Your point, to me, is well taken. I can't imagine being a neighbor of this man when he suddenly snapped and went on a rampage. Some might argue who knows if he would have ever snapped, that's all well and good if you're not living near him.

Is it fair of my neighbor to instill fear in his fellow neighbors? What if his stash was kept secret for decades, are all those bombs good for the neighborhood? What if he dies and then his stash is discovered in some kind of explosive event?

There are probably lots of people doing exactly that, who are running meth labs or dealing drugs like Fentanyl with minimal scrutiny from federal law enforcement.

However, instead of going after those criminals, the FBI has placed its focus on sending a SWAT team to arrest someone who downloaded the wrong 3D print file or ordered a spicy plastic gun accessory on the Internet. That’s a disingenuous application of the law by people who have an agenda, not an approach that’s actually intended to reduce harm.

The article implies that the FBI was aware of his large collection of extremely dangerous explosives at the time they arrested him. It doesn't mention a SWAT team, but I'll take your word for that, but do note that there had to be a bomb disposal team because some of the bombs were too sensitive to remove and had to be exploded on-site.

Why do you think the fbi is giving a pass to drugs? There's ample evidence that they devote a lot of resources to it.

Your reply to my reply has nothing to do with what I said! I suspect yours has a veiled political/2nd amendment agenda.

Again, and please read this slowly, to be a decent, caring, good neighbor is not to have them worried about what you're building in your garage. Your reply cares nothing if one of his kids or neighborhood playmates happens upon one of his bombs that could lead to a potential explosion.
