Usually when something dumb like this happens you can follow the money. But I'm open to other hypotheses.

- int_19h 4y agoThe matter at hand is an outright ban, not merely standards. Although from the discussion above it's also clear that the standards are nonsensical, resulting in a ban for less dangerous products while more dangerous ones are still legal, albeit with heavier regulation. Hm, reminds me of gun laws, actually. A bolt-action rifle with a barrel under 16" requires a multi-month federal approval, while a semi-auto with a longer barrel is one instant background check away. It's almost as if people who write those laws don't have any clue, and are just chasing public opinion in their eternal popularity contest.
