More back-door gun control

Just can't trust 'em, even for a minute...

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has proposed new rules that would have a dramatic effect on the storage and transportation of ammunition and handloading components such as primers or black and smokeless powder. The proposed rule indiscriminately treats ammunition, powder and primers as “explosives.” Among many other provisions, the proposed rule would:

• Prohibit possession of firearms in commercial “facilities containing explosives”—an obvious problem for your local gun store.
• Require evacuation of all “facilities containing explosives”—even your local Wal-Mart—during any electrical storm.
• Prohibit smoking within 50 feet of “facilities containing explosives.”

And remember, this is supposed to be a Republican administration.

You have until September 10th to make your thoughts known.  [Here], search Docket  OSHA-2007-0032.

UPDATE 070717 14:35:  Back to the drawing board.
