There are a few different types of flares.. "star clusters" are used for signaling, whereas what you're thinking of are parachute illumination flares.
The 40mm flares which are used in the M79, M203, and M320 grenade launchers will be particularly difficult to obtain. 40mm grenade launchers are classed by the BATFE as a destructive device, and require paperwork similar to the paperwork to legally obtain a transferrable machine gun. On top of this, many states which allow NFA Category II firearms (machine guns, short barreled rifles, suppressors, AOWs) will not permit the transfer of destructive devices to civilians.
Same story which parachute flares intended to be fired from mortars, field artillery pieces, etc.
However, 37mm dedicated flare launchers - intended to be replicas of the M79 and M203 grenade launchers - are available to the general public.
As for the older "Flare, Hand Held Illumination" (given a nickname inappropriate to be posted on this website), it may be possible to find them at military surplus stores and the like, although not particularly likely.

What did one fish in a tank say to the other fish in the tank?
"I'm not sure how to drive this thing, but you can shoot the gun if you want."(Joke refers to 'tank' meaning a tracked military vehicle as well as an aquarium. That they are living out of water and can reach the controls seems a little fishy.)---Another answer to the same riddle, in the same vein:"You man the guns. I'll drive."
In act 2 juliet says I have no joy of this contract?
Juliet does not say this at all. She says "I have no joy of this contract tonight." That is completely different. She is talking about herself, and you would have her talking about Romeo. Does that make a difference? Of course it does. Do you remember this conversation between Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck? Elmer Fudd is on the point of shooting Bugs because it is wabbit season: Bugs: Ya got me dead to rights, doc. Do you want to shoot me now or wait 'till you get home? Daffy: Shoot him now! Shoot him now! Bugs: You keep out of this--he doesn't have to shoot you now! Daffy: Well, I say that he does have to shoot me now! So shoot me now! So of course Elmer shoots Daffy. It's a good idea to get straight about the difference between "you" and "I" In this case, Juliet is worried that things are moving too fast: it is "too rash, too unadvised, too sudden." She is very happy that Romeo loves her but she is not totally happy at their becoming engaged within a few hours of meeting.
