I am a supporter of the 2nd amendment. However, there are those in this country who only pretend to be in support of the 2nd amendment. People like the National Rifle Association, whose strong rifle-bias precludes their understanding from allowing the freedom to own bombs. I fully support the right to own bombs. Bombs are quite useful.

For instance, I wish to wear a bomb vest wherever I go. This would allow me to protect myself from criminals and/or the government when needed. I would only use the bomb vest responsibly and lawfully, in response to direct, serious threats to my body or person, or to those around me. Or, perhaps, I could put a bomb in my wife's purse, so if someone wants to take it, I can protect us with a switch and a timer.

In any event, I find that people have a critical lack of creative thinking, and the gun debates have seriously degraded our vision when it comes to self-defense. Guns are perhaps the least useful tool in an arsenal of defense. They are relatively difficult to use, limited in application, and rely too heavily upon the nerves and training of its operator. I feel that we can revolutionize personal defense with a strong line of explosive devices sold at discount prices.

As the old saying goes, "A society where everyone is armed with bomb vests is a polite society."

What about cannons?

You must have a cannon. (http://www.cannonsuperstore.com/)

It's all in the shape. Bombs can be too . . . rounded.

a cannon should be at least larger than a penis in order to qualify as a cannon, IMHO

Me, I've always been a bigger fan of cold steel rather than x'ploding stuff.

Swords, daggers, spears, maces, lances, yatagans... Morning-stars... Arakhs (http://gameofthrones.wikia.com/wiki/Arakh)...

And... BOILED LEATHER (http://boiledleather.com/post/29199309550/boiledleather-a-storm-of-rose-petals-blew)!!!

A storm of rose petals blew across a blood-streaked sky, as blue as the eyes of death.

Can you suggest any bomb owners safety courses?
Like the NRA, is there an NBA I could join?
What's the difference between TNT and Dynomite?
Do you suggest making your own bomb, or do you prefer the store bought bombs?
Do you have stats regarding bomb deaths, bomb ownership, bomb safety, etc?

Dynomite is an obsolete term from an old TV show. Dynamite is Nitroglericin, a particular chemical compound which is rumored to make Big Booms. ;P

One is an explosion that moves a projectile, and the other is an explosion that moves a projectile.

You are not limiting my size of bomb right? After all, badlydrawnjeff advocates my right to own a nuclear weapon. And those days before coffee when you just feel like solving the problem by nuking the site from orbit seem so tangible now.

The iphone would be a good trigger, since it already has a radio modem (plus investors, it would increase device sales numbers). I'll check there's an app for 555 timer triggers.

And poison gas? I mean the Chevron factory in my area just sprayed poison on a bunch of citizens. The engineers saw the breakdown coming and asked for permission to shut it down (first mistake was asking permission) and the management ordered them keep the production rolling. So, I figure spraying poison gas back at them may be a way to stand my ground, ya know?

sound satiric rather then joke. The difference is the presence/absence of a punchline.
