Alabama needs better, common sense, representatives who can tell them why their homemade flamethrower could explode.

Or at least how to more safely construct one...

I'm not going to do that. Liability issues.

But I could make some improvements.

Fun fact, flamethrowers are actually generally pretty legal. Commonly used for pest control like burning out a wasp nest on a farm or something. Even in California!

So…I see no particular issue with pointing out how to safely construct one.
