It goes to intent. You really should educate yourself to all the efforts that federal and state governments have made to prevent another similar event. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know what's so hard to understand about my position, other than it's not what you want to hear. Maybe I should ask you what part of the constitution you would like to see violated.

That wasn't the question. We're talking about regulation of weapons, right? Should the federal/state governments be able to step in prior to 'the act' as you put it?

If these weapons *shouldn't* be regulated because anyone can make them from their precursor components, as you two seem to be implying, then when *should* law enforcement be able to step in?

When they can do so without violation of the constitution, without passing useless laws that do more harm than good, and without total authoritarian government intrusions. You could outlaw fertilizer, but fertilizer feeds the world and the terrorists would just use an alternative method. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The truth is you can't and any attempt to do so would only harm people with legitimate use of fertilizer, and prevent zero acts of terror. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
