Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) on Tuesday introduced a bill that would require background checks to be run on anyone buying explosive powder, a reaction to last week's Boston Marathon bombing.
Reid introduced the bill, S. 792, for Sen. Frank Lautenberg (D-N.J.), who has been out sick for much of the year. But in a press statement, Lautenberg said the Boston bombing shows that background checks are needed for explosive materials.
"It defies common sense that anyone, even a terrorist, can walk into a store in America and buy explosive powders without a background check or any questions asked," Lautenberg said Tuesday. "Requiring a background check for an explosives permit is a small price to pay to ensure the safety of our communities.

Oxygen can be pretty dangerous too. Maybe the LIB morons can limit that somehow when they also do their CO2 taxes. Could LIBs be any more ignorant and worthless?

“Guess youll have to have a license to buy Roman candles and firecrackers this Independence Day, or perhaps there will be no more independence to celebrate anyway.”
Already the case in NY. Firecrackers are illegal for the average slave, aka NY Citizen.

Get ready for the assault on the 4th of July.
The patriotic nature of it makes leftists uneasy...and the fireworks are racist or dangerous or something.

Is he familiar with the notion of a dust explosion?

How about background checks for gas? Some of the most powerful explosives are FAEs - fuel/air explosives. The only real trick is figuring out a rapid dispersal scheme...

Utter nonsense. Either of the Boston bombers would have passed a background check and if not, they would find some who did and get them to buy whatever they needed. Just like none of the gun control laws proposed and/or being passed (at the state level) would have done anything to prevent the recent mass shootings.
The statists want background checks so they can monitor and record law-abiding citizens. Simple as that. Anything else as a stated purposed is a lie to fool the low-info sheeples.

“Pretty soon we will have to pass a background check to buy gasoline.”
Here’s an idea. How about deep background checks for anyone coming into this country?

When I was a kid we used to pack matchheads into a BB gun CO2 container light a fuse and get the he!! away.
Amazing how big the explosion was.

First ban what is the most dangerous to the citizens. Ban Islam!
It is not a religion but a death cult designed to destroy civilization and have us all live like the camel impregnating scum in the middle east.
Mo-Ham-Mud was lower than the crud on the soles of our shoes and is the product of a tramp mother bedding down with a pig.
This reminds me of a tramp mother bedding down with a Kenyan communist and raising the spawn of that devil coupling with as many communists as she could sleep with.
