans.
    Back burns and pre-burn are commonly used by forestry personnel for forest fire containment/prevention.
    Art and pyrography
    Pest control: Destroying nests or burrows of invasive species
    Film production and movie props. (check us out in The Purge, Quarry, Punisher, The Darkest Minds and Burger King commercials)
    Pyrotechnics and fire performance

you are walking the path of spectrum, and you just put another arbitrary limit. by your own logic, surely you can understand why some people desire more things to be put into that category.

I personally think people should be allowed to buy as much fertilizer as they want.

Clearing ground without use of spectricide

We weren't supposed to, but we also used them to bend PVC on solar fields. Faster and easier than using a pipe oven with a generator

You can tell its a charge they don't expect to stick from the fact he is getting bail. If he was found with a van full of nerve gas ready to release then I don't think he'd be getting bail.

WMD in this case means an incendiary or explosive device.

on paper its meant for farm work, destroying hornets nests and stuff like that, it's only illegal in 2 states

Why can one buy a WMD for 700$? Is it legal to buy but illegal to use? What's the trick here?

This is why the call it the trap. :marseyta#bletired2:

Anythings legal if you dont post it to social media get caught

But discharging a firearm in city limits is usually looked down upon and in this case spraying flames randomly near a gas station is likely to terriorize the populace

Honestly doing fire stuff in the woods is likely to be illegal federally....

I think combining open fire with a gas station probably qualifys for a weapon of mass destruction.

So it wouldn't be about the flamethrower per se
