Look at the NRA form letter that they want you to send off to OSHA and politicians. It contains an exaggeration.
"The proposed transportation regulations would also affect shooters’ ability to buy these components by mail or online, because shipping companies would also have great difficulty complying with the proposed rules."
This is the part that i have big heart burn with. For one, it is just not true. OSHA proposes no such thing and says so in their proposed rules. Secondly, it does not enhance the credibility of guns rights organizations to put this kind of exaggeration in a form letter and ask their members to send it out to politicians and OSHA. i sincerely hope that no pro-gun senator or pro-gun representative gets egg on their face when they go to bat for us over this one.
i have been a loyal member of the NRA for 50 years and contribute heavily to our cause. But when they twist the truth it makes me wonder if anyone there knows what they are doing.
Yes, OSHA is a tyrannical federal regulatory bureauracy. Yes, they can put you out of business. Yes, they do want to regulate ammunition retailers, but it ain't going to fly. No, they are not going to regulate the transportation of small arms ammunition and re-loading components: They make this very plain in their proposed regulation.
Just read the NSSF form letter. It has the same trash:
"Shipping is Halted: Proposed restrictions on transportation exceed current DOT Regulations. Mandating wood-covered, non-spark-producing material in trailers for small arms ammunition shipments would bring the transportation of ammunition to a near halt. There are simply not enough trailers in existence today that would be able to substitute for traditional, metal covered surfaces. Small package carriers such as UPS and Fed-Ex would be prohibited from carrying ammunition and components which would shut down mail order houses such as Cabalas and Bass Pro shops and many business to business transactions. This section alone, with all it would entail (such as two drivers at all times), is capable of paralyzing our industry."
Look, i do not want OSHA or anyone else to regulate ammunition retail sales. At the same time we need to be factual about this stuff. No one at the NRA-ILA studied this proposed regulation in detail, it is their job to do so. If they do not have anyone with the expertise to do so, they need to hire an SME. No, i have more work than i can handle.
Same goes for the NSSF and SAAMI. Now they want us to get up in arms and support their exaggerations. i ain't drinking the Kool Aid.
EOD Guy called this exactly right.

Ammo Prices after this is rammed down our throats (7.62x39= $1.72 per round) (7.62x54 =$2.08 per round) (9mm = $2.00 per round) (.380 = $2.19 per round) (25 auto = $2.49 per round) (38 spcl.=$2.29 per round) (5.56= Not Available Due to war efforts)... and im thinkin these are very Optimistic "LOW BALL" figures...

I appolagise if this has been posted already, ive only got a couple minutes, but just recieved this from the NRA-ILA
Confused about who to write too??
I am used to writing to my reps and to organizations alike, but I am a bit confused about who I should be writing too. I see I can leave a public comment on the OSHA website, but I think that would only serve as lip service at best. I can write to local and state reps, but I am also unclear which would be keeping tabs on this issue at this point.
Any idea who exactly I should be targeting here???
Also, why does it seem like relatively few people are freaking out about this???

The "O" in OSHA stands for Occupational. I don't see any "P" for Public. Retail stores or their products within the realm of OSHA seems quite a stretch, especially without incidents of the stuff exploding.

Maybe because they aren't buying the outright BS being put out by the NRA and SAAMI.
The length of this thread, and the fact that it has been duplicated several times now, plus the existence of a viable thread in the Activism forum, not to mention the NRA-ILA and NSSF alerts, show that it is not being ignored.JLStorm said:
I do think you should leave a comment at the .gov link. It is not just lip service. I look at it this way: if we can get enough people to post comments in response to the rulemaking, and get various organizations like NSSF and NRA actively involved, then I think our elected representatives will sit up and take notice. I plan to file substantial comments this week. I will post them via the .gov link, mail them, and, probably, fax them. I fully expect there to be a flurry of comments filed at the last minute, many of them asking for an extension. Once that happens, I plan to contact my elected representatives -- actually again, as I've contacted them already -- to see what they are going to do about it. While OSHA is an administrative agency, and therefore an Executive branch part of .gov, the legislature controls their funding, and can turn up the heat in various ways.
I think it is getting more notice than you acknowledge. At the same time, some of the notice is a little over the top, and that doesn't help. It just makes us look like kooks. We're actually at an early stage in this kind of thing, so there's plenty of reason to believe that we can make a difference.
EODguy, it is not all outright BS. I agree that some of the claims are a bit far fetched, but they have polemic value in that these are institutions that get listened to, and if they think these regs can be construed as silly, then maybe it is prudent to take a closer look at them.EODguy said:
In my comments I will be advancing some of these "nonsense" arguments, but simply to show how the proposed regs could be construed if applied to retail sales of ammunition, primers, and powder. I don't think OSHA intended them to be construed in this nonsensical fashion, but the fact is that OSHA is the one that opened up this pandora's box themselves by suggesting that at least some of the regs should apply to commercial retail sales. They haven't done the required economic analysis of the impact of the proposed regs on commercial retail sales, and thus I think they've failed to comply with Executive Order 12866.
IANAL, but I wonder if failure to comply with Executive Order 12866 is legally actionable, and who would have standing to go after OSHA on that basis?

Here's my message, feel free to plagarise any part you wish
To post comments go to the regulations.gov site, enter OSHA-2007-0032 and "document id" in the last search line, and fill out form/enter message. The page will timeout after a minute or two, so I wrote my message, proofread it, and copy/pasted it into the message body. I did my part in tying up a little piece of the .gov e-mail server, now the obligatry letters to my reps will be sent tomorrow.
best reguards, Jeremy

Some Dudley Do-Rights at SAAMI and IME jointly asked for changes in the OSHA rules: OSHA made those changes. Now SAAMI does not like the new rules. SAAMI is hoping that comments from gun rights groups will now pull their chesnuts out of a very hot fire, so they exaggerate and tell outright lies. The part to be concerned about is the regulation of ammunition retailers.
If you have not studied the proposed regulation, then print it out and study it carefully so that you can make informed comments. However, if you want to sign some form letter that is full of lies, feel free to do so: It does not enhance our credibility as gun rights folks when you do.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Extension of Comment Period
On April 13, 2007, OSHA published a notice of proposed rulemaking
to revise the Explosives standard (72 FR 18792). In that notice, the
Agency provided the public with ninety (90) days to submit written
comments, until July 12, 2007. Several interested persons have
requested an extension of the deadline for submitting comments
explaining that they needed additional time to gather information and
provide a thorough review and response to the proposed standard. OSHA
is providing an additional sixty (60) days for the submission of
comments. Accordingly, written comments must now be submitted (sent or
postmarked) by September 10, 2007. Granting additional time to comment
on the proposed rule will allow these and other stakeholders time to
provide more thorough comments on the proposed rule, which, in turn,
will give OSHA a more complete record.
II. Submission of Comments and Access to Comments
You may submit comments in response to this document (1)
electronically at http://www.regulations.gov, which is the Federal
eRulemaking Portal; (2) by facsimile (FAX); or (3) by hard copy. All
comments, attachments and other material must identify the Agency name
and the OSHA docket number for this rulemaking (Docket No. OSHA-2007-
0032). You may supplement electronic submissions by uploading document
files electronically. If, instead, you wish to mail additional
materials in reference to an electronic or fax submission, you must
submit three copies to the OSHA Docket Office (see ADDRESSES section).
The additional materials must clearly identify your electronic comments
by name, date, and docket number so OSHA can attach them to your
comments.
Because of security-related procedures, the use of regular mail may
cause a significant delay in the receipt of comments. For information
about security procedures concerning the delivery of materials by hand,
express delivery, messenger or courier service, please contact the OSHA
Docket Office (see ADDRESSES section).
Comments and submissions in response to this Federal Register
notice are posted without change at http://www.regulations.gov (Docket
No. OSHA-2007-0032). Therefore, OSHA cautions commenters about
submitting personal information such as social security numbers and
date of birth.
In the Explosives proposal, OSHA referenced a number of supporting
materials. Those references are posted in both Docket No. OSHA-S031-
2006-0665 (which is available at http://www.regulations.gov) and OSHA Docket No. S-031 (which is available at http://dockets.osha.gov).

Ahem.
I LIKE rolling my socks all the way up. I also like fastening my pants so they don't fall off my butt like some low down trash or gangbanger.
I used to have my name and last initial on my lunchbag, because "Mike" is woefully common in my generation.
If you suggest I'm the kind of person who'd endorse this idiocy, we'll be fightin'.
Looks like the old SLOPE is kinda bumpy just ahead. All the millions of small crevices oozing butter. The blood from billions of crushed toes mixing with the butter and swine grease.
So who are the OSHA managers and admins who wrote this up and approved this current version of the proposed changes? I do not think I have said to much.
Looks like a sig line to me.
Currently there are 975 posted comments. Several in doc format more than 1page long. The first 116 where posted on 7/9/07. The rest where posted 7/10/07.
Update Very few names listed at the .gov site. OSHA is a big part of Dep of Labor. As in HUGE.

Two related subdepartments that do reviews and analysis.

Kinda wondering about that lately myself. If the politicians aren't ignoring We the People on one thing, it's another. The grumblings can be heard just about everywhere.
