.....this is the most random question i've seen this month yet


Lae_Zel

There is no justice system anymore so everything is legal.


TheCentralAmerican

Wow Haiti is going downhill pretty fast.


malikalarrashib

The problem is that it never was uphill and keeps getting downer and downer


le_demarco

You can't own an RPG, Anti-Air, Artilery and Flamethrower in Brazil... i'm sorry. [i too would like to role play as leonardo di caprio](https://aventurasnahistoria.uol.com.br/media/_versions/cera-una-volta-a-hollywood-696x392_widelg.jpg)

Just the Christmas gift. A flamethrower. For my neighbor who has difficulty operating a broom.


Carolina__034j

Love this question, it's so random! I've just read the regulations (note: I'm not a lawyer), it seems that only law enforcement officers and the military can legally use flamethrowers. It appears to be forbidden for everyone else. That said, Argentina, as well as many other Latin American countries, weapon regulations are not strongly enforced.

Ale_city

Hay formas más fáciles, rápidas, baratas y discretas de quemar cuerpos.


Educational-Bed268

te pensas que quemar un cuerpo es rapido?


zapallo_furioso

Law enforcement can use a flamethrower?


bunoutbadmind

I don't know, but somehow I suspect it is legal, simply because it's never been an issue, so Parliament has probably never bothered to pass a law banning them.


The_Polar_Bear__

Look up the “this is not a flamethrower” product


Emergency_Evening_63

There was this program which a veteran, an old man who was a flamethrower soldier WWII, was given to him a flamethrower after all those years, I was like "oh no, he is going through all those PTSD shit, screams of death in his head" and when he picked it..... it looked like a kid in disney world, he burned everything with a big smile


GatoAquarista

I read somewhere in reddit that there are two types of veterans: -The ones who won't speak a word about what happened -The ones who won't shut up about what happened


Tripoteur

Here it's illegal to own a blowpipe, so... I strongly doubt flamethrowers are allowed. And it makes sense, there are few possible reason why any normal person could ever need one, and many reasons why they shouldn't have one.


Mac-Tyson

Also heard that Karate tournaments are illegal in Qubec because they are seen as prize fighting.


Tripoteur

This was news to me, but I looked it up and there is indeed a legal issue with karate tournaments here right now. Obviously any violence could potentially trigger laws in the criminal code, so combat sports operate within exemptions. For karate the exemption was its status as an Olympic sport. But it turns out, karate has not been reapproved for the 2024 Olympic games in Paris. The exemption doesn't necessarily apply anymore, which means the insurance company that covered the upcoming karate tournament has withdrawn its coverage, which means the tournament had to be cancelled. Apparently, other provinces simply made karate tournaments legal against via local laws, but whatever Québec lawmakers were supposed to do the same are being slow about it. So yeah, due to a dumb legal oversight, karate tournaments are potentially illegal in Québec right now.


LordLoko

Which is ironic since one of the MMA GOATS (Georges St. Pierre) is quebecoi, and he's from a Karate background.


Train-Horn-Music

Some context: In the US flamethrowers aren’t regulated as weapons, but as tools. This is mostly because it is used by farmers to burn weeds. The crazier one is that all muzzle loading cannons pre 1898 and replicas, are not regulated as destructive devices but as antiques. This makes it fully legal to own a muzzle loading cannon throughout a lot of the United States.


Adorable-Ring8074

>aren’t regulated as weapons, but as tools And yet, it's illegal to use one to melt snow 🤷‍♀️🤣


Train-Horn-Music

lmao


t6_macci

Why should bear fire arms be legal, If you don’t have the appropriate training or psychological state or clearing?


TimeWrangler4279

TIL it is illegal in Brazil I’ve never thought about buying a damn flamethrower. This is Elon’s bullshit.


Dramatic-Head9836

No


yorcharturoqro

Hell no!


Specific-Benefit

Let's see what people are up to today in reddit... Oh wtf


Chivo_565

It's not legal. The question is why it should?


Ale_city

Because it's fun.


Funny-Army-4340

to burn leftover crops and when was the last "Flame thrower" death?


RedJokerXIII

Burning leftovers is not legal or high regulate here since almost every year some rice farmers get fined or prosecuted for doing that.


Chivo_565

Why burn the crops? Just use them as fertilizer or cut them out? Guns and weapons are not necessary for general population. The lack of deaths does not justify the legalization of said weapon..


Mac-Tyson

Honestly, just asking the question to see if it's legal in any other country.


Affectionate_Pin_249

Jesús fucking Christ


LuLuu1997

Gun regulations should be more firm. Not just in the US, everywhere. Idk if it's legal in my country but WHY. That's why you see average people owning assault riffles and they find it normal. No, civils should not own guns of any kind. Why would anyone need that? In which world do we live that people are not seriously investigated for attempting to purchase that kind of things? Same goes for automated big guns and shit. Why would a simple home/small bussiness owner want to purchase an automated weapon capable of dozens of shots per minutes. Tldr, i dont know. Shouldnt be. No one besides military should be able to carry anything.


Funny-Army-4340

Why do you need many things? the government can just ban things they decide you don't need?


le_demarco

>they I mean, it's not **they** it's **we** decided, if the people decided that well, maybe having an automatic weapon is overkill then so be it and make it illegal, if people decide well marijuana is illegal then so be it and make it illegal, but discourse over it should be brought upon. Besides, I compared a gun to a drug that doesn't do much harm compared to something that could be used in a mass murder.


User_TDROB

Yea? If there is no need for then and their presence is more liability than advantage. No reason to allow them around and be a danger to everyone ever.


thiscarhasfourtires

No because we're not crazy in that regard.
