    No they aren't raided for buying bleach, they are raided for buying bleach, and everything else you need to make explosives. They are watched closely for a short while then BAM ... off you go to jail.

    If it was left up to me, they'd be FULL auto and NO restrictions.

    The wheat would separate from the chaff pretty damned quick.

    I look at firearms as equalizers. An 80 year old man with a firearm is equal to a young kid. A 90 lb girl with a firearm is equal to a 250 lb would be rapist.

    As disgusting and sad as the deal pulled off by that POS in Colorado is, there are still more people killed in car wrecks every day. You gonna get rid of cars because they KILL PEOPLE? Appears to me that if MORE people had been carrying that night, the kid with the rifle wouldn't have made near as big a splash.

    On a side note, with the proliferation of CCW licenses in this country, the latest FBI crime statistics show a marked decrease in crimes against people in the states that allow it. Go figure.

I don't hear about it though. I don't hear about kids in schools entering into a gun battle to protect themselves. I don't live in your country, only you know if having a gun REALLY protects you, only you know how many instances of protecting oneself with a gun exist. I do apologise for my ignorance. I actually LIKE guns, I've always liked firing guns the first time I fired my first gun, a 7.62 SLR. I'd l'd to blatt off a few rounds, but I can do without it when I compare it to the mass murders we used to have to suffer with.

    All you need to make a high power explosive is bleach and petrol jelly. As stated in another post, I will go crazy if I can't buy either of those things because it is POSSIBLE to make a bomb with them. For this same reason, they could take away stump remover. Can be used to make a smoke bomb, or a very large firecracker. trust me, I have done it.

    Yeah, it makes sense to monitor these sorts of purchases, and fertiliser, etc. We have all suffered too much with terrorist bombings, etc.

    Yeah? Do you get searched? As an ignorant outsider I'm curious to know if the average citizen DOES get the chance to protect themselves often. I sort of visualise a mexican standoff situation all the time, or going to answer the door and thinking "shit, I left the M60 in the toilet..."

    It's all very sad anyway, and that's my last comment...
