If you had loaned him your car, he found a loose shotgun shell under the seat, then turned you in and you lost your license and was charged accordingly, how would you feel then?

Funny. The anti's and the Fudds say the same thing about your AR.
There is the key word "illegal"
Bottom line is making home made explosives is illegal.
I'm not sure why you feel compelled to drag out an argument here on the forum about a guy building pipe bombs in his garage and make replies like... "You're absolutely right. We'd better take away your guns, just in case you decide to shoot someone."
How does it all affect you? Was the guy a friend of yours? Do you have anything illegal at home that someone shouldn't see? If so do you hang around gun shops and brag about it?
Like I said before, I don't know the whole story, only what was reported by the news and we all know how they never leave anything out. What I do know is I don't care if it was Jim that called the cops on this guy or some old lady that lived next door.
The "logic" of some people on this board stuns me. Sheppard did a good thing because this guy was engaging in something that is incredibly dangerous, legalities aside. I'm with you MrTwigg.

I think you are assuming something which you have absolutely no way of knowing the truth of. There is a big difference between what is a technical violation of the law to most people and making a device that if detonated, even accidentally, can kill or injure a lot of people. I'm assuming you've seen the aftermath of unintentional bomb detonations, either in pictures or in person.
Seems like some people have no sense of proportion here.

Like an idiot for leaving an unsecured shotgun under my seat and then lending someone my car.
You are so stretching this that's its become a self parody. My theoretical AR is perfectly legal. Making bombs is a violation of state law. Chapter 266: Section 102A. Infernal machine; possession; definition; notice of seizure.
It's a ten year felony. Might be because experience has shown that when someone makes one of these, they tend to use it sooner or later.

I wish one of the lawyers would weigh in on the legality of building bombs on your property - just as a hobby with no intent to use them to harm yourself or others.

It's illegal, judging from the charges filed.
Driving drunk, shooting drunk, building pipe bomb's drunk. All will cause you problem's.
What's wrong with drunk driving? As long as you don't hit someone or something, it shouldn't be illegal
I see cops pounding beers at the bar all the time. And they don't ride their bicycle there.

Martlet, can you tell me that there's not somebody that you ever met somewhere that you wouldn't want with a garage full of pipe bombs?
If you picture the pipe bomb guy as an otherwise normal merry prankster, then I can see why you'd stick up for him.
What if he was a creepy, leering, wife beating drunken scumbag?
Same with the 99% of the other patrons of the bar.
I'm torn. A good part of me says "mind your own effing business".
I should call the cops on my neighbor. He smokes pot.
Hypocrisy?
To arrest someone for DUI one night....
Then go get shitfaced and drive home the very next night?
