This seems like a likely outcome, part of the "credentialling of America."
There are parts of biological research which can only be done by approved, credentialled researchers. Ditto for weapons work of various kinds.

I'm aware of the FAA restrictions on rocket launching (although there doesn't appear to be curbs on development or static testing). Where can one find those related to biology? May
Any search with Google on the right keywords will turn up many hits.
The Anti-Terrorism Act of 1996 makes nearly every facet of experimentations with potential biological warfare agents or techniques a federal crime if the proper permission slips are not obtained.

This is just a guess but you'd be pretty likely to incur the wrath of your owners if you started experimenting with effective solid fuels even out in the middle of nowhere on your own property. Just acquiring the raw materials would probably draw unwanted attention and give the fascists enough grist to prove intent. Intent for whatever they feel like charging you with, that is. I think they want a monopoly on research and technology even remotely related to warfare.
