sound like microwaves: cook you from the inside out

I can't have a bazooka, but they can cook folks...

Obscenity for the sake of obscenity. Okay you have shocked me.Pleased?

wasn't lookin' to shock anyone...it's a legit observation...I'll rephrase it as a question: why can the state cook people with microwaves, but I can't own a bazooka? Now, as an assertion: if the state can cook a man with microwaves, I should be able to own a bazooka

my employees shouldn't have better toys than me

Yeah, but what toys have you made for yourself? Should the United States be restricted to fighting wars with the things you can put together in your garden shed?

if that's the standard then no gov ought to play with anything better than staffs and bows and arrows

no gov builds weapons: they buy 'em

there was a site -- improv weapons or somesuch -- that highlighted homemade and makeshift firearms (pipe shotguns, zip guns, that sorta thing)...I could do that, so -- usin' uwot's standard -- I graciously license my employees to do the same

get crackin', bureaucrats! bet my potato gun beats yours

the anarchist's cookbook is available

homemade napalm is fun

you mean how destructive, yeah?

what's the most bad ass thing right now?

that's your startin' point...supply & demand...fission & fusion bombs, antimatter bombs, singularity generators, psychotronic disruptors, old-fashioned disintegrators, rail guns, and on and on


and: while it's not original to him, advocate (re)introduced free zone to my personal lexicon, so, henceforth I shall refer to the natural rights libertarian minarchy I favor as free zone or the 'murican free zone

thanks, advocate, old buddy...
