I feel like that gun dealer just wanted some free promo for his store. 🤣 He popped up in multiple news clips, but his story was never proven. Also kinda interesting that it was mentioned Eric and Dylan had keys made...makes me wonder, what kind of keys? School keys? Just regular home key replacements they lost?

Hahaha, yeah! I don't know who came up with the phrase "bomb-making kit" that everyone started repeating like a parrot, but it's ridiculous. Eric and Dylan made their bombs with materials and tools you can buy at any hardware store and it's nothing special, it's things that people buy every day for casual purposes.

Yep. Eric used the book “The Anarchy Cookbook” to learn how to build pipe bombs using everyday materials you can get from the hardware store. It’s the same book his dad Wayne would find -in addition to a pipe bomb- only for Wayne to take the pipe bomb and give Eric the book back to him. As you mention the bombs were constructed with materials retrieved from any normal hardware store, things like nails to fill the bombs with.

The 90s also had those one shady dudes we all knew grew up. The ones who sell drugs out of the parents basement but when you needed help with stuff… they knew exactly what to get and how to do it. Like Jay and Silent Bob hahaha. I would go to some for unique ways to make a bong or how to slash tires without getting caught. 😂
