Not Nipsy Russell said:I'd like to push for clear legalization of non-pyrotechnic, recreational explosives in small amounts. Tannerite, despite Dan Tanner's protestations, is not legally mixable or useable in WA without all kinds of licensing and hazmat equipment.
Good writeup here from 2008, but still relevant.
Anyone have any sugestions on where I can find info about SBR/SBS statistics and facts? I'd hate to write a letter that amounts to nothing more than "SBS/SBRs should be legal because I like them."
If we're going to pull this off we're going to need some real industry support and we would have to be on our A-Game (No bumbling bumbleheads in greasy t-shirts, please. You might be a great guy and a staunch supporter of our 2AF rights, but you're really not our strongest representative).
