It's a combination. Before I was a teenager I had a bomb factory. Kid's like fireworks and it was legal. The old man just cautioned to use paper, not glass, so no one would get hurt. I also had a strong love of Freedom and an extreme dislike(hatred) for nazis , communists and criminals. This kid's old man was an airhead and so was his teachers for ignoring his school presentations.
In the interest of full-disclosure,I made my own black powder by buying the ingredients at a drug store when I was about 8 or 9. I didn't try to make a bomb,though. I was content to just set it on fire to see that it worked. I DID make my own 22 caliber zip gun out of a car antenna,though. It shot,too. I must have been about 10 by then.
