Making an anti-personnel bomb is absurdly easy. Much easier than making an effective firearm. slackmaster Apr 2013 #7

You don't understand that the laws against these "arms" are already keeping them out of the hands of criminals and others who would use them against their neighbors?

Sure, some slip through, and clever, determined people can construct bombs. But what if we had a bomb store in every town? Then what would life be like?

At what point do we decide to limit "arms"?

Actually, I believe that an overwhelming majority of people don't commit murder because we know that it is morally wrong. That's what prevents most of us from becoming criminals.

1934.
