A bill to loosen federal restrictions for model rocket enthusiasts drew fire Tuesday from senators from New York and New Jersey, who said the proposal would give terrorists access to dangerous explosives. Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., criticized the measure by Sen. Mike Enzi, R-Wyo., to change the Homeland Security Act to allow rocket enthusiasts to buy black powder and another form of high-powered rocket propellant without submitting to a background check. The act was passed after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.

A squirt gun, filled with the right ingredient could be deadly.
A magazine or newspaper, properly rolled up and used in the right manner, can kill, as can a pencil.

I could go on, but this fits right in with the QUISLING article TM pinged me to earlier.

And the absolutely, most dangerous weapon on the entire planet is the educated/knowledgeble human mind coupled with a skillful human hand.

Could be another reason for the dumbing down of our school kids.

In my book the bad guys laugh about how easy it is to frame gun owners after the fact. Something like:

"Hey, he's a plumber right, and he reloads his own ammo? Then he's got pipes, and gunpowder. Two plus two equals pipe bomb in my book."
