• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

And then when we've done that we can look at things that are specifically designed and made to kill people and do something similar.

What do you think?
Like bombs and hunting knives?

Yeah. Like them.


I'm not sure if there's specific laws on buying bombs. Do you know anywhere that sells them? I can then check.

There are restrictions on who can buy dynamite and other explosives. They also track who buys large quantities of bomb-making supplies such as nitrogen - not necessarily prohibited, but definitely tracked. Don't make the farmers irate!

What? Are you being serious? Is there an Acme Bomb Supplies near you and you're concerned about the lax restrictions on who can buy bombs over 1,000 lbs?

I am in favor of not only banning cricket bats but the whole game.
Cricket is a century spanning snipe hunt like con the British created to confuse the colonials who then joined in pretending along with the Brits that any part of that field based farce make any sense to the human mind.

It's a simple game:

  • You have two sides, one out in the field and one in.
  • Each man that’s in the side that’s in the field goes out and when he’s out comes in and the next man goes in until he’s out.
  • When a man goes out to go in, the men who are out try to get him out, and when he is out he goes in and the next man in goes out and goes in.
  • When they are all out, the side that’s out comes in and the side that’s been in goes out and tries to get those coming in out.
  • Sometimes there are men still in and not out.
  • There are men called umpires who stay out all the time, and they decide when the men who are in are out.
  • Depending on the weather and the light, the umpires can also send everybody in, no matter whether they’re in or out.
  • When both sides have been in and all the men are out (including those who are not out), then the game is finished.
 
  • Love

Yeah, the Unibomber and the Oklahoma bomber just ran down there and bought some bombs. :rolleyes:

I'm sorry, I really don't understand what point you are trying to make. The unibomber could easily walk down the street and buy a gun legally. But making bombs to kill people is already (and I didn't even have to look this up) illegal. Period.

There's no need to register your bomb making equipment. There's no need to attend Bomb Making Classes so we know you are competent in the relevant skills. You don't have to get a license to carry your bomb around in public. There's no need for bars and restaurants to posts signs saying 'No concealed bombs allowed'. There's no age limit to blowing people up. When it says in the constitution that you can have a well armed militia, it was talking about flintlock weapons. Not bombs.

I hope that's cleared up any misunderstanding.
