Once you have had a thirty year bombing campaign on your homeland you may feel differently.
Fertilizers here have additives which inhibit their explosive potential. Pretty hard to build a bomb here.
For legal reasons, we are not threatening to destroy U.S. government property with our glorious medieval siege engine. But if we wanted to, we could. But we won’t. But we could.

The bigger problem here, as I have stated previously, is that our society is disintegrating. There exists nothing that unifies us any longer into a cohesive society. Not really anything meaningful. People are more isolated. Angrier.

There exist no easy fixes. When people finally accept that, acknowledge it, and start undoing the damage that has been inflicted, we can maybe find some mitigating policies. But fixating on guns, or "bomb parts", etc., is not going to solve it.

Liberals all get this when we are talking about a war on drugs. When Trump says we need to execute drug dealers, they all realize that the bigger problem is the poverty, the hopelessness, and the lack of resources for people living on the edges of society. But when it comes to guns and random violence.. they are like OMFG let's execute the gun manufacturers!!

So many people are just running on self-contradictory scripts that are nothing more than vain ideologies. Just look at the problems as they are.

I would submit to you that the problems underlying the drug epidemic and the rise in mentally ill mass killers are quite related, and sitting around pretending like they are totally different and just banning guns and garden fertilizer is going to solve everything is childish.

Yeah, just keep making it easy for nut jobs to kill crowds of innocent people. Anything else is the nanny state and regulations are for Communists.
Bye America.

If you have access to potassium nitrate, sulfur, and charcoal in any form, you have access to explosives. One crude explosive set under a sack of flour, followed by a second crude explosive when the air is saturated with particles, will make for an impressive incendiary explosive.

Can’t think of any nations that don’t have those three chemicals in some form, and flour.

Do you really not understand how easy it is to manufacture a bomb?

You could pretty much go to any Home Depot and purchase most of the components right there.

Half-retarded Tsarneaov brothers managed to build them out of pressure cookers.

You stated that it's pretty hard to build a bomb in your country while a the same time telling us you've had a 30 year bombing campaign there. Which is it?

Seemed easy enough for jihadis to build bombs and murder English children.

Generally there is a limited number of bomb makers in the jihadi world. Like the Amsterdam Airport bombing, they never caught the bombmaker. It's been theorized that there are only a couple jihadi bomb makers that travel to other countries to build bombs for attacks.

The key with bombs, is not blowing yourself up. Good Detonators are always a problem.

Pretty sure something like an m80 tied to the side of a 16oz plastic soda bottle full of gasoline would make a pretty effective fireball (blast would scatter/vaporize the gas while the flash ignites it)? Mind you just making can Malotov cocktail with a rag and a glass bottle is just as effective at close range. Ban gasoline!!! :roll:

At any rate, takes some Estes model rocket engines apart and crush up the propellant and you can make a fine little pipe bomb. They even give you electric igniters with every pack of engines. Just add timer/battery. Maybe we need to ban model rocketry? After all, they've pretty much done it to the old chemistry kits we could get when I was a kid...
