guns the same as explosives?

Federal Explosives Licensees

Explosives industry members play an integral role in maintaining and improving our quality of life in the United States and work to bring countless benefits to our everyday lives in areas such as mining, oil and gas exploration; demolition; avalanche control; and the use of explosives in special industrial tools, fire extinguishers, air bag inflators, fireworks; and special effects in the entertainment industry. However, because of the potential misuse of explosive materials, ATF’s role plays a vital role in regulating and educating the explosives industry and in protecting the public from inadequate storage and security.

A rational person would understand that guns and explosives are equally dangerous in the wrong hands -- right? Oh wait, the Orange Anus-Mouth said that gun violence is a "mental health" issue and not a gun "situation."
