    Senator Lautenberg to Introduce Legislation Requiring Background Checks for Sale of Powder


    ... "'It is outrageous that anyone, even a known terrorist, can walk into a store in America and buy explosives without any questions asked,' Lautenberg said in a statement earlier today. 'If we are serious about public safety, we must put these common-sense safeguards in place. While the police have not revealed what specific explosive materials were used in Boston, what we do know is that explosive powder is too easy to anonymously purchase across the country.'" ...

    I've been told that ANFO is a pretty potent explosive, and the components are readily available. We should push for background checks on the purchase of said components.

    And after that....

    Propane?

    Road flares?

    Gasoline?

    Kerosene?

    Welding gas?

    Silly you, dont you know these items have practical purposes and improve society and keep the children safe and warm.
    Powder on the other hand is only for making bombs that kill and dismember large amounts of children and puppies.
    This common sense legislation will save lives. 98.9% of Americans agree that if powder is strictly regulated the mentally unstable and right wing radicals will seek help before trying to create IED's.

    This is common sense, will save lives, its for the children, if we can save just one life.

    Oh and kittens, they get killed by bombs too. Save the kitties.

    Don't forget fertilizer.

    anyone can get small amounts of fertilizer used for explosives but to get any large amount you have to be licenced by the state of maryland and you have to take a class and pass a test and for ammonium nitrate or urea when you purchase in bulk you have to be KNOWN by the bulk dealer and by being known they mean they have to have your license number and all your personal info and they keep records for the state to look over and check. between that and your chemical license and your nutrient management plan requirements they have taken most of the fun out of farming.
