Idiot blew his leg off

[brewer]

Yep, this guy is an idiot. All of 43 feet away with 3 pounds of explosive. Got to know your explosives. This guy was an accident waiting to happen no matter what explosive he used. The internet is full of examples. Got some dry ice and a plastic bottle? 4000 match heads?

He may not be able to read or comprehend. Quotes from the manufacturer safety page: "Never place these targets inside, on top of, or under any surface that could produce shrapnel or within another object. Place ½ and 1 lb targets down range at least 100 yards before shooting. Place 2 lb targets 200 yards down range before shooting. (2 pound targets are sold to professionals only). Do not shoot targets larger than 1 pound unless it is required due to extreme long-range competition."

You can buy the components seperately. Making tannerite illegal will not stop the component sale.

I hate to say this but he deserved what he got.

What I'm wondering is why the US government hasn't banned this explosive substance. Aren't they afraid of terrorists using it?

It's made of ammonium nitrate (fertilizer) and aluminum powder, that's why. Same reason that ANFO isn't banned, despite being used by domestic terrorists to destroy a federal building.

The components for both are probably available in your hometown as well, though it's probably unlawful to make a bomb out of them (much as it is here unless you've gone through the requisite red tape).

The guy in the video is weapons grade dumbass. I sincerely hope he finds a different hobby - and doesn't breed.

Weapons grade dumbass. That's funny!

Lol, is this true? People have fun shooting bombs?

Yes, but only from a safe distance.

Apparently no more afraid of that than they are of terrorists getting guns.

You see, we have a whole political party over here that is made up of fucking assholes.

The bill was not to stop terrorists from buying guns. It was to stop people on a terrorist watch list from buying guns.

Is everyone on this list a terrorist?
If they are then why aren't they being arrested?
Do terrorists depend on gun stores to get guns?

1.  It's not a chance I'm willing to take

2.  Rather depends on why they were listed in the first place.

3.  Thanks to your republicunt asshole buddies they can buy whatever the fuck they like.

If it's not a chance you are willing to take then they should be taken into custody by the cops.

YOu just want to refill Gitmo.

YOu just want to refill Gitmo.

Get a grip. That bill was BS. If someone is a terrorist then they need to be apprehended.

Constitutional rights should not be stripped off of a loose suspicion. That bill smells of the Patriot act.

They can't fly on a plane but they can buy all the fucking guns they want, huh?  You get a grip.  The death merchants will just need to take a little hit to their profit margin...which is all the fucking republicunts care about.
