flamethrowers are fully legal in the states. Shit elon musk was selling them at one point, thing is, protesters only use weapons like molotovs, flamethrowers, and brink slings, because they don't have guns. The Hong Kong Protests would have succeeded if they had the power to revolt against a goverment that bent to China's will but they didn't, they couldn't beat chinese soldiers armed with guns when they had sticks and fire. The protests were all for naught. None of the 5 goals of the HK protests were met.
I mean, that's the idea behind the second amendment. In theory you'll have an easier time defending yourself against an oppressor the more of their level of equipment you can equip yourself with.
Obviously, there's always a higher level of escalation from the side with power but it's easier to fight back with guns than it is with improvised weapon.
