US and ROK Militaries Executed Largest Ever Joint Firepower Exercise
The strategic messaging to the Kim regime in North Korea continues:
South Korea and the United States performed a joint war simulation on Friday involving live-fire bombings and flights of combat jets in the latest show of joint force against North Korea.
The allies mobilized the biggest-ever number of troops, artillery pieces and military vehicles for this year’s Integrated Firepower Exercise 2015, marking the 70th anniversary of Korea’s liberation from Japan’s colonial rule in 1945.
Under the scenarios of a local attack and all-out aggression by North Korea, the forces fired off K-55 and K-9 self-propelled guns, recoilless guns, and Vulcan automatic cannons at mock enemy camps in a remote drill field in Pocheon, Gyeonggi Province, near the border with North Korea.
A host of KF-16, F-15K and F-4 fighter jets were also flown to bombard mock enemy command facilities, with A-10 Thunderbolt attack aircraft, tanks and machine guns spreading a barrage of shells and rockets. [Yonhap]

Good call, Nomad.
BS no Flameshoters no fire power
Flame war. You in, NRA?

“Handheld flamethrowers — yes, the weapons of war capable of spraying streams of fire 25 feet long for more than 30 seconds — are commercially available in the United States for the first time, for the low, low price of $900 (no background check required).
Sane public officials — concerned about, oh, maybe, arson attacks on gas stations? — want to ban or at least make it very hard for people to get hold of the devices, as California and Maryland have already done.
Which leads to the obvious question: Where are the NRA Second Amendment absolutists?
America’s gun lobby stands mindlessly with those who make and market military-style assault weapons, high-capacity magazines and other efficient killing machines, and against attempts to require background checks for all gun purchases…
…Which is why, in the name of consistency, the NRA and its legislator lemmings must rush to the defense of America’s poor, besieged flamethrower manufacturers. Fire away.”

“A lot of people might think a flamethrower has no self-defense properties, but wait till a gang of hoodlums comes slamming down your door and you’ll be friggin happy you own one” he told the crowd, leading to a 2-minute standing ovation. “Be sure that if every household in America had its own flamethrower at home, crime levels would drop like never before and that’s a fact critics can’t ignore” he concluded.”

Call me cisgender; but “Paintchip” really needs to get a girlfriend…
I’m guessing that anyone motivated enough to save up 900 bucks to buy a flamethrower to go on a killing spree could also save up 50 bucks to buy everything needed down at the plumbing store to go on a killing spree.
Flamethrower availability is a mock crisis… with no perpetrators and no victims.
