E enters the room...

Not exactly gun legislation but it kinda fits here with all the other BATFE bans... Forgive me if similar has already been posted.

NOTIFICATION FOR PREVIOUSLY EXEMPTED SPECIAL EXPLOSIVE DEVICES
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) has rescinded the exemptions for certain consumer-style grenades (e.g., flashbang grenades, smoke grenades) as they have been determined by ATF to pose a risk to public safety. The purpose of this letter is to provide guidance on the requirements for these explosive devices that ATF previously exempted as special explosive devices (SEDs) pursuant to the regulation at 27 CFR § 555.32.

I seem to have missed the legislation on that, another example of ATF overstepping their bounds? Hopefully?
I don't have any of those items but I've reached my limit with agencies essentially creating law from thin air.
Sick of it, what's legal today is illegal tomorrow by decree. With the stroke of a pen by an unelected bureaucrat I become an outlaw while I sleep - Bullsh*t

Thing is, there are plenty of vids out there to show how to make a lot of these. May not be as potent, but still usable.

They are on a roll and think they can do anything they want, and so far it appears so.

I wonder if these idiots considered the fact that smokes are carried as part of a Maritime rescue kit by millions of boats across the US. (Mandated with USCG approval) I have eight of them in an ammo can in the boat.
