I am introducing it again today in the hope that this bill will. in some small way. prevent future bombingswhether by terrorists of symbolic targets. malcontents of random ones. or even spouses involved in marital disputes. While we have increasingly restricted the number of people who can obtain and use a firearm. we have been lax in extending these prohibitions to explosives. For instance. while we prohibit illegal aliens from obtaining a gun. we allow them to obtain explosives without restriction. And someone who has been dishonorably discharged from the armed forces can no longer buy a gun. but can purchase a truckload full of explosives. The same is true for people who have renounced U.S. citizenship. people who have acted in such a way as to have restraining orders issued against them. and those with domestic violence convictions.
