Ha! Ha! No they can't declare lead or Potassium Nitrate or anything they want a public health hazard and ban it. No they can't declare Big Gulps Public Enemy Number 1 either.

Regulation of Chemicals is not banning.

Thanks for the laugh. Oh, that it were true.

Take a deep breath and consider the distinction calmly. I recognize the State's duty to insure the safety of the public from misuse of dangerous substances. Chemicals ARE dangerous, and a release of Chlorine gas has the potential to kill thousands of innocent people. In an effort to insure that incompetent people are not handling dangerous Chemicals, they are regulated by State and Federal agencies.

Regulation is not banning. They are still available for use by Demonstrably competent people to use for making products which require them. Ammunition is one such product. I have no objection to the Government insuring that Ammunition is produced with the Public's safety in mind.

Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is a chemical and an exorbitant tax is a de facto ban but if you wish to trust the government, feel free. I, for one, remain skeptical.

I have no objection to the Government insuring that Ammunition is produced with the Public's safety in mind.

Nope, I can't trust the government to ensure the safety of anything involving my Second Amendment rights (and damn little else).
