<human>: Can you provide a brief overview of the text?

I am not affiliated with any institution that may have standard channels for acquiring bulk chemicals or laboratory equipment, but would like to purchase some for personal use. 

I'm not looking for anything really out of the ordinary, in fact right now I'm just looking for bulk amounts of isopropyl alcohol, something I could easily buy at like walmart or something, but particularly with the iso, I'm finding that it's far more expensive from chemical suppliers than it is from normal stores. For instance, [this] is the cheapest iso I could find above 90% which is $24 for a 500mL bottle, where as at walmart I could get 471mL for like $2.

What are the restrictions for more... sensitive chemicals like strong acids, industrial solvents and specific chemicals (for instance, where would I go for a kilogram of Copper (II) Sulfate)? I suppose I should mention at this point that I'm inside the US and reiterate that I have no affiliation with any relevant institution, I just love chemistry. 

I understand that there are a few key reagents that are unfortunately impossible to get without having the FBI/NSA/DEA/DOJ crawl all the way up my ass for, but I don't know of a full list or if one even really exists.
<bot>: Where can I buy chemicals/reagents in bulk with no institutional affiliation and without winding up on an FBI watchlist?
