Oh really? Please do explain this, because I'd very much like to know the difference between a homemade flamethrower and say, building your own hotrod. Or using power tools?

There's room for user error in pretty much everything we build/use. Why is a flamethrower so much different and automatically sent to 'that's stupid' status? A tablesaw can be just as dangerous.

. . .because its primary function is that of a weapon.

At least that's probably what he meant, I assume.

That doesn't make any sense though. 'Assuming' that's the case, he might as well call a howitzer stupid. Or a tank, a mine, or any gun as well.

A flamethrower could be quite useful. For instance:

Start that pipe that just won't lite.
Ultra Portable BBQ.
Fireworks replacement for the 4th.
Tired of weeding the garden? Try this.
And then there's the ever popular burn-job for your car.

And, lest I forget, just the everyday good ol' strip of flame to wow the neighbors. I want one. :)

If you built a homemade Howitzer, land mine, or tank, you're stupid.

Dear TRF,

Sorry, but this has to be the most mind-blowingly stupid thing I've ever seen. Most tanks, mines and guns aren't made by obese virgins that post on SA.com. And I wouldn't want some idiot fucking around with any of the above in his mom's backyard either.

My advice to anyone who actually defends this sort of ass-clown bullshit -- I'm looking at you, "s'Il" -- is to stop posting on the internet, go outside, and get a life that doesn't involve making assault weapons in your parent's basement from shit you bought at the Home Depot. Thanks.

Love,
Chris

And so again I ask you, why is it stupid?

edit - lol, I'm an ass-clown bullshitter. That's cute. Dude, don't take whatever insecurities you have out on me just because I have a different opinion than you. Let's not get into semantics and whatnot about eachother's lives. This is the internet, remember?

Guns are designed with one purpose in mind . . .to kill folk.

Therein lies the stupidity.
