Maybe it'll turn out that one of those got sold to the gun store where what's-his-face bought his gun.JeepGuy79 wrote:I wish it had been guns from the whole fast and furious ATF fiasco used in this tragedy.
Thanks. I wasn't sure about the legality of owning such items and was hoping to illustrate the futility of making them illegal. I agree with your assessment of the cylinders, however, there are simple ways (which I will also not go into) to make smoke grenades into tear gas-like munitions. That could have been the case here.JP171 wrote:yea ban guns, kneee jerk reaction of the ignorant. the only thing I have heard about the supposed "grenades" is that the perp threw 2 green canisters. first all smoke"grenades" and CS "grenades" do not fall under the gestapo's definition of a destructive device and therefore are completely legal to own without a tax stamp and a 200 dollar fee. so a legal to own item, hmm no reason to have a cow over that, second the color described by the news(yea I know) does not indicate a CS device it indicates white smoke, can be obtained at a large number of surplus stores while CS cannot as it is regulated. there is a color difference to white smoke and CS that I will NOT explain here and white or colored smoke cannisters are considered to be an irritant respiratory, mucosal and skin, thats why the cannisters say to use in a well ventillated area. so until they describe a CS cannister they were white smoke generators not Grenades of any sort
