7.2 - Explosives and Incendiaries, detonation

[Murtsley]

Is this a new law or a change to a current law: Either add a new one or change the existing law.

What law do you wish to change/add: 7.2/7.3 (And shuffle the rest up)

Spoiler: Full 7.2 definition

7.2 Explosives and Incendiaries
It is illegal for a person to manufacture, possess, sell, or transport an explosive/incendiary device or to use or detonate an explosive or incendiary device.


Misdemeanor - liable to 3 years maximum imprisonment, $3,000 maximum fine and asset forfeiture.

Why should this change/addition be made: Currently for the detonation of an explosive device the maximum imprisonment is 3 years as it's listed as a misdemeanor. I suggest either the addition of the detonation of explosives/incendiaries law in itself and that it becomes a felony, or outline the guided length so that detonation is a felony.

What is the aim of this change/addition: An individual whom detonates an explosive will receive the different punishment to that of an individual whom possesses one.

Additional Information: None

Murtsley has highlighted a very good point here. It seems that mugging someone or reckless driving serves a more punishable sentence than the detonation of an explosive.

I know this game is not real life but it does try to emulate it. In real life, me detonating an explosive (whether it be a grenade in a field or a bomb etc) will result in an extremely harsh prison sentence. I believe it should be the same here with perp.

tl;dr :murtsley: is right big bangs are bad
