The Serbian government asked people on Tuesday not to dispose of hand grenades and other munitions in the garbage, hoping to minimize accidents as it imposes tighter controls over privately held weapons.

You throw them in the in-sink garbage disposal!

Shouldn’t they be registered first?

Perhaps they should hold a “Grenade Buyback” program?

It does sound pretty irresponsible. In my neighborhood we have special pickup days for grenades, land mines, shaped-charge devices, and anything larger than 105mm. Tuesdays, I believe. And for Petessake, they need to be properly bagged.

I save them and hand them to children out at Halloween or put them in the kids stockings at Christmas.

When grenades are outlawed, only outlaws will have grenades .

Well, as long as they aren’t throwing those curlie-cue light bulbs in the garbage, I don’t see any detrimental long-term effects.

Grenades should always go in the recycle bin.

Since grenades are metal, do they go into the recycling instead of the garbage?

Always separate your trash into frag and de-frag.
