On another thread I had someone claim SN was very expensive. It sounded strange to me, because as far as I know, SN isn't a controlled or restricted substance and in theory should be accessible to costumers, and is quite accessible where I live, so I decided to look if it was the case in the United States.
I found this bill that had apparently passed the House of Representatives in 2024 but hasn't been ratified yet, which would effectively turn SN into a controlled substance.
I have no stake in this since I'm not American, but I haven't seen it mentioned before so I'm making this thread. Any thoughts?
To me it sounds like a pretty stupid initiative to come from the US. Guns, which are one of the most effective methods, are widely available and legally protected there, and they want to, what, eliminate one niche and relatively peaceful alternative? Would it be better for them for someone to paint a room with their brains? It makes no sense to me... I feel like it'd be fairly obvious enough someone willing to go through a day-long procedure to CTB using a meat curing agent would be determined enough to just pull a trigger.
