Boston Marathon Bombing

I'm waiting for Wayne The Peter to say that the only way to stop a bad guy with a bomb is a good guy with a bomb.

Are bombs considered "arms" under the 2nd Amendment?

Don't give them ideas.

I'm surprised we haven't heard that the only reason this happened is because not enough of those people were armed.

What a (worse) cluster that might have been...

I didn't mention Obie

I never got the 'peace through violence' thing.

Wow this became a anti-gun campaign. Guess there are "nuts" on both sides of that debate.

Obviously not the death count of 9/11 but the wounded is so horrific. Nails, metal shards, and ball bearings being pull out of victims. Can't imagine what would obsess anyone to do something like this.

I think the 2nd comments were just a little dig. At least that's all it was on my part.

So we had 2 bombs explode built out of a pressure cooker and now two
ricin letters intercepted. One to a Republican in Mississippi and the other to
the President. Now more suspicous letters found at the White House per CNN.
No jihadists dancing in the streets and no foreigners claiming it. Kind of leans
towards a lone wolf in Mississippi depending on these new letters found?

That's what a shrapnel bomb is designed to do, radiate chunks of metal and inflict as much injury as possible.

I don't know either, Mike. And, we won't know until they catch someone. And, even then, it most likely won't make any sense.
