Remember, this would probably include flu/COVID vaccines at CVS just as much as restless leg syndrome pills. Just because the words "ban drug ads" sound like a good thing doesn't mean the implementation is acceptable. Don't throw the baby out with the bath water.

If it can be questioned when they get what they want, then it lays the groundwork for it to be questioned when they don't.

My best guess is the materials. Last I looked into them they were entirely 3D printed except for a roofing nail to act as the firing pin. The drastic reduction in metal makes them easier to sneak passed metal detectors. Other than that, you seem right on the nose.
