Very few such people have either the desire or the expertise to construct bombs, I suspect, and most people who plant bombs do indeed to so to make a political "statement".

Anyone with the desire to kill as many people as possible will choose whatever weapon they think will get the job done.
It takes no expertise whatsoever to make a bomb. Please do try to get your head around that. None. No expertise. A pipe, some nails, and some very easy to access chemicals.
Several of the boys who have carried out school shootings here in the US also built and brought bombs along with them.
My point is, if you want to kill a lot of people, and you don't have a gun, you can still (very easily) kill a lot of people.
I remember a case here in the US where a guy woke up one day really pissed at the world, blocked the exits to a building and torched the place. He didn't have access to a gun ..... big whoopie. He still killed a lot of people. Or maybe they never died because he didn't have access to a gun??
People are creative, Harry. Especially people who want to kill people. Most especially people who really want to kill a lot of people. That's my point.
