Laws apparently work pretty well to prevent bad actors from legally buying explosives, and you won't ever hear a politico claim the only way to stop a bad guy with a bomb is a good guy with a bomb.
Heck, government has no problem tracking who we legally sell decongestant medicine to, but guns? That's a privacy violation, or it's the federal government trying to take muh guns away, or "it's impossible".
The idiocy seemingly has no limit.
