Re: NH4N03 (ammonium nitrate)- There are other explosives that are still possible - this is like removing all the lighters but leaving the matches. I don't think it is good policy to name specific formulations, but anyone with some knowledge of chemistry can set off a conflagration. I know of a number of formulations that would NEVER set off the regulatory "alarms". They use readily available industrial materials that are not specifically controlled. Some don't even require chemicals... I love fireworks - but they have been illegal in most states that I live (unless you go to the local Indian Reservation) When I went to the UK they sold some really amazing rockets that were almost like artillery rounds - 600 foot rises with 150' diameter flowers. I thought this is cool and bought several at 3 for 10 pounds (about $6 each). I figured I would get some 1" lady finger firecrackers - nope - THOSE were illegal. LOL!!! We'll sell you scaled down bazooka rounds, but not a firecracker. Laws is crazy things.
