In most jurisdictions, you won't be able to burn your house down due to the threat you pose to other houses around you. Ditto for your car.
That's not the reason for flag burning laws. They don't try to pass those laws because of the risk you pose by setting something on fire. It's a speech issue only. To the politicians, and some misguided citizens, it's simply a way to control morality -- something this country is very fond of doing.
