Actually a grenade (homemade or military) is classified as a destructive device. No different than a pipe bomb.
I support the 2nd amendment and I don’t feel paranoid or even upset by the fact that I cannot possess grenades or pipe bombs with my firearms.
My firearms can be used for defense, hunting, or target shooting. I really see no legitimate use for explosive devices designed to create shrapnel.
That is the problem with articles like this. The author obviously had a slant on the story that did not focus on the important things we would all understand such as:
IED’s - yes, the same thing they use in Iraq albeit on a smaller scale.
Marijuana grow operation - not that big a deal to me but it’s still illegal
Boobytraps??? - The response on this board is almost always unanimous when a pit bull maims or kills a child. I wonder how many would defend a “militia member” if a child or firefighter stumbled on one of these things?
You mean that you see no legitimate "sporting use" for explosive devices designed to create shrapnel, don't you?
Every military force on earth sees a need for grenades. If you are ever forced to protect your community from an invader, you will no doubt support the use of such devices. If you are fortunate, your own army will be the ones using such devices.
If you are unfortunate, your own army will be the invading force.
