Regulation

 After Timothy McVeigh blew up a building, we regulated the chemicals he used to make the bomb.

According to Gun Nut Orthodoxy, that shouldn't have worked.  Someone who is willing to blow up a building would just ignore the laws about buying jet fuel and fertilizer.

Yet we haven't had a bombing since then.

Hand grenades are illegal.  According to Gun Nut Orthodoxy, that should mean that only outlaws have hand grenades.

But I can't remember the last time an outlaw actually used a hand grenade.  It's certainly very uncommon.

How about that?
