While I agree that buying large amounts should require a permit or some kind of oversight, it is still fertilizer primarily.
And as fertilizer it has been prilled which would make it very dificult to use, as is, in an explosive device.

I still believe OKC wouldn't have happened if WACO hadn't shown how much of our government at the time was in the hands of ruthless killers;or if the lies and murders of Ruby Ridge or Waco weren't blamed on the victims. McVeigh chose to particpate in OKC bombing ,I think,out of frustrated anger at what many saw as injustice.He's safely dead.He can hurt no one else(especially by talking.)
So why punish a million farmers who already deal with too much government?
Here is just another incident of leftist scum pretending to be reporting news,all the while fabricating stories intended to justify their own calls for more unconstitutional limits on American freedom.
The 19th century had its yellow journalism,and the latter 20th and early 21st have RED,as in Communist journalists.
What's a "large amount?" Half a ton is 1,000 pounds, or 20 50-lb. bags, a piddling amount for large agricultural operations. Instead of outlawing it, it's easier to just outlaw ABC and Brian Ross. At least ammonium nitrate is useful.
And Saddam Hussiens square miles of pesticides were also precursors. Yet ABC ignored huge stockpiles of pesticides as a precursor for WMD, yet they want to make that charge against our Adminstration and the President? Can you spell Hypocrit?
Soooo.....in many Hardwood stores, Lowes, Home Depot, etc. ......cans of Spray Paint is kept in locked cages....So why should they NOT monitor something that could be used for harm, as in potential bomb makings?
Why hassle thousands of farmers, and landscapers? Terrorists or others bent on misusing the stuff will just buy it in small lots. At WalMart, Lowes, HomeDepot, etc, etc, etc.
