Try reading the OSHA proposal instead of the bs article.

This actually seems a smart and good thing.

Almost every phase of explosive industry is already regulated by someone somewhere; here OSHA simply tries to eliminate redundancy, achieve consistency, and update obsolete regs.

Almost every phase of explosive industry is already regulated by someone somewhere; here OSHA simply tries to eliminate redundancy, achieve consistency, and update obsolete regs.

From OSHA site link:

Issue #4: OSHA seeks specific comments on the impact proposed paragraph (c)(3)(iii) would have on the storage and retail sale of small arms ammunition, small arms primers, and smokeless propellants. Do open flames, matches, or spark producing devices create a hazard when located within 50 feet of small arms ammunition, small arms primers, or smokeless propellants, or facilities containing these products? Can employers involved in the storage or retail sale of small arms ammunition, small arms primers, or smokeless propellants prevent all open flames, matches, or spark producing devices from coming within 50 feet of these products or facilities containing these products? If not, why not? Should proposed paragraph (c)(3)(iii) use a protective distance other than 50 feet and, if so, what distance should it be and why? Should OSHA exclude small arms ammunition, small arms primers, and smokeless propellants from the requirements of proposed paragraph (c)(3)(iii)?

It sounds like they're still trying to make up their minds exactly what they want to do.

“Try reading the OSHA proposal instead of the bs article.”

I did and the Analysis by the NRA-ILA is correct. The section on small arms ammo and storage propellants is ridiculous.

For instance, you would only be able to display 50 lbs of propellant in a store.

These are regulations that are not due to any exposions or incidents, but are due to another set of beaurocrats trying to regulate shooting out of existence.
I would suggest posting your comments to them and copying your House Rep and Senator. It is very clear that this is designed to shoot down the gun industry.
