I think it's illegal to buy explosives, could be wrong however.

I was just reading an article about mass killings in the US. They've been on the decline since 2000 (after a steady increase from the 60s through the 90s). Mass killings in the US peaked in the 1920s.

No, not really! Ban ALL guns. That will prevent gun deaths.

A former neighbor "recalls". I wouldn't take that as a verified source and then go making assumptions based on that.

Yes, and it was dynamite that was used in that bombing.

Haven't seen any dynamite school bombings since...

Yes..................that right there shows me you don't know anything about shotguns. Most all hunting shotguns (Browning, Remington, Benelli) for migratory bird hunting are semi-automatic.

I guess not, because your post is meaningless to me.

I suggest that you retreat to the basement to fondle your guns. You'll feel better.

(PS, I think you mean "drivel." Hard to post something that runs out of a baby's mouth.)

Which is a gross violation of our 2nd Amendment right to own and bear incendiary arms.

I have stated twice on this very thread, to you in particular, that we can't trust links at this point.
