Banned because it's good for making bombs?

I went in search of some MEK today as acetone
to the Samsung toner is pretty much about as
useful as water.
Home Depot, Lowes, and Orchard Supply Hardware
all no longer carry MEK. Orchard Supply still
has the shelf tags, but HD and Lowe's have removed
all traces of the stuff. The guy at Lowes
said they pulled it all off the shelves about
4 months ago.
I'm in California. Has the stuff been banned here?
