There's a very good chance that some budding mad bomber will find instructions on how to make a bomb, and it'll end up being a dud. Just look at the Columbine kids. If they actually could pull off the bomb they were building [protip: the Anarchist's Cookbook is utter shit, whether it's the real one or one of the online guides claiming to be the real one], the 14 kids who died in the shooting would have been an afterthought to the hundreds who would have died. And odds are, in this case, the budding Timothy McVeigh will likely have a lower body count, either because their bomb killed them before they killed anyone else, or because it failed and it immediately gets them on the police's (or DHS') radar.
Building bombs is easy - you have all the knowledge necessary is you simply stayed awake in high school chemistry class...
Building a gun would take far more knowlege and practical experience. That would take a high school education and a year or two of machining experience.
Point being - neither one is rocket science.
