Commercial fertilizer is highly controlled for this very reason...if the US federal government decided to put the same limits on firearms as it does on ammonium nitrate, there would be 2nd amendment infringement cries all over the states.
Heck, you guys accept greater control over your cars than your guns. Imagine if someone tried to legislate a requirement that you'd need a license that would require passing a test, just to operate a gun? Requiring that you register all your guns, and register when you sell them, and put license plates on them with numbers kept in a national system so they could track down the owner? Requiring that if you wanted to carry in public, that you have liability insurance just in case? Oh the horror! lol.
So no, don't pull that silly 'lets ban _____ too!' bs.

Driving a car isn't a constitutional right but the right to bear arms is.

We want you to get a job, period - we do not want to extend the option of welfare as a choice, which is how it seems you think things should work.
I want to ask you, point blank, Matt:
Of the panaply of choices an able-bodied person can make, do you actually think welfare should be on the menu?
A yes-or-no answer will be sufficient.

yikes. i was living in a city where a magnesium plant caught fire once. THAT was scary.

A lot of info on this is still sketchy, they are afraid that the main tank of fertilizer may also blow. (For perspective, it was only about $500 worth of fertilizer used in the Oklahoma City bombing, I can't even imagine how bad the damage would be if an entire plant supply blew up.)

Love your new sig pic Todd.
