You can buy all the Tannerite you want in almost every state as far as I know. If you want to blow something up, it's really no problem.
Makes nice big explosions when shot with most rifles. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tannerite |

I said I wanted to go to a bomb store to buy bombs and grenades.
You came back with an "obvious" link for purchasing ammonium nitrate, a link you apparently did not bother to check out because it was for Australia, and then the one you summoned for the U.S. talked about authorized and licensed personnel.

You're also missing the point: I want a bomb that can be easily carried and/or thrown (for women and seniors who also want to have fun but don't lift heavy in the gym like Cain). Preferably I want to buy my bomb at a local bomb store. There are several gun shops within driving distance of me. I only similar kinds of bomb shops. With choices. Options. I am however absolutely dead-set against any bomb store that adopts a variation on the saying, "we're the bomb!" |

Non liquid forms of ammonium nitrate are highly regulated in Australia. I need an ASIO clearance to even purchase it in the granulated form. And then I need to provide lots of information about how it's stored, who has access to it yada yada yada.
Most hydroponic industries moved to liquid forms or just went to other chemistry. |

Have never understood the American obsession with their "right" to bear arms.
Been there several times and everyone just has human arms. |

I think the main point about owning your own tank is that you would never need to worry about other bad drivers again ...

Because you're not the Alaskan State Police.................
You'd need to comply with relevant laws regarding the tracks, register the cannon (and other weapons) and ammunition. Actually most tanks from "sketchy Russian dudes" would have Soviet 125mm guns (or earlier). |

The MoD has some Type 22 Frigates up for sale if you wish to put in a bid.

Actually, these responses are quite good. Apparently the fact one can theoretically own a tank (or obtain ammonium nitrate) is enough. I guess it's OK to tax firearms so they cost the same as the going rate for a tank. If somebody complains that such taxes make weaponry accessible only to the rich, tell them life is not fair. Just make more money. Impose licensing restrictions on guns not unlike those seen for explosives. Whiners can be directed to this thread (and Google).

Of course you should. Tanks don't kill people, people kill people.

Too large, too great an effect from individual shells fired, insufficient control of fire from MG(s), insufficient visual for individual fire.................... This is a job for either Special Tactics units or basic infantry. Or police, or someone trained to use their weapon effectively.

Well excuse me because I can't tell the difference between your irony (not allowed to call it trolling) and everything else you post.
You left something out

I don't think it's difficult to see the sarcasm once you know it's there, but yeah, way to take personal responsibility: it's my fault. It's my fault that you falsely accused me of moving the goal posts even though I don't see how that's possible considering I've been consistent throughout...

You have been posting frequently on threads related to the recent shooting. But it seems many of those posts are there to provoke an emotional response or disrupt the discussion and contain claims that no rational person would believe. It is in this way that you are consistent. You are building your own jail with your sad posts; hope you enjoy the view from inside.

I know. Satire has a long and ignoble history, one that reached a low point with Swift -- under the cover of anonymity -- proposed the Irish sell their babies. It's like he just wanted to provoke an emotional reaction rather than critical thought. And if this board is about anything, as your posts testify, it's critical thought.

Hate to be argumentative, but even if you limit it to the US, there are people making bombs (with acid bombs the most normal) every day (in the practical meaning of the phrase). And, with materials most anyone can get it is quite possible and not at all dangerous to the reasonably careful maker) to make many types of destructive toys. As well as initiators fro same - and my knowledge of it just from applying simple chemistry and physics to materials science is comparatively small - to those who spend real time on it.
It is possible that I misinterpret because for some reason I can't see Cain's posts on my computer other than what someone quotes of them, but..... ![]() |

Travis you are correct on one point. If a gun is ok then so should a tank
However on the second point you simply think too small. What about a battleship? Fight aliens and everything. |
