Also: Which 2 states are the sane ones where this would be illegal?

Edit: California and Maryland. And you can have one in California, if you get a special permit.

Because. Also, flamethrower aren't considered weapons by the government, so the only states that limits you from buying one is California and Ohio and Maryland banned them.

Considered firearms.

No they're not. The ATF does not consider flamethrower a firearm and there exists no country wide law about flamethrower, and by law, even a felon can own a fully working flamethrower.

Right. I'm saying that you wanted to use the term "firearm", not "weapon".
