The thought is the stuff should be harder to get. Nobody cares about
breaking the law, but if you can't just go to the next store and buy
whatever you need for your bomb it is that tiny little bit harder to make
it.
Of course i agree it is a totally ineffective measure because someone
prepared to blow himself up will find a (only slightly more complicated)
way to get what he needs. So breaking the law is not meant to be the
barrier, lack of availability is.
Gouvernments need to be seen doing something, looking at how things only
get worse and worse. That's just one more stupid experiment that luckily
is only annoying, not outright dangerous like some of the things they are
doing.
