Read this about fertilizer from DHS.
www.dhs.gov...
And retail fertilizer sold at home depot has been altered in order to prevent it from being used in explosives.
I would do what any insurgent leader does. Take help from whomever would render it, make whatever promises needed to be made to get such assistance walk away will all that I could get keeping them just appeased enough o continue such aid. I'd welcome some Russian Spetznaz operators into my AO gladly, (I speak pretty decent Russian still BTW) with their arms and money I'd fight my part of the war.
Then if or when we win the national level leaders would claim the individual local leaders with whom the outside actors had worked had no authority to make any promises and we'd do as we pleased. Happens every day all over the world.
Happened to the US in Afghanistan when the Mujahedeen were fighting the Russians as a matter of fact...
He was born in the Bin Laden family to billionaire Mohammed bin Awad bin Laden in Saudi Arabia. He studied there in college until 1979, when he joined the mujahideen forces in Pakistan against the Soviets in Afghanistan.
A former U.S. Marine who had defected to the Soviet Union between October 1959 and June 1962, Oswald was initially arrested for the murder of police officer J. D. Tippit, on a Dallas street approximately 40 minutes after Kennedy was shot. Suspected in the assassination of Kennedy as well, Oswald denied involvement in either of the killings. Two days later, while being transferred from police headquarters to the county jail, Oswald was shot and killed by nightclub owner Jack Ruby in full view of television cameras broadcasting live.

Originally posted by JBA2848And you wonder why they might want to take your gun away or at least the 30 round clips and assault weapons you could use for a mass killing like your friend Bin Laden.
so, are you saying we are better off and 'restricted' to a point that it provides greater safety to the public, or not ?
The law, which the fertilizer industry supported, leaves the U.S. with weaker controls on ammonium nitrate than Britain, Germany, Australia, Israel, Saudi Arabia and many other nations.

There is already laws on the books that is there newest laws to strengthen it.

Tests conducted by the Defense Department since the Oklahoma City bombing have demonstrated that the fertilizer can blow up with as little as 10 percent to 25 percent nitrogen content, according to ATF and defense officials. In one test, the department detonated a hopper car full of fertilizer and yielded an explosion equal to 20,000 pounds of TNT, according to a senior defense official. That blast was about equal to the largest conventional ordnance in the Pentagon's arsenal, and four times larger than has been estimated for the Oklahoma City blast. Detonating ammonium nitrate requires a booster, such as widely available special gunpowders or harder-to-get plastic explosives. Mixing fuel oil with ammonium nitrate is sometimes done to improve its explosive power, but is not necessary.

And taking away a 30 round magazine or clip (slang easier to type), drum feeds and I really don't care about what they call assault weapons( they say any rifle with a pistal type grip). Is reason enough to go to war and team up with some one like Bin Laden?

I think the main thing to realize when arguing with civilians would be that our reality is perceived as one thing, and the reality of a war in our backyard is beyond the scope of our thought process.

If it did happen, I'd much rather have you for a neighbor, dude.

So true! But, I believe now our communications are much better and we'll all know what's going on. Then, it will be up to us what we do about it, and I'm almost certain that if it came to it where they began going door to door for our guns, we won't stand idly by. This IMO is the only way that actual civil war could ever happen, is when they actually try to take people's guns. It won't happen. Gun sales are breaking all records right now because every sane thinking American knows they may try to pass laws to stop sales and make it very difficult to get a gun, so get them now! As far as coming to take them away...Good Luck!
