http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2015/jan/18/schumer-outlaw-homemade-explosives/ ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) - U.S. Sen. Charles Schumer says he is introducing legislation to make it illegal to build homemade bombs. View Quote The New York Democrat said Sunday that current federal rules could potentially allow someone to make homemade explosives without breaking the law. He says that the Boston Marathon bombing and the publication by terrorist groups of recipes for homemade bombs show the need to criminalize the activity. The senator says the legal loophole hinders law-enforcement efforts to stop acts of terror and violence. His legislation would outlaw bomb making, though exceptions would be made for businesses with a license to create explosives for legitimate uses. Specifically, the bill would authorize the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and other agencies to arrest those who are manufacturing homemade explosives. |

I'm curious as to what "homemade explosives" are currently legal in the US.

I'm more curious if a law like this would have stopped things like the Boston bombing similar to how gun free zones stop shootings?

Tannerite. The bill could also potentially be used to outlaw gunpowder for reloading, as a bomb could be made from that. It could also outlaw having more than a certain amount of ammo so you can't pull bullets and build a bomb. It's schumer, so it's likely more back door gun control.

Whatever his stated intention, you can bet your ass it's a direct attack on gun owners. |

The Boston bombers made their bombs from fireworks they cut apart. Schumer's proposal would not have stopped them.

If only homemade explosives were illegalized , the Boston Bomber probably wouldnt have built a bomb to bomb the boston marathon
|
|
Yeah I am sure that if their bomb would have been illegal they would have reconsidered killing those people for fear of getting in trouble for their bomb.
I was not really aware of any legal bombs that could be made. There is the old ANFO diesel and fertilizer which both can be bought legally but I am pretty sure it is illegal to combine them to make a bomb. I never really looked into making this type of stuff because I can buy whatever I want ready made. |

Yeah wait until he finds out the active ingredient in zit cream is an explosive or that this would end drag racing because nitromethane is also a high explosive or that anyone who owns a car made after 95 is in possession of explosives.

It is already illegal to make bombs. And without permits, it is illegal to transport explosives on public roads yet still legal to make explosives.
It is illegal to use fireworks as a weapon too so that is covered.

A bill to outlaw homemade bombs and destructive devices is "feel good" legislation and something that would sail easily through the Senate.
Then, just before it gets voted on, and when no one is paying attention, some Democrat will add gunpowder, primers and homemade ammo to the bill. |

Kinda like gun control, there are plenty of gun laws in the US, if everyone followed the rules and laws extant then there would be no troubles with gang shootings, suicides, murder, children accidentally shooting their friends. |

Who thinks this will be used to outlaw possession of gun powder, either now or in the not too distant future? Like via some kind of administrative expansion after enforcement of this much needed new law is turned over to the ATF.
This will probably kill model rocketry and the fireworks industry in very short order. Schumer is an evil man. |

Everyone with a propane fired bbq has to get ride of them. A small propane tank makes a pretty nice BOOM. Wasn't a propane bottle art of an attempt to blow up an suv somewhere in New York a few years ago??

Criminals will still make them, just like they still murder people even though it has been illegal for a long time. Dumbass.

He's a fuck head and doesn't know shit about bombs.
There's a clip of him at the senate hearings after they burned down the "Branch Davidian" compound insisting that a flash-bang grenade was not dangerous. It can't hurt you-you can set 'em off in your hand and it won't hurt you. You first Chucky boy. He is either; A. willfully stupid, or B. an out and out fuck head. Maybe a willfully stupid fuck head. |
