Re Guns you are wrong (again)
National Firearms Act
https://www.atf.gov/rules-and-regulations/national-firearms-act
While the NFA was enacted by Congress as an exercise of its authority
to tax, the NFA had an underlying purpose unrelated to revenue
collection. As the legislative history of the law discloses, its
underlying purpose was to curtail, if not prohibit, transactions in
NFA firearms. Congress found these firearms to pose a significant
crime problem because of their frequent use in crime, particularly the
gangland crimes of that era such as the St. Valentine’s Day Massacre


Re Bombs - Nope
https://www.atf.gov/explosives/illegal-explosives
including grenades which are bombs.

You state that " largely because it has no legitimate use on the
streets" while, notably in the NFA it was an effort to control crime.
