Re: OT: Isn\'t this ridiculous??
Umm... stuff that can make pretty booming noises are actually fairly easy to make... provided you don't go boom with it ... for that matter, there's a pretty high probability that most homeowners have basically everything except the end caps for the pipe around their homes somewhere.....

The trouble with government comes when they forget they are employees.

Re: OT: Isn\'t this ridiculous??
The more you tell someone that they CAN'T have it. The MORE they want it. Human nature at it's basic level. If bombs were legal and TAXED, there be no bombs as nobody would want to pay the taxes on them. (It could happen)  |

Re: OT: Isn\'t this ridiculous??
Most 'illegal' drugs are in fact taxed to make them illegal. (You can't get the 'tax stamp' to prove that you've paid the tax, so they are permanently illegal.) Machine guns are also legal and taxed. I haven't heard of any drop in demand for either.

Re: OT: Isn\'t this ridiculous??
This kinda goes the route of 'weather'. You can talk about it, but there's not much you can do about it. 
I guess there was no lesson learned from the 'prohibition' as illegal items will just move to another form of operation and will go on as usual. Nothing changes, except where you have to go, to buy what your looking for. |

Yep, there's too much profit for the government in prohibition, so it's here to stay...
