Dumbest Protest Signs

[Lt. Fred]

Interestingly, there are quite substantial restrictions (and rightly so) on bomb equipment like ammonium nitrate in Australia. Are there similar restrictions in the US?

Farmers have to go through some serious pains in the ass to get fertilizer in bulk from what I know, so yeah. Unless you know a farmer who passed chemistry with a preference for craters.

Kinda ruins the gunners' argument, doesn't it?

If it was that easy to make the extremes of each side shut up...

Also it appears prior to the Boston marathon fundies were protesting it. I wonder if they feel bad about this one:

Nope, not exceedingly bad. Zealot uber fundies like that will see it as the hand of gawd acting through the bomber. And a lot of other fundies will be screaming and pointing at "ay-rabs" even more if the evidence starts pointing to the bomber being, if not actually "one of them", at somebody within their general socio-political spectrum.

Most don't seem to know this and fewer seem to care.

Same problem when they make the car deaths vs gun deaths arguments. Besides the cherry picking, cars have had regulations to make them safer, we register them and yet there are more cars today then ever.

That's something somebody should know just by being alive.

Sigh.. this shit just bugs the crap out of me.  This really has nothing do with guns except maybe that:

They may pass laws to make such a thing harder to do hopefully and yet no one will be screaming about a "pressure cooker ban"

If it turns out ot be a right winger attacking the "government" (and there's no proof right now that it is), it becomes a problem for the gun nuts hat say we need military capable weapons to protect us from the government.

Found this one linked on Rapture Ready:

To go along with all the sodomy that has been happening in heterosexual marriages for centuries.

Do fundies really think that gay people or anyone for that matter, are unable to have sex until the state gives them a license?

Pretty sure if marriage was about sex, gay people wouldn't be going to the bother.

Gawds some people I just want to slap with a fish.

There's also the point that the amount restrictions are largely intended to prevent things like the old WTC bombing where someone filled a UHaul with a massive ferilizer bomb rather than smaller scale explosions. Though I don't remember just how effective such bombs are on a smaller scale. Though it's not really relevant here as the explosions appear to be black powder, which is rather easy to make from it's base ingredients, just so old most people never consider it.

The bomb site must have smelt dreadful, like rotten eggs.

And, y'know, burnt flesh and blood. I'm thinking that people were more focused on the horrible human tragedy than the stank.

If you mean the sulfur smell of burnt gunpowder, then I wouldn't call the smell dreadful. I quite like the smell of freshly lit fireworks. I also like the smell of gasoline, but, of course, not the effects of prolonged inhalation of the fumes.

Before you ask, yes, I do have all my arm hair and eyebrows.

My Mom likes the smell of gasoline.

I like the smell of it in low doses.

Let's just say after trying to be in a low area where everyone and their grandmother was lighting off fireworks and it settled in the valley you kinda like to only smell it at a distance.

Blackpowder does not smell like gunpower. It has substantially more sulphor, I think, and so it's a lot stronger.

I thought they were the same thing.

Modern gunpowered is a descendant of it, but better was figured out about the mid 1800s. I think the first major advancement was smokeless powder that lived up to it's name and packed a bit more explosive force for it's size.

It reminds me of the original version of Cinderella... now that's scary shit.

You mean Aschenputtel

"Turn and peep, turn and peep, there's blood within the shoe. The shoe it is too small for her, the true bride waits for you"

And so the evil stepsisters were forced to go blind all the rest of their lives.

Now if you want trippy Grimm tales, look up "One-Eye, Two-Eyes, and Three-Eyes."
