And... it's back: The ASSAULT weapons ban

[Matt1970]

Here comes the first of the kneejerk legislation:

None of it would have prevented the shooting. Typical power grab by the gubberment.

And jesus christ, 50% sales tax??

And there it is, every crisis is solved by a good ole' tax.

is that easy to buy bunch black gun power?

btw, nop...you need LOTs of explosives to kill that many...human body is surprising resistent to impacts, since most of the damage is absorved by the muscles...

Yes, it is, and no, it's not. Blowing shit up is what I did in the military. The concussion alone in an enclosed space like a classroom would be enough to kill every person in it from a decent size pipe bomb, not too mention the shrapnel. A pipe bomb is ridiculously easy and cheap to make, some gun powder, canon fuse, and pipe with ends. tape ball bearing, nails, whatever around the outside ...probably a 10m kill zone, severally wounding out to 30m. And if they could get a hold of C4? forget about it, gas expansion at over 25,000fps? Brutal.

Very easy. Can buy 50lb bags of it for cheap. Can even make it from shit and ash.

Hell, a bunch of saw dust could be used to the nearly the same effect. Are you really this ignorant on the destructive power of every day common items that are easy to obtain around you?

And you are stupid to think the human body is capable of surviving a blast of a pipe bomb filled with ball bearings in a small enclosed classroom.

...well, it seem really easy to buy in US indeed... we can't buy it in brazil without militar approval D:

yeah...with ball bearings, make alot more sence LOL

 

[HumblePie]

even in brazil you can make it on your own with common materials found nearby. A bit dangerous to make, but easy enough to do.

also, soaking some fine saw dust in gasoline, and then using a way to disperse it into the air is a massively dangerous way to clear out an area. Fill up a pillow case with it, fling it into a room, toss in a match and hope you live through it. Because anyone in that room likely wont.

South America, specifically Chile and Peru were known for their saltpeter mines. The basis of most old explosives.

 

[schneiderguy]

I think there's only one American company still making the stuff. Most of the others have blown up.

:awe:

i am ok with the guy blowing himself

makes me wonder why crazy dude prefer to use knifes than bombs (when can't find a gun).

maybe is just easier, or not personal enought

Brownell's, world's largest gun parts supplier, has reported they've sold 3.5 years worth of PMAGS (plastic "high" capacity magazines) in just 72 hours. They've sold even more of their own brand. That would be over a 40,000% increase in sales.

So all this gun control talk by politicians and the media is going to put far more "high" capacity magazines on the streets than if they had done nothing.

Yup, and how ironic.

Oh come on, we all know that people hell bent on killing a bunch of people and then killing themselves will think twice when they see how much ammo costs!!

We are talking about 6 and 7 year old bodies. A pipe bomb full of ball bearings will wreck hell on every kid in the classroom.

Alot of the gun control guys have confidence issues.

I trust my judgement. I would imagine people who don't trust their own judgement would be scared to own a gun. They just can't get over it. There are plenty of people who don't like guns and just don't own guns and keep to themselves.
