In the same way that an American bombsmith making his own bombs with his kitchen supplies is also circumventing the law

If he holds the proper certifications, than no, he is not 'circumventing the law,' he's doing what he has been legally allowed to do. FWIW, building an explosive device isn't illegal, per say - deploying and/or detonating one above a certain yield (without holding the right certifications) is. To that end, a person can buy impact explosives from a website, needing nothing more than a shipping address and means of payment.

Guns are only designed to kill things. That makes them different from most other things. Unless you recognize that basic truth, then you're not going to have an honest discussion on gun rights and gun regulation.

Something tells me, judging from the obviously false and highly uninformed statements you've made thus far, that "an honest discussion" isn't part of your agenda.

The NRA says that guns don't kill people, people kill people.

And the NRA, for once, is right.

but when was there a case where a dude stabbed 50 people to death?

Here:

During the February 1980 New Mexico State Penitentiary riot, 33 inmates were killed. Most of the dead, 23, lived in the Protective Custody Unit, and were killed by other inmates using knives, axes and being burnt alive

I can also cite at least one case where a determined psycho managed to kill almost 1000 people simultaneously with fucking Kool-Aid.

I keep getting ads for guns, ammo, tannerite and paracetamol! WHY? OH WHY?

Duck Duck Go gave those links when I entered my mood.

One word: Tannerite

In the end the best two plans are to rig it with explosives or do the good old Office Space scene by taking a baseball bat to the office copier in a field.

Tannerite is the way to go. There is nothing more satisfying.

Myself and a couple friends spent an afternoon playing with Tannerite a couple weeks ago:

Proof? It already happened. Man detonates 100lbs of Tannerite, nuclear power plant on alert after blast. Man faces charges for detonating a legal device.

Tannerite is a shooting target. Search youtube for videos of people detonating large amounts of it.

Show's again there's two standards. One for the "In" crowd like mythbusters, then one for the rest of us.

dont laugh...my _favorite_ pass-times are blowing the hell out of hardware.

steps:
1. go here to buy explosives (legally):
2. supply center-fire rifle
3. mix (hardware + tannerite)
4. blow the hell out of it.


enjoy.

Is this hypothetical idiot making nitroglycerin in a packed elevator? Do you have any real idea how much high explosive it takes to cause the kind of mayhem you're envisioning?

You want to see something that will really freak you out?
Go read up on Tannerite. This stuff is loads of fun, 50 state legal, and available over the internet. What you'll find even more amazing is that as far as I know, not a single person has died from it's use.

http://www.tannerite.com/ FTW!! its legal in most states, but i wouldn't try it behind enemy lines (Cali, MD, and others)
sportsman guide has good targets too....

!!! just stand back !!!

altho being half close is fun, there is nothing like a good blast wave. just be careful it can stop your heart and screw you bad....

oo wait wheren't we talking about lab/shop??
a garage + basic metal tools + plans for simple 3 axis CNC + linux box = greatest summer project/lab ever, and then money maker. just wish i had the garage or room :-(

Well, you can for $1295 in Oregon, and the price includes transportation, meals and all the high-order explosives!

Given the choice between an AK-47 clone and a 30 round magazine and a pump shotgun in 12 gauge with 5 shots you wanna know which one sits by my bed? The shotgun. Hands down.

You got it man. Under my bed? Winchester 1300 SWAT model, folding stock, 18" bbl, 8 shot, loaded with 00 Buck, with an M3 Tac light on it, attached to a sling bandolier with 12 more 00 Bucks and 6 rifled slugs for the obstinate types.

Plus a gun trained 180 pound bloodhound (Flop) who can smell a non-familiar person half a mile away.

Did you know FN makes those Winchesters now? Identical to their own...half the price. Got an FN Five Seven too, in my collection if I really want to have some fun at the range.

You might like this site. I got a case of 200 of these downstairs all ready for spring. A single 1 pound target will blow a van to bits.

And women too. My wife carries a Glock 27 (.40 S&W) and is probably a better shot than I am. (Well maaaaaaybe....)
