He Won't Do That Again

[AirDancer]

That was me knocking on the door of the leg lamp owner.

The leg lamp was delivered in a crate, just as it was in the movie. (The crate still survives, and is used to pack up the lamp after the Holidays)

dynamite is a cutting explosive, i prefer c4 which is even better at that.

 

[KevinK]

Then your question was not moot.

Hate me yet?

Never.

What we need isn't more regulation. What we need is more common sense.

self correcting error

but that guy with all the fireworks in his trunk didn't ask for my license...;)
A license wouldn't ensure common sense, lol.

you cant fix stupid, this problem self corrected itself.

5 year old Girl died, after Sturgeon jumps into boat killing her.

Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and slew them, think ye that they were sinners above all men that dwelt in Jerusalem? I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.
(Luk 13:4-5)

Who would be here if God had not kept us and protected us? Was it lack of common sense that put a 5 year old girl in a boat to be killed by a fish?

Anyone ever look both was, could swear there was nothing there and pulled out to almost be hit by another vehicle?

It takes the enemy but a second to make us miss a word, a step, a not seeing something there, and it's all over. Our IQ, our Common sense, or great driving skills is not what has kept us.

All the Satanic spirit has to do is blind us briefly of something, miss something, move our hand someplace and we come up missing a limb, an eye, or even our life.

The same spirit that Killed that young man, thinking they were dud's, blinding him into thinking something that was not true, is the same spirit that killed that little girl.

There is no safe place on earth unless the Lord keep and protect you. Your not protected by your supreme IQ, or superior skills.

If Satan has a place to kill you, closing yourself in a locked steel concrete room is not going to help you.

This is grievous, His brother was standing next to him and part of his head went missing. Real funny. The same spirit that did that, is the one the Lord kept us from.

just wow.

Mike.

i believe god allows men to die, not satan. we aren't protected form bodily death. we all will die and be raised unless the lord returns.

if i kill you and you aren't sinning in some missioniary field then who sinned? you , you and me, or just me?

 

[Kenny_ms]

I never even considered Satan could kill me.

If he could, why doesn't he just kill everyone before they are saved...mission accomplished.

 

[jasonc]

the bible says all souls are mine( the all is not satan) that means whatever evil satan does is allowed or hindered by God. job shows this to be the case. albeit we aren't meant to know the daily details only that God is control and has control over satan. we give satan way to much power. he has always been on a leash of some sorts.

 

[Edward]

I think all we have enough common sense to know where we'd be without some sort of regulation/rules.


I won't even get into this one with you or anyone.

There are so many aspects and ways of looking at it, we'd both come off being right as often as being wrong.

But are you saying we should have no regulations, surely you aren't

On what's used for gun powder being different than dynamite, is one explosion less than the other?

She made a pretty good point imo. If you're going to reguate something then there's considerations about similar products but even then if they did, being reckless with semi-dangerous materials would still happen whether regulated or not.

I've been a shooter and reloaded my own ammunition for a long time. Most of my life in fact. The difference between explosives and gun powder is actually a lot, even black powder. Smokeless powder is actually a propellant and not an explosive, though one can confine the expanding gases to a point where the resulting pressure increase, bursts the container. Most people would be in awe at how slow gunpowder actually burns, especially rifle powder. I think black powder is closer to an explosive than a propellant (though I could be wrong about that). I've owned and reloaded for a lot of guns over the years, but none of them were ever black powder. I've seen it burn though and it's fast.

To increase the burn rate of black powder it can be mixed with fine metallic powder, like aluminum powder (stop leak). This is how they make flash powder albeit instead of black powder they use...potassium chlorate (I think) and add other different types of metals to get different colors. Suffice to say, there's a huge difference between gun powder and explosives. It's all about burn rate. Powder is slow and would need contained in a steel pipe or something in order to get a burst, wherein something like C-4 burns (detonates) so rapidly that it needs no containment to make an explosion.

c-4 can be detonated by electronic means or by pressure. it will not burn to ignite in a fire. it has no wick.

Fact is, they can allow gun powder and still regulate fireworks, or am I missing something here?

i have taken apart ammo and lit the gunpowder. it is as Edward says.

I just asked dh, he only uses black powder with his muzzle loader. He uses smokeless powder for reloading.

Most people would not buy gun powder to to make fireworks if they weren't available. I'd go so far to say, the ones who used gun powder to get their fireworks fix is a non issue. I like firecrackers, but I would never consider going to the trouble to make them. A few might but still the use would be cut down tremendously. I have no doubt about that so for all intents and purposes, you can regulate one without harming the other and do a substantial amount of good, that is, if too many people are being harmed by fireworks.

 

[jasonc]

I have never heard of home made fireworks .I'm sure someone would but again I'm only for regs when it's really needed. Besides what one can use to make explosives with is never fully able to be stopped.ecominically it's easier to buy them then to make them.the only reason florida banned them here is due to fires not self injuries.

 

[AirDancer]

I don't make my own fireworks............. I hire Beldar Conehead to make 'em up for me :shades

 

[KevinK]

My husband reloads, so he uses black powder, in very small amounts at a time. He can't get around dynamite, he has an allergic reaction.

I just asked dh, he only uses black powder with his muzzle loader. He uses smokeless powder for reloading.

Does he have problems around smokeless powder at all? Some types (so-called "double-base") are about half nitroglycerine.

Yeah, like I said , that is, if too many people are being harmed by fireworks. No problems no regulation due to injury, no matter where it is.

I think what got us started on this was the loosening of regulations where the Guy killed himself, for all I know there are hardly ever fatalities/accidents in his area and that's why the loosening of regs but if there were too many, I would be for regulation, hands down.

And remember, the Dad said the fuse was accidentally lite and the odds of something like that happening again are pretty slim, plus, that's just what the Dad said so who knows. I assume there was a proper investigation and the state knows what they are doing.

 

[jasonc]

Again how many die from fireworks each year.it's nothing like cars which are regulated.a license driver does often injure others more then an unlicensed fireworks user.I'm one who as permanent injury from a driver.the army has regs for everything we loose more soldiers to accidents then wars.we should license soldiers.oh wait all those safety classes.do they work? Maybe maybe not.I'm not against that but it's a bit much when I may have to give a safety brief on sex,car driving,motorcycles,fireworks,beer consumption ,joining isis,etc.so yes I don't think laws will fix stupid.

That guy killed himself ...the lack of regulations did not make him stupid or drunk..

Report: 82 shot, 14 fatally, over holiday weekend in Chicago
the result of no regulations?
