Despite my best search efforts until today I haven’t found any news organizations reporting on this end run OSHA is appearing to make on the 2nd Amendment by restricting small arms ammunition until today. As reported in other posts OSHA Sets Sights On Gun Industry & More Info On OSHA Rules here a rule change by OSHA to call primers & small arms ammo explosives will set off a chain of events that will basically make it impossible for anyone to purchase shells for a shotgun, rifle or handgun ammunition, or even the components to load your own.
World Net Daily appears to be the first big name news organization to be breaking the story.
The federal government is considering a series of new rules that would apply to workplaces where “explosives” are handled, giving rise to a concern that the restrictions could be used to limit – or eliminate – reasonable access to firearms ammunition.
In 5 days the public comment period will come to an end please take the time and request that the comment period be extended. The big issue with this is that because of how sneaky this attack on our rights has been made that it wasn’t until recently that it was even found out. From my conversations with folks few in the retail industry and few shooters are even aware of this. It seems that our Black Powder shooters were the first to pick up on this, as near as I can tell, and many are mistakenly thinking this will only apply to black powder. Nothing could be further from the truth, all shooters will be effected. Please educate your fellow shooters and your places you purchase your supplies from because a lot still do not know.
