So is it perfectly acceptable to kill people with home made guns and bombs for the progression of technology? This is actually terrorism. I see someone creating guns and killing people to be no different than boston bombers.

Technology is not the criminal here. Direct the resources and the anger at the criminals. If we spent half the time on dealing with the real issues (Hate and Prejudice) that we spent on trying to get rid of items that can kill people we would be far more effective at dealing with this problem. I'm just saying.

  Actually the real issue is the widely available capacity to put 15 bullet holes in a person in 10 seconds. Let's solve that issue first, then we can worry about "Hate and Prejudice".

    That means you kill two people every magazine. That's not so bad. This isn't really an issue--a properly aimed revolver would be more dangerous. Remember, gun control means hitting your target.

    That's not "the real issue" here either. Such a capacity has a negligible impact on crime, let alone gun crime.

I'm less laid back regarding this than most of the people in this thread (I think it is a problem) but your comment is ridiculous. First of all what has this got to do with bombs? It's a story about a home made gun. Also: Terrorism: The use of violence and intimidation in the pursuit of political aims. Until someone uses this to cause terror it isn't terrorism. >> "I see someone creating guns and killing people to be no different than boston bombers." For a start no one has been killed with this gun. People are killed with guns every day - that does not constitue terrorism. The Boston bombers committed mass murder of innocent people and caused 'terror' in Boston - that is terrorism.

  This gun is godsend for terrorists. It is a gun that you can easily create at home, and it can be carried on planes and other high risk places without detection. This is even better than bombs for terrorism. Additionally, mass murders with guns kill more people in US than terrorism. Why shouldn't we classify New Town and Aurora shooting as terrorism? Terrorism is not only about politics. Moreover, guns are probably the most political thing in US. Thanks to NRA.

    "mass murders with guns kill more people in US than terrorism." Both of those numbers are approximately 0. It's not number of people killed that matters in a terror attack.

    Better than bombs for terrorism? Tell that to the plane hijackers of 911 or to McVeigh. You're not making any sense. Why are you so scared of guns?

    A gun on a plane is widely useless post 9-11. One of the sane responses to those attacks was a requirement that bullet proof cockpit doors be installed on all aircrafts.

Yeah, you're right. The Oklahoma City bomb was homemade, and as we all recall, for that reason it was widely considered a completely justified bombing.

The answer is obvious. Is it ok to kill someone with a kitchen knife, or a frying pan? What world do you live in where these answers aren't obvious? Your comment adds no value to this discussion whatsoever.
