The problem is, if the regulation was put into effect, every TS

that retails for $600 today would cost $1200 tomorrow. Sure, you could
disable the SS, but if you wanted to buy a TS at all, you'd have to pay
twice as much for the saw as as you would in a free market.

Not really. You could buy Mikes saw after someone kills his sorry ass:-)
