https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tannerite

Tannerite is a brand of binary explosive targets used for firearms practice and sold in kit form.[1][2] The targets comprise a combination of oxidizers and a fuel, primarily aluminium powder, that is supplied as two separate components that are mixed by the user. The combination is relatively stable when subjected to forces less severe than a high-velocity bullet impact. A hammer blow, the product being dropped, or impact from a low-velocity bullet or shotgun blast will not initiate a reaction. It is also designed to be non-flammable[3] (the reaction cannot be triggered by a burning fuse or electricity), although its explosion can ignite flammable material.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C-4_(explosive)

C-4 or Composition C-4 is a common variety of the plastic explosive family known as Composition C, which uses RDX as its explosive agent. C-4 is composed of explosives, plastic binder, plasticizer to make it malleable, and usually a marker or odorizing taggant chemical. C-4 has a texture similar to modelling clay and can be molded into any desired shape. C-4 is metastable and can be exploded only by the shock wave from a detonator or blasting cap.

I don't know, this sounds rather illegal to me and not a light-hearted joke in support of your buddy Boebert.

Ok, FBI and Capitol Police need to have a chat with BOTH Boebert and Gaetz.

[FoxNewsSucks]

1. Why isn't he in jail awaiting trial for underage sex trafficking????

JFC, why are all of these criminals walking free and continuing to incite violence?

[SoCalDavidS]

5. Because This Is America

And there is seldom ANY accountability.

A GREAT BIG LOL to all those still waiting for TFG to be charged or arrested. LOL!!!

[cstanleytech]

14. "And there is seldom ANY accountability." Well not if you are wealth and or are a well connected

Republican.

[Qutzupalotl]

10. Because his co-conspirator Greenberg

has been granted one last extension of his trial so he can sing some more.

[Me.]

2. Big Man Talk From A Weenie

[Baked Potato]

3. JHC, that's not funny at all. Very specific details. Nt

[SheilaAnn]

4. He's such a jerk...

[randr]

6. Lock him up for just the suggestion

[2naSalit]

8. +1

In his case, it could be considered incitement.

[pwb]

7. What they need is a Breathalyzer test before

they enter the chamber. Stop the mean puke drunks from speaking on the floor.

[Walleye]

9. After that we're supposed to trust this moron with a gun?

[70sEraVet]

11. Just institute a 'zero tolerance' policy for Congress men and women

and expell them when they make such threats, just like we do to middle schoolers.

[FakeNoose]

20. That reminds me of something I saw on Twitter the other day

[Riverman100]

12. total

fucking scum

[IronLionZion]

13. He doesn't have a political agenda so it's not terrorism

[niyad]

15. Gee, matty, practice at home first. With luck, maybe you can blow yourself up.

[euphorb]

16. In a just world, this kind of dangerous talk would get him expelled from Congress immediately.

But I'm not holding my breath, unfortunately.

[monkeyman1]

17. S.S.need's to have a chit-chat with matt'y ?

[Ford_Prefect]

18. He sounds like those speakers who invited people to "take out" abortion providers.

He seems to have some anger issues too, IMO.

Could he be telling someone else to act out his desires as a way of easing his pain? It's a tactic used by abusers and IMO Matt qualifies as one.

[George II]

19. Domestic terrorism. LOCK HIM UP even before his sex trafficking trial.

[dchill]

21. "Tannerite or C4..." Name-dropper. Wannabe.

[Kali]

22. what a preppy fratboy asshole

[flying_wahini]

23. I hope Gaetz is dumb enough to get himself in BiG trouble.

He keeps shooting his mouth off like he is an untouchable or something.
Would be a shame if he got some to fool around with and let Boebert hold the match.

[Solly Mack]

24. They talk about using explosives inside the Capitol and they haven't been arrested?

And we're supposed to believe the party of insurrectionists are joking?

I guess if it actually happens they'll say it was tourists on a peaceful trip to the Capitol and no one need make a big deal out of it.

And in the next breath tell us how no one saw it coming.

[Woodwizard]

25. Well maybe this will happen to him.

Don't watch if you are squeamish.
