Scant little knowledge necessary to build a bomb. Common materials,
instructions easily found on the internet.

But, it doesn't happen that way does it? Guns are by far the tool of
choice when some nut job goes off the deep end and goes on a killing
rampage.

Guns are popular because they have been in our culture since the days of
having to own one so that you could eat and the movies glorify their
use. Out law the guns and the movies will switch to mimic and other
devices will be used.



I can't remember *ever* hearing of someone rampaging around with a
bomb. Sure there have been bombings, but it's usually someone who
plants it and then isn't there when it goes off.

Well I can assure those the used a bomb instead of guns in Boston
yesterday watched the whole thing go down. They planted the bomb where
they knew there would be cameras recording the event. And I would say
it is quite likely that they were one of the spectators.


That's a completely different scenario than someone walking through a
building shooting people.

Well in this case I believe they got to watch a couple of buildings be
destroyed and 100+ people get hurt. and I heard one expert indicate
that this looked like an untrained persons work.
