Aurora Bomb

Police investigate explosion in downtown Aurora building (link)

AURORA -- An explosive device detonated in a downtown Aurora building Saturday morning, damaging dozens of windows on two levels.

The force of the blast destroyed dozens of windows on the first two levels on the west side of the building.

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosions, Aurora Police, the Kane County Sheriff Department’s Bomb Squad, Aurora Fire Department Arson Investigators are conducting the investigation into the explosion.

When the hell are we going to wake up and BAN the bomb already?! The answer is simple - if bombs weren't available to the public, this wouldn't happen. There is no reason why anyone who is not employed in law enforcement or building demolition needs a bomb. Isn't it enough that our men and women in uniform are being blown to bits by roadside bombs, now we're getting blown up at home? If we'd only stop glamorizing bombs in video games and movies this sort of senseless bombing would end!

(ahem) But if everyone was able to carry bombs, we'd all be safer. Statistics show that states where citizens are allowed to carry concealed bomb packs under their jackets... uh, you're more likely to be blown to bits at the café...
