From my understanding, the reason most states allow them is largely because they're very useful tools in certain fields of construction, particularly for melting tar.

If I'm mistaken, or if they also have other legitimate uses, feel free to correct me or add additional information..

They are also very useful for controlled burns.

The most important thing is that nobody is using them maliciously so there is no incentive to ban them.

and the reason that there are no bad guys with flamethrowers is that they're terrified of good guys with flamethrowers
