Tannerite, black powder and some explosives can be legally bought and owned cash and carry. It's quite likely no law was broken and all they found was a questionable pistol brace on a short lower.
Remember FPSRussia went down for paint on a serial number and a few vape pens but the arrest bulletin made him sound like a madman.
- loamaa 2y agoI was interested, so went and checked out the filing for this [1], it looks like he only got hit with the possession with intent to distribute, with the other 3 charges (including 'possession of a firearm with an obliterated serial number') being dismissed.

- WatchDog 2y agoHe took a plea deal, might have beaten the charges at trial, but the consequences of losing were way too high for him, can’t really blame him.
- d883kd8 2y agoAre you sure that's the same case? That links says, "Last Updated: Oct. 7, 2022, 6:14 a.m." and the defendant name is different from in the OP. This appears to be the actual case: https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/69482949/united-states-v-spafford/ https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/69482949/united-states-...
- aspenmayer 2y agoYou're both right, but your comment is confusing the issue. You're linking to the relevant case for TFA, whereas parent is linking to the relevant case for this thread regarding FPSRussia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FPSRussia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FPSRussia

- sgarland 2y agoIt remains bewildering to me that tannerite is legal to purchase in large quantities without question. I shot 1 lb. of it once with a Mosin-Nagant, and that was enough to rattle the house a few hundred yards away. There are people who have set off charges orders of magnitude more than that, which apparently can be felt MILES away. It’s an explosive, full stop. I have no problem with the premade targets that have a small amount, but honestly, the larger quantities should require at a minimum a background check.
- bravetraveler 2y agoI know little about this... but small amounts could still pose an issue. See: mules, Pseudoephedrine
- lazide 2y agolook up TATP. you aren’t going to be able to ban those ingredients either.
- mschuster91 2y agoGermany manages to do so just fine. It's virtually impossible to obtain hydrogen peroxide in enough high concentration and volume to produce significant amounts of TATP without setting off more than a few alerts. Almost all popular precursor chemicals for drugs and explosives are heavily controlled in Europe.
