You know, if I buy enough smoke detectors I can make a dirty bomb too.

Not that I have any intent or desire to, but is that what's next?  Heck,
next thing you know they'll be saying we should outlaw guns.  I've never
been a fan of them, but if the argument holds for a firearm, I don't see
why it can't hold true for other items.

Ammonium nitrate doesn't kill people, people kill people.  And I wish 
they'd stop.
