Watching this made me thing that a lot of RW gun nuts probably support Ukraine resistance to the invasion. They picture themselves out there shooting up Russians, then sitting around drinking beers an yucking it up. They don’t think about the Russians shooting back or the destruction of their towns. But I guess if it gets them to support Ukraine that’s the main thing.

9. Those are readily available at any gun shop "Tannerite" you can buy it in several sizes.

You hit them with a bullet they explode. I saw another video of a guy shooting a microwave oven full of the stuff
the door blew off the oven and just missed the idiot's head. Some of my neighborhood nuts put several hundred dollars' worth
of them together and shot them. It literally shook the ground a mile away, people called 911 thinking a gas well exploded.
I don't know how they are legal? You place them somewhere and shoot from a distance to kill someone. Of course these guys
are lucky to hit the broad side of a barn.

I guess the reason it can be sold is it comes from a two part kit and neither component is regulated. Not sure why you’d need an explosive target, beyond me wanting to shoot an old model battleship with my .22 when I was a teen. Loading up an appliance with a few pounds of this stuff isn’t really a very challenging target anyway, thanks for enlightening men

Exactly what part of "well regulated militia" does "targets that can be turned into high explosives" fit into?

worth of that together and blew it up. The ground literally shook at my house at least a mile away. There were several calls to
911 people thinking a gas well or pipeline exploded. One good thing the Tannerite targets are very expensive so that eliminates
the number of nutjobs that can get it. From the looks of most MAGAts shacks they would be lucky to afford a firecracker.
