Yeah they do. The first thing I thought of was some reprobate walking up to a car stopped at a red light and letting go through the driver’s window with it. And that was just an instant fear response.

If you are good with your hands you can make one for under $100 probably less than $50.

“Ones desire to own hand grenades, C-4, Kidex, dynamite, blasting caps, nuclear triggers, and by cracky flame throwers IS NOT A PROTECTED RIGHT.”

“So before you toss out some knee jerk b. s. in response to one who thought about the post in advance you should take a stab at thinking it through for more than a nanosecond or in your case maybe an hour or so.”
