Constitutional Amendment to Right to Bear Arms

[MasterJedi]

I'll definitly vote for this with every explosive about dynamite being banned.

Surely this now goes beyond the concept of protecting your family and property?  How exactly does protecting the right to use fireworks and dynamite make the honest citizens safer?

What, you've never seen the Tremors series?

Aye

That's true, but to me this amendment only makes things worse for them.

BTW, I'm thinking more along the lines of a Tim McVeigh style terrorist more than any hidden al-Qaeda cells, as they're a heck of a lot harder to spot as being a terrorist, and a lot more likely to own a personal arsenal without having been asked a lot of questions first.

Must I remind you that even without the amendment reading, low-potency explosives, and with regulations against explosives, people like McVeigh can still easily get a hold of bomb making material. You have to remember that the Oklahoma City bomb was made out of fertilizer.

Colin makes a good point, if people want to get explosives that will kill tons of people then there's really no stopping them.
