Senator to propose bill regulating black powder.. Here we go

Post by expandspanos »

Problem, reaction, solution.

They're not just going for the 2nd Amendment... They're going for ingredients that could be used to make bullets even.. obvious sign that the gov. is preparing for something.

Senator to propose bill regulating black powder in wake of Boston Massacre

On April 17, New Jersey Senator Frank Lautenberg issued a statement to the public that he intends to propose a bill or amendment to regulate black powder, and other forms of explosive components, in the wake of the Boston Marathon Massacre. The bill would demand full Federal background checks of anyone seeking to purchase the minor explosive, similar to recent attempts by Congress to require full background checks on the sale of firearms.

I'm curious, where do you draw the line? Is it okay to regulate enriched uranium or plutonium?

:roll: Well, of course, but powder is used by thousands of hunters to reload ammo. I reload shotgun shells for dove, turkey, and duck season, and for skeet. It's gotten so difficult to find regular sources of shells. They either limit you to a couple of boxes a day or are always out of supply. I don't want to have to worry about a background check every time I make an order.

All my Best, Earlie Cuyler.

And where would you draw the line? Is it not ok to tear pieces of paper to make spitballs? Should we regulate sales of CO2 canisters for bb and pellet guns?

I don't know, that's why I asked the question. But there is a huge difference between spitballs and explosive power. You do see that right?

Spitballs? Seriously? :dunce:

So, you draw the line at the point where you are inconvenienced? :lol:

j/k. Admittedly, I don't know exactly what the existing laws are regarding black powder; enriched uranium and plutonium; dynamite; or any other explosive materials are. Perhaps the line has already been drawn. I was just having a little fun asking alcohol induced questions to out favorite conspiracy nut on a Friday night. In other words, I went fishing for spanos, instead I caught a bike riding dentist and a marlin. I'm going to stuff the marlin with spitballs (if they are still legal) and mount it on my wall.

I'm pretty sure dynamite is pretty hard to come by, as well as uranium. And they should be of course. Powder is limited to 35 pounds per purchase, which is way more than enough for personal reloading use. You could probably build one hell of a bomb with that much powder, but unless you are a muslim extremist, why would you waste all that perfectly good powder on one shot? :lol:

So, is that off the record or an official statement of intent? :suspicious:
