I don't read the way the bill defines "prepackaged explosive component" to include powder.

 

 

   I don’t think so either, smokeless powder burns fast but does not explode.  You must have it contained so it will build up pressure to simulate an explosion.  Don’t have any first hand knowledge but it is my understanding black powder will explode.  Jim.

You want to know why leftist Karens Karen? All they know how to do is hate America. 

When you think about fireworks are most often used on the Fourth of July to celebrate Independence Day, which The Karen’s hate, go WAAAAY back to around the time of the founding when people had cannons, they could\would fire the cannons for celebrations, AND AHAD THEM FOR SELF DEFENSE. 
So why ban fireworks in Illinois, under the guise of safety, because the commies and Marxists what to separate you more and more from the founding/ history of the country. It’s been a slow march to get here but little by little, drop by drop, and we may as well start playing the Russian and Chinese national anthems daily in Illinois

So I admit I haven't followed this whole string, I have a LOT of first hand experience with black powder, heck there was dynamite at the hardware store when I was a kid. 

Forget about getting smokeless powder to explode and only one type of black powder will explode, I'll leave out which. 

If you look at the Boston bomb that sure looked a heck of a lot like black powder to me, I have blown up a pound of black powder in an old vacuum chamber.  (well honestly I've blown up many pounds of black powder in many ways)  It's pretty substantial, in fact it destroyed part of my range and I had to rebuild.   Black power without being contained SIGNIFICANTLY really is cool and makes lot of smoke but won't do a lot.   The secrete to the 4th issue is good containment without resulting in death or fragments destroying things not nearby. 

 

Banning tannerite is like banning a peanut butter sandwich without banning bread (or using amazon for the parts) it's pretty stupid.

I heard this morning the Blackhawks are using a few of their Russian players as their excuse for not wearing homosexual flags during warm up.  Not sure if they are folding for Putin or just using that so they don't have to participate in a mental game.
