The MSWP that comes out of Georgia you know the Russian one can do it using a .338

And all of these rifles, while capable of engaging targets at that range, are not capable of setting off tannerite at that range. At the yardage YOU seem to be concerned about. Cuz terrorism. Never mind the fact that having a rifle capable of reaching out that far doesn't make you capable of hitting jack squat at that range. Did you ever have to factor coriolus effect when dialing up your dope?

If you throw a rock, is it travelling just as fast when it hits the ground as it is when it leaves your hand?

Starting to have a hard time believing our military put a rifle in your hands.

The Russians and Chinese have weapons that can hit from 2000 at a high muzzle velocity.

You can sit there and say, that some terrorist or someone that's angry and wants to do harm can't get a hold of theses weapons, but we see a lot of Chinese and other national armory weapons showing up due to the US' complete incompetence in securing their ports and borders.

That's a complete separate issue.

You should google the California senator who was smuggling in everything from AKs to RPGs. Same guy who lobbied to have firearms banned in California.

Clean up your own backyard before worrying about mine.

Again calm down, go back to the video where they were blowing up 100, 150 and 164 pounds of that stuff.

20 or 30 or 40 pounds of that stuff in a public place would be bad news.

You say that there haven't been terrorist events, but I showed two stories where this material was a component in their plans. If they're thinking of it, so are other people who probably have a higher IQ then these people.

You can't say that they're effectively limiting access to it when we have people blowing up houses and cars and pigs with this material and not in 1 or 10 pound lots but in 50 100 and 160 pound lots, and clearly nobody is knocking on their doors asking them why they're buying so much.

Surely you as an intelligent human being can see the problem here.

And surely you can see, how I have pointed out, that people who know far, far more about this sort of thing have determined it's ok for civilian use, so far as a set of conditions are met at the time of purchase.

What burns me up is a segment of the population thinks we need to ban chicken because you could choke on the bones. So what? If it becomes an issue, then the law changes.

I wonder if Paris and Brussels were carried out with tannerite, or there is a guy who knows how to mix commonly available products in proportions that make bang bang. Legislate that good sir.
