Of course there is. Fully automatic weapons are banned. Certain chemicals and biologics are banned. Certain hacking tools are banned (DMCA): > The “tools” prohibitions, set out in sections 1201(a)(2) and 1201(b), outlaw the manufacturing, sale, distribution, or trafficking of tools and technologies that make circumvention possible. These provisions ban both technologies that defeat access controls, and also technologies that defeat use restrictions imposed by copyright owners, such as copy controls. These provisions prohibit the distribution of software that was designed to defeat CD copy-protection technologies, for example. https://www.eff.org/pages/unintended-consequences-fifteen-ye... | ||
