Did Timothy McVeigh use a gun when he killed 168 people including 19 children?

Or did he just mix up some fertilizer?

Update:

Ok smells, fertilizer no longer has nitrogen in it.. Ya right..

Update 2:

Actually he did use a gun. He has a pistol on him. Thanks for the answers

    Hey, don't talk about Timmy, that messes up the Lib argument. I mean, bombs are illegal now and it didn't stop Timmy. Let's do some math, 26 dead in Newtown, 12 dead in Aurora, and 13 in Columbine, I guess that equals 51 about 1/3 of what Timmy did. Let's ban fertilizer.

    "he had a gun on him and would have used it if...."

    The fact remains that he didn't use a gun.You can speculate any way you like,but the facts don't change and that is that he used a van filled with fertilizer.The same type bomb can still be made today if a person has the intent on doing so.A cruder version of napalm is also not too difficult to make for those inclined to do so.People intent on doing harm will find ways to do so.

    Some people disagree with rights held by others and wish to infringe upon those rights,but are quick to protest when their personal favorites are suggested for restriction.They are willing to use falsehoods and hypothesis to support their position and even when faced with the truth are unwilling to move from their position.

    It doesn't take a gun to kill many people. It takes people without a conscience to kill people. If Obama decides he knows more than God and takes away our gun rights, the scum of America will be the ones left with guns. Other people will use knives, explosives, and all the other "weapons" to get their killing done. Only the law abiding citizens will have to make a choice about giving up their weapons and putting their families in danger or to keep their guns and make their homes and families safer. Obama is a stupid dumb-*** to try to take our legal weapons away.

    McVeigh became intensely interested in gun rights after he graduated from high school, as well as the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution, and read magazines such as Soldier of Fortune.

    Oh look another kid with no idea what he's discussing and apparently no knowledge of the reforms that the fertilizer industry has gone through since the right-wing attack in Oklahoma city.

    What next you'll bring up the proto tea party Bath Michigan school bombing, completely unaware of how the sale of dynamite is more regulated than it was a hundred years go?

    No, he was just another guy that had no respect for human life. Maybe that's the problem? Lack of human respect? We need to return the the laws of God.
