Yes, he's still at it: brave, crusading State Senator Jim Merritt is still out to Save Us from the Scourge Of Tannerite. He has (apparently) backed off from his demand to take names and limit amounts sold, but he's still aimin' to get it put behind the counter with the cigarettes and skin magazines, and just as illegal for under-18 citizens to lay hold of.
Report is that he's facing opposition from his own party and (surprise! surprise!) the National Rifle Association. (I can't find his proposed bill on the web yet, tsk.) --But there's no reason why he shouldn't get a little more opposition from you and me, too! You can e-mail him at this link, at Senator.Merritt@iga.in.gov, or if you're old-fashioned: Senator Jim Merritt Indiana State Senate 200 W. Washington Street Indianapolis, IN 46204-2785 (317) 232-9400 (800) 382-9467
Tell him "Hands Off Tannerite!" Maybe he'd like to work on mandatory daily alcohol testing for IMPD officers who drive official cars, instead?
(Here's who contributes to his campaigns.)
(I note with interest that this splendid example of a State Senator (I say, I say) is also a big booster of the so-called "Lifeline" law, in which hard-drinking under-agers -- mostly college students -- can call EMS or the po-po when their peers, you know, pass out and stop breathing from over-indulgence, without having to fear arrest for their crime. Yes, kids, try that in the 'hood and see how it works out for you; call it whatever they like but this is a law to codify immunity for the sons and daughters of privilege. How very nice. How very, very nice. Hey, you know what, Senator? When these punks drink themselves to death in flagrant violation of the law and common sense, just think of it as evolution in action. And ditto when their tipsy little pals end up hung over and looking up at a judge. Sooner or later, we'll either breed them for better alcohol tolerance or possibly a modicum of restraint, the latter being something their parents are evidently unable to teach 'em.)
Perhaps the author could afford a few on-line English composition courses.
Not nearly what you could accomplish with the same truck filled with fertilizer and diesel fuel.
It’s ammonium-nitrate explosive. Filling up a Ryder truck with it is what took down the Oklahoma City Federal Building.
My 11-year-old son loves that Tannerite. Always fun hearing him explain to people “Tannerite is my favorite explosive.” And “I made my first bomb when I was ten.”
(Wait for the ending)
I and some more FReepers watched this one being made at the
TexasCowboy Memorial Shoot a few years ago!
Tannerite is not an ammonium-nitrate explosive, and is not what was in that truck.
Tannerite makes target practice fun!
You still have the link!
I sure do! :) It’s in my Facebook Timeline for always! LOL!
Just evokes the phrase “stupid is as stupid does.” Guys an idiot wasting everyone’s time! He should be ashamed!
“If you happen to pick up a copy of the TM 31-210 from your local Army/Navy surplus store you can learn everything necessary to make a bomb with your own pee. “
Combined with a strick diet of beets and asparigus, you can create a paint and stink bomb in one stroke.
It sure took a long time for that Tard ta blow that stuff up.
At least a half dozen tries IIRC.
They shoulda hired one of you guys! One shot...a big kaBOOM! :)
Ha ha, I looked into it right after I made that post and then told my husband about it, he wants to make his own but I did find a site to order it from.
