Not to rant and rave, but just because we are talking about chemicals doesnt make us Terrorists or be put on a watch list. I could go and buy Potassium Nitrate, doesnt mean Im going to blow something up. I could be using it for pyrotechnics, or chemistry, or in our case Electronics.
It all has to do with What you actually do with the Stuff. Although, there are some rules and regs with certain chemicals. Some Gov. Agency is trying to limit sales of those chemicals to People who have rightful use to them.
Yea, I used to think the same way as you did...Then I did my own research on Government sites and found that its Not Illegal to do such things. Afterall, Wouldnt making biofuel be illegal if that were true? Your only at risk from your own stupidity.
btw, this isnt a personal attack on you. Just stating something.
