Exploding Targets A Dangerous Combination For Some
I can't say that I ever thought much of exploding targets, as most of them seem to be (a) deployed by what a friend of mine calls "range goobs," and are (b) more about low-budget Hollywood than seriously training for accuracy. And the collectivist enemy certainly pounces on anything that feeds the "gun owners are all stupid, drunken louts" meme. I mean, blowing up refrigerators? Really?

Boomershoot: 1-2 MOA targets at 380-700 yards. Seeing/hearing/feeling the explosion after pulling the trigger is great positive feedback.
we have demonstrated here a stunning lack of critical thinking.
if you would have handed these same people a pound of plastic explosives and a remote detonator of some kind instead of the explosive targets, they'd have actually taken cover! they wouldn't let her stand out in the open. but they were thinking they were just shooting targets that pop, even though it says on the side and in the manual how dangerous it is.
also, there's no way some nice little lady walked up obliviously to a party of folks that had bought this stuff, took an old fridge and put three pounds of it in there to see what would happen. this was not their first shot on it, they tried smaller ones, they added confined spaces somewhere along the line, and they knew what was gonna happen. and it's pretty certain she saw the first few shots.
Three words:
Country stump removal.
If somebody had put a fertilizer bomb in a refrigerator, and she stood too close with a camera to get video of it, would she be suing Monsanto for making fertilizer, the gas station for selling diesel fuel, the refrigerator maker or the camera maker?
What the woman should have done was back away to a safe distance to film, all the while telling the guy behind the rifle " get closer! I want to get you and the explosion in the same frame! It'll be like natural selection!"
Instead, she sues the manufacturer. Nice.
Are you *seriously* saying that exploding targets are bad just because some idiots hurt themselves, while many others (myself included) have had a lot of safe fun with them?
That logic is pretty familiar, lemme see where I've heard that line before...Oh, right: "Guns are bad because some people get killed, even though many people have had a lot of safe fun with them."
You should think this through.
On August 1, 2013 Obama signed an Executive Order directing the EPA, BATFE, FBI, and other federal agencies to come up with ways to clamp down on the use, sale, manufacturing, and transportation of ammonium nitrate which is the majority component in "tannerite type" exploding targets. Exploding target compounds were specifically mentioned and the security organs were directed to find ways to effectively ban it from civilian use. So far the Ag industry and other parties that use AN for business purposes have lobbied the hell out of the government to leave things alone.
This story is part of a psyop opinion shaping campaign to build public opinion to be in favor of banning tannerite like explosives. After all they are dangerous. Look at what those dirty savages in Iraq and Afghanistan have been able to do with it. Expect more stories like this in the future.
Pay attention to stories like this. They tell you what to stock up discreetly because the powers that be are looking at restricting access to it. Remember the secret squirrels are watching all electronic transactions when you do your shopping though.
Americans don't need assault weapons, body armor, or easy to make explosives. The democratic party told me so.
Just remember to put the word MARXIST in front of the words Democratic Party.
Because it wasn't always so.
It won't be long before you can also apply that term to the Republicans as well.
The common denominator would seem to be the term itself (Marxist) and it's meaning and history.
