That was the jist of their justification, then automatically deeming it as an immediate hazardous material without any scientific proof in the actual bill text. I have heard it a couple times, and seen it in the comments here. people like Qirk (Rep. who put forth the bill) who heavily support the bill Have likely already in advanced purchased companies ready to produce these steel and tungsten alternatives, ready to rape the mom and pops, and fisherman alike of what they can pillage..

Just my two cents
