Yeah, the bomb situation IS frightening.
FOX network did some coverage after the incident,
and officials were talking 8000+ bombings in US last year.
They had footage of guys buying bombs from vendors
(I use the word loosely), who had absolutely no
qualms about it, just wanted to make his 500 bucks
the sell one to the jackass who wanted to blow away
his ex-wife or ex-wife's new boyfriend.

Bizarre.

Interesting new problem-BOMBS

As gun control laws get more strict the use of bombs is on a dramatic rise. If there were no guns at all what is the probability the people would have blown the crap out of the school similar to Oklahoma.

It is very probable and would have killed in the hundreds instead of 12 innocent. Scarry problem huh.


Read the news! They had 30+ bombs in addition to their guns, and their goal was to level the school and kill far more than 13 people. Guns and many bombs comprised their well rounded arsenal.

By the way you deranged liberals bombs are already outlawed

Has anyone else noticed the venom the gun advocates on this thread have against anyone _suggesting_ ANY gun control of ANY kind? More anger there than the killer-kids in Colorado. Hmmm.

<<By the way you deranged liberals bombs are already outlawed>>

I'm not sure what your point is. Bombs are outlawed because they kill people. What do guns do?

Besides kill, one can argue that guns also protect. Which is greater, the positive (protection) or the negatives (killing)? It is not an easy question to answer.
