Live Free And Kill

CBS is reporting on the source of the explosives that were used to construct their bombs.

In turns out that Tamerlan with his Russian accent and Massachusetts drivers license went to New Hampshire [state motto: Live Free or Die (it’s on their license plates)] and bought two of Phantom Fireworks “Lock and Load” reloadable Mortar kits. Each of these fun-filled kits contains 4 launch tubes and 24 shells. The shells each contain a combined weight of 60 grams of propellant, coloring agents, and black powder. As black powder is 50% of the weight, it amounts to 1.44 kilograms [3.175 pounds] of black powder. The kits cost $200 apiece, and are illegal in Massachusetts [for damn good reasons]. I assume that the shells also contained some timed fuses that would be of use to an aspiring pyrotechnician.

This was all perfectly legal in New Hampshire because “free markets and FREEDOM!” New Hampshire holds the first Presidential primary, and the people who win there are actually considered to be viable candidates. Why?
