I guess I’m ignorant although I hold an advanced degree in biochemistry I can’t think of any common household chemicals that would make an effective bomb. (unless nitric acid is considered a common household chemical or maybe match heads, who knows?) I suspect that the feebs are trying to sow a little panic and further set the stage for prosecution of individuals for simply having information. I seem to remember reading that the ATF considers instructions for putting together an automatic weapon a machine gun. I guess it’s kind of like a pop tart eaten into the the shape of a gun is considered a gun.
ammonia + bleach
the product is “thermal sensitive” and “shock sensitive”
many Freepers have blown up toilets this way
I hadn't heard about that policy. If that's the case, how does the ATF plan to register someone's brain into the NFA Registry if a person happens to know how to build a machine gun from plans stored in their heads?
Sounds like your curiosity ran a different direction from my own as a teenager. What lead directly to my interest in chemistry and my later career as a chemist started with making things blow up using common materials.
