today in drug war: piperidine (a useful chemical) is scheduled because it's used in production of PCP (a shitty dissociative). naturally, the former is hard to obtain and the latter is widely available, so i've realized that if you needed piperidine you could make it from PCP
red P? sure. conc H2O2? cheaper by the barrel. hydrazine? as much as you want by mail order. H2SO4 is a no-no though can't have people messing with that

Again that only acts as a filter for dangerously stupid people, you want the others blocked as well? Or all available, what about nuclear materials? So I can run my house electricity generator off a stirling engine using the heat from a big lump of plutonium, and no CO2 produced!

you're arguing with a strawman
-
No because I really could do useful stuff with nuclear materials and not that far from where I am there is a lot of thorium etc. Also you can't claim the use of a fallacy without logically demonstrating why it is, otherwise the only proven fallacy is your claim.
-
you're arguing with a strawman because your analogy implies that the dangers posed by H2SO4(conc) and Pu are comparable, which is so absurd that I fail to see the point of discussing this any further
-
But you can make H2SO4, if you are smart enough, it only stops the idiots, even if it inconveniences other people. Subcritical and shielded Pu is not dangerous NASA uses it all the time, some people are dangerous. It is about filtering out access for dangerous and stupid people.

this is the least creative attempt at trolling i have seen in months
-
I am not trolling, most space missions and a lot of satellites use radionuclide generators. Nobody freaks out about that being turned to dust in an launch failure and spread all over the Earth, because they trust the people at NASA to be smart enough to do it safely. Filters!
