Assault rifles are illegal and not easy to come by. The press is hysterical, and typically inaccurate. His assault rifle probably amounts to something that uses a magazine instead of a bolt action single shot.
And as others point out there are 100’s of chemicals that can be “precursors”.
What a joke, why believe anything in the newspaper given such emotional content instead of simple facts. The govt. will not release such specifics, their goal is to make themselves look big. And the people eat it up, tune in the NFL later, and dream about “Black Friday”.
Probably the guy was just a reloader.......

“Produce temporary physical discomfort...” - Seems to me that includes pepper spray. Women tend to carry that for protection but evidently in New Jessey the women are totally defenseless.

Did you know Occupy Wall Street is a movement of peace?
Probably more than 26 gallons.
With some Marine Corp HTHC time and much time as a linebacker along with some other un-named experience I guess “producing temporary physical discomfort” is one of the things I’m good at and have “produced” many times on dunderheads. Next time I’m in Jersey maybe I should just turn myself in?-—————————Semper Fi
