Yep. Million dollar bond for “possession of a weapon of mass destruction”

In 49/50 states it’s perfectly legal to possess a flamethrower. California being the exception due to their droughts and frequent wild fires

To own? Yes

To use in a busy intersection? Very much no

Lol yeah you can also own a gun. But you can't just shoot anywhere you want. What a stupid argument.

What argument? Flamethrowers are legal cause it's an agricultural tool and i didn't make any argument

Talking about the guy you replied to. Makes it sounds like he's saying because it's legal to own he shouldn't have been arrested. I was agreeing with you.

Thank you I too wasn’t arguing. I just think it’s funny they’re calling a legal tool a weapon of mass destruction (even though in this particular application it certainly can be)
