Fedgov is really starting to crack down on civilian chemical ownership. Model rocketry has been hard hit, and amateur pyrotechnics has been hit as well, for instance flash powder is now a “high explosive” and sugar-potassium nitrate too.

People that run RC cars and planes find it harder and harder to get nitromethane.

Who knows what the 46 chemicals were in this case? The article did not say. KNO3, pyro aluminum, sulfur? Was this guy an amateur pyrotechnics type, there are clubs devoted to this, or was he truly dangerous?

I think that the data from Iraq, that roadside bombs can make American newspapers declare defeat, has started to have an impact on American law enforcement.

Soon, most chemicals that could possibly be used to make even the weakest destructive devices will be either banned, or closely watched. I've seen many articles recently about people with “bomb making materials” in trouble with the law.

There are many aspects to civil disarmament, this is one.

Won't be long until you can't even have a decent anvil firing.

OMG! I have barbaque fuel, bug repellant and meat preservative at home!

I also have fertilizer and fuel oil! Am I doomed?

I can’t use the fertilizer on the ground due to new runnoff rules and how do I get rid of fuel oil without polluting something?

True.  Any police state will attempt to completely monopolize the possible use of force. 

 
46 different chemicals commonly used to make explosives.

Yeah, I saw that and was immediately suspicious of this article. It means nothing or anything, depending upon your perspective.

I wouldn't trust someone from the BATF to to predict the rising of the sun. They are that duplicitous.
