As long as you keep the explosives stored separately from the firing mechanism it's fine.Clinton Huxley wrote:It's no business of the gubmint if I keep a bomb.Coito ergo sum wrote:As long as those bombs are registered, and properly permitted...Clinton Huxley wrote:Free citizens should be allowed to legally carry bombs so they can blow up the bombs of evil-doers.

Wrong. The possession of a weapon with the intent to commit a crime with it makes that possession illegal. Therefore, while the shooter may have acquired the weapons before forming the intent to commit a crime, the instant he formed that intent, his possession of so much as a single round of ammunition, much less a bomb, became illegal.Mysturji wrote:A completely wrong analogy.Gawdzilla Sama wrote:How many bombings today? Just for reference purposes.
Those bombs weren't licenced, therefore illegal, and thus owned and operated by criminals.
Gun nuts are by definition law-abiding citizens, at least in some places.
Now that's sorted out, any idea where I can buy a license for a nail-bomb?
Purely for self-defence.
Well, sort of. These days you have to store the explosives in an approved and permitted magazine. There are specific design specifications for what constitutes a magazine and also a day box, which is used to store explosives currently being used.Coito ergo sum wrote:As long as you keep the explosives stored separately from the firing mechanism it's fine.Clinton Huxley wrote:It's no business of the gubmint if I keep a bomb.Coito ergo sum wrote:As long as those bombs are registered, and properly permitted...Clinton Huxley wrote:Free citizens should be allowed to legally carry bombs so they can blow up the bombs of evil-doers.
Depends on the crime. Felonies and any domestic violence conviction, along with being a habitual user of illegal drugs, or mentally insane (adjudicated so by a court) are all disqualifiers, but minor misdemeanors and traffic tickets don't disqualify.Mysturji wrote:A government agency.Gawdzilla Sama wrote:So, the BATF has a definition?
Can a person who is not a law-abiding citizen legally obtain a gun license?
Depends on the state. Most states do not issue "gun licenses" per se, although some do. Both federal and state law make it illegal for a felon or other disqualified person to possess a firearm, or so much as a single round of ammunition, and if you get convicted, one of the things the court may require is that you dispose of your firearms. The police generally don't seize them, although they may if they are evidence, and a convicted felon must lawfully dispose of them by giving them to someone, or transferring them to a gun dealer to be sold. As for CCW permits, most often they are revoked when the holder commits a crime, and in some states it can be even a misdemeanor that will get your permit yanked.Can a person who has ceased to be a law-abiding citizen legally keep a previously issued gun license?
I agree, mostly.Sean Hayden wrote:I usually obsess over questions like, "Who knew this guy", "Did he really have no contact with the world", "What kind of priors are we looking at", "Was he recently released from a mental health facility, a prison", all of these questions seem more useful to me in these situations than just calling for guns to be banned.

And the answer's still the same: Either I'll pay for my own medical care/insurance, or I'll die. What I won't do is steal from others to pay for my medical care.rEvolutionist wrote:Just had a funny thought about the old debates we used to have with seth regarding him funding his own healthcare. We used to model our argument on Seth getting regular normal diseases and/or afflictions. But what we failed to realise was that normal afflictions to Seth are likely to take a back seat to crazy incendiary related afflictions (like exploding a tree onto himself)..
