Yes.
Let those who think there should be try and enforce it.
Goex sells a lot of them, a few different types.

Intimidating millions...not so much.
And if that happened to me, I’d be raising holy he!! about it.
I don’t think we have millions of people each storing hundreds of pounds of gunpowder.
As for smokeless powder, before my tragic ice fishing accident, I reloaded a few cartridges. Many took well more than 70 grains, meaning less than a 100 cartridges per pound. I don't like to change component lots in the middle of a run, so 1 pound cans are off the table.

“How about a limit on the amount of food you can own?”
got news for you. In many places, there are laws restricting how much food you can store. Germany, for example, no more than 3 days worth, any more is considered hoarding. That was as of my stay there from 1991 to 1996. I have not found any such laws here in the US, but I’d not really be surprised. I do know Mormons are considered weird by many people because they do store food (and clothing and fuel) for hard times.
