He was planning this shit for months, time and planning weren't a problem. Anyone can get away with making explosives, grass fertilizer isn't tracked unless you buy massive amounts of it at once, the other ingredient is common diesel fuel. Clearly the equivalent of "a nuke". >;p

High Elf, High on Acid, Attacks Woman's BMW With a Sword
They can have my sword when they pry it from my cold dead hands...
Seems to be all kinds of crazy going on lately.
Wonder what Elliot Rodger played in WoW, with his god-complex / narcissism? Wonder if he struck out in the cyber department as much as real life? I bet he owned a fedora or two...

Any fertilizer is tracked over 20 lbs. And unless he'd sneak it into the basement you're talking about needing about a ton. Ain't keeping that at an apartment without alarms, people visiting storage lockers regularly get flagged as well.
"Ma'am mind if I come into your basement with 200+ lbs of shit (or lots of gasoline)?" - that would've been the beginning and the end of his attempt with those methods.

Chicago is trying your Utopian gun-banning ideas. I hear it's one of the safest cities now in the country. Oh wait, no, it's one of the most dangerous and deadly places to be in the US right now. Along with liberal run Detroit. The simple truth is that if you give people a privilege to defend themselves, a privilege I count as a God given right, then there are some who will mis-use that privilege to hurt others eventually. You can blame the privilege but what we see now in every place such a thing is tried (Chicago, DC, to name a few), the criminals have a field day. And don't think it's because of guns either. You stop at a gas station and a guy comes and sticks a knife at our wife's head, does the guy really need a gun to rob you and possibly still rape your wife?
We have to be very careful in pointing blame. If you think repealing the 2nd amendment is the way to go, I feel sorry for the shithole cities that your ideas will create, just like they are now on display in Michigan, Illinois and DC.

Harvard's publishing wing is nonselective as long as you're alumni, FYI.
Same goes for most universities. MIT published my sister in law's piece, but still had three department heads from there dissent against her piece.
Have you ever actually even gone to a college? Publishing is just publishing not agreeing or disagreeing.
If it is, there are a ton of boy scouts in my area being tracked...they sell and deliver that shit, by the ton, to raise money.

Post-McVeigh it was in NY state at least. Maybe it's relaxed since or elsewhere. (My employer up there had some home improvement side businesses back when I was up there over the post-McVeigh era)

If it's the same they do here that's mulch, which ain't the same. Besides not all fertilizer works, it's gotta have the right nitrogen content I think?
Who said he had to demolish the entire building? Pipe bombs or molotov cocktails at a frat/sorority party can potentially kill a lot more than the 3 fucking people he killed with his more than 400 rounds of 9mm ammo.

Or he could have started a fire and stood outside mowing people down as they ran out. Its really not fucking rocket science.
He could have also started it somewhere else and had that much extra time to kill people while emergency services are dealing with the fire elsewhere on campus.
Thankfully the guy was a fucking moron.
Yeah, nitrogen is the important ingredient. Am I the only one that read the Anarchists Cookbook in high school? You can make fucking napalm out of styrofoam popcorn and diesel fuel as well. The point being there are a million better ways to kill a bunch of people than driving around shooting a glock out your car window.

Breakarms: I still think solid gun education is the best approach. Someone with a proper grip, holster and stance from a military, police or equivalent background never bothers me. Idiots with a gun held sideways, gun shoved in a pocket, or other careless shit demonstrate a person that come crisis is quite likely a liability rather than an asset.
I'd love to see a Swiss quantity of guns if people were educated in guns like them.
We don't let the uneducated have most dangerous tools, why should firearms be any different. After all the primary pro argument is "they're just a tool". Almost all dangerous tools require registration and licensing including some degree of education.

I'd say the only thing I see wrong here, in the case of gun control, is if he is seeing therapist his whole life and was at the time, that should probably raise some red flags(most likely wont stop it because he could of just gotten them non legally). otherwise the whole gun thing is hilarious, you can't stop things like this, well you could but we would live in a completely different world. Shit is going to happen, you can't stop every crazy who snaps. He could of easily just concentrated on mowing people down while driving around and probably killed more. There's so many ways to harm other people.

Pretty sure with how limpwristed he came across as he wasn't throwing anything a substantial distance. (and pipe bombs are damn heavy - the right gauge of pipe is a good 8-10 lbs empty)
Sure there's always greater potential to anything. But regardless of higher potential, one is an easier one to do with less effort regardless. Assuming no chemistry background, he'd likely flub without some test runs.
Versus show ID, wait three days, walk out with all prep done
Effective or not - it's the lowest challenge to attempt.
