I think that it makes sense to ban some firearms and small rockets (with
unannounced launches) when the whole country's doppler early warning
systems are listening for doppler from incoming missiles. Maybe I am
exaggerating but with the radar equation being what it is maybe a backyard
estes rocket in some tiny side lobe could appear as a ICBM for a brief
moment of time on some screen or other. I suspect that these things will
mark anything moving faster than sound as a target no matter what.

I also think that it makes sense to remove the restriction asap
thereafter.
