Well this is the crux of the problem.

Let's say for the sake of argument that you can legally make a bomb as a weapon under the rights stated in your constitution, and you intend to use it on someone. Why is it legal for you to do that, but it's not legal for you to be arrested because you have that weapon and you're planning on killing someone with it. Why is it only legal to arrest you after you've done the killing?

Surely that makes no moral sense what so ever.
