You Don't Carry What? For Why? Really? REALLY?

I was in the checkout line at the market when a guy asks the checker,
"Where's the ammonia?" The checker says, "I don't think we carry that
anymore." The checker looks to the ass't. manager, who's bagging
groceries, for confirmation. "Yeah," the ass't. manager says, "it can
be used to make bombs, so we don't carry it anymore."

You have to be kidding me. You HAVE to be kidding me. What's next? You
can't get fertilizer at Home Depot?

LOL, really? Anyone with a halfway decent grasp of high school
chemistry can make a bomb out of lots of things, including flour.

Are they going to ban that next?

Makes sense, it is important to be politically correct and not offend
certain groups who are known for doing stuff so instead offend and
inconvenience everyone..

I remember one time trying to buy a grill lighter and being told they
were all pulled and couldn't be sold. I asked at the one federal
facility where I work and the security guy showed me if it was a b-5.m
(making that up) alert condition stores couldn't sell certain items
among those being lighters.

I already had the lighter, I just needed the butane refill. Looked all
over the store. I got to the register and the clerk said it was too bad
I had spent the time looking, they were locked up. She went and got me
one.

We use most of ours for cleaning paint brushes. Also use it in laundry
and on windows.

Bombs are for showoffs-- if I wanted to kill someone with my ammonia,
I'd mix it with Clorox and gas them.

Flour. Have you heard of Fuel/Air Explosives? (FAE) You blow a
large cloud of flour into the air, a primary explosive is convenient
but compressed air will do the job. Then you ignite it. Boom.
Big-badda-boom.

Grain elevators have to be extremely careful it doesn't happen to
them by accident.

As soon as Diane Feinstein or Charles Schumer hear about this, you
won't be able to buy flour in the store any more. So please, nobody
mention it to them. Good thing they are illiterate.

Ammonia and lye were both removed from the shelves around the same
time you had to ask for pseudoephedrine and now sign for it. What do
they all have in common? Methamphetamine production.

I bought some pseudo yesterday for the first time since the ban and I
has to electronically sign something that said "I have read and
acknowledge the PSE agreement". I asked what it was and the pharmacy
guy wasn't sure. I asked for a copy and they didn't have one. I
signed it anyway.

The net effect of banning all those household chemicals here means
that production moved to Mexico where they can manufacture it really
cheap and twice as strong in dedicated labs (prior to that
manufacturing took place in hotel bathtubs).

We outsource our drug production and then we wonder why the drug
cartels are so powerful and violent.

None of that is going away until the "esteemed pillars of the community"
stop using drugs. We just want to pretend we are doing something by
making an occasional arrest of "average" folks...

The standing joke here is the local judge who handles most of the drug
cases. He does his best to keep the economy going in Columbia and
wherever else they grow the stuff while getting his face in every photo
op for being "tough on drug offenders".

A recent bomb plot was foiled when a Colorado beauty shop supply store
reported a man buying large amounts of peroxide. I guess bottle blondes
will be more rare in the future.

I sympathize, but when a bomb does go off, the reaction is "Our govt.
should have been aware of that." I don't understand how you can have
it both ways.

I am all for making what are now illegal drug manufacture and
consumption legal. Consider it a Darwinian spin to our national
economic health. The drugs could be made in the open in FDA approved
laboratories with FDA supervision, paying taxes, Social Security, the
whole deal. Crime-for-Crack would be down, the real whack jobs could
off themselves faster, and we could empty out a *huge* chunk of
California's prison population.

OB: A warmed glass of cognac after a really great meal is about all
the drug buzz I need.

I've used ammonia for years to clean glass and soak jewelry with
precious gems. One of my earliest memories was of my sadistic mother,
who was soaking her engagement ring in a teacup of ammonia and water.
I inquired as to the contents of the teacup. She told me to sniff it
and see. She thought it was hilarious when I almost retched from the
fumes.

The only reason I went to that woman's funeral was to make sure she
was dead.

That reaction is that the government should have been aware of the plot,
not that the government should have restricted items used. It's the same
with guns as in the recent Arizona incident, restricting guns wouldn't
have made a damned bit of difference*, paying attention to the clearly
unstable person would have.

* If guns were not accessible, the perp could have just as easily driven
a truck into the crowd, firebombed the crowed with a gasoline based
bomb, or any number of other attack options with equally high
casualties.

You can buy that anywhere. Why go to t a beauty supply store where it
costs twice as much?

The story sounds weird. But criminals aren't always smart.
