The Mayor of Warren in Michigan, Jim Fouts, wants to see the fires from flamethrowers put out in his city for good.
"This is something that is so potentially dangerous that it's just
unacceptable," he says. He's supporting a proposed ordinance that would
ban the storage, possession and use of flamethrowers in Warren.
Exceptions include law enforcement and armed forces. Violations would be a misdemeanor with up to 90 days in jail, a $500 fine or both. Fouts says he's not opposed to the right to bear arms.
However, he's against people being able to buy flamethrowers without
anything to prohibit the sale to minors or those with criminal records.
Warren city council discussed the proposed ordinance last week, but
there's no date set on when the proposed ordinance could go up for a
vote.
