I'm going to check this out further, but y'all might want to read this thread.
 
It disturbs the heck out of me, and if true, we need to react...NOW!

Here's a quote from the proposed change in regulations. As far as I'm concerned, if it's good for the UN it's bad for citizens of any nation, but especially the US.

 

The use of different explosives
classification systems by DOT, ATF, and
OSHA is confusing and burdensome for
the regulated community. Therefore,
OSHA is proposing to adopt the DOT
UN-based classification system as part
of the definition of explosives as
applied in § 1910.109(b). The use of this
globally-harmonized system enhances
clarity and reduces confusion, thereby
resulting in greater understanding and
increased safety in the use of explosives.
Stakeholders have indicated the desire
that other departments and agencies
should also consider adoption of the
DOT UN-based classification system to
reduce the burden for and

misunderstanding within the industry.

Emphasis mine.
 

I only skimmed the document, but two things seem clear to me:

1) This appears to be a turf war between OSHA and the BATF, and
2) The people that work at OSHA are fascist sociali$ts. (The "p0rn" filter" is really getting out of control.)

[/SIZE]The thrust of the proposed changes are directed at broadening the definition of "explosive". OSHA doesn't like the broad categorizations uused by the BATF. Of course OSHA is only thinking of the "workers". So was the the old Soviet Politburo, and Mao.

The sociali$t party of America (AKA the Democrats) will love this, therefore it is likely to pass without a whimper. The Republican politicians won't use any political capital fighting it because it's "not on the national radar".

Al, this isn't "bunk" - I've seen the document. It seems a bit hyperbolic to me to state that OSHA is trying to "ban handloading". Nonetheless, I have no doubt that the fascist sociali$ts at OSHA would love nothing better. This is simply a way to gain more control of the populace in the guise of "safety".

The deadline for comment - if you want to spit into the wind - is July 12th. Keep in mind, OSHA isn't proposing to "ban" ANYTHING. They just want to "protect" the "worker".... said the spider to the fly.

I e-mailed my reps and Senators......total Bull S***. I can hear it now....Attention Walmart shoppers, a lightning bolt was reported in the county and the store must be evacuated immediately as we sell .22 and 30'06 shells.......wait wait shoppers, we have cleared the store of all ammunition and it is now safe to shop. Ted and Hillary are going to take our guns by making it impossible to make or buy ammo. For everone who reads this....call your reps now.....this is very very serious. Regards, Rick.

I got both Georgia senators and a representative yesterday.  I was thinking of getting the Florida ones as well, that's where I'm registered but my "home's in Alabama" so I might write them too.  Osha makes a point of adopting the DOT number system for explosives, which has 6 different classifications from extremely volatile like blasting agents to nearly inert like ammo.  And then throughout the whole update it applies the same insanely restrictive measures to "explosives" et al, without allowing for different measures for different classifications.  Seems an obvious ploy to me.

Up in "WHATS ON YOUR MIND" is a link to try and do something also. good luck if you go that route.

HOW TO POST A COMMENT

Looks like someone is trying to be sneaky. Our guns won't be of too much use if we can't get ammo for them.  DO SOMETHING NOW, instead of whinning about it after the fact:(

I just put in my 2 cents worth.

This is not the only forum that has alerted people to this proposed ruling.

Lets ALL make our voices heard. We must oppose this tyranny.
