Not safe yet. They’re back at the drawing board.
They’re just mad they got caught with their hands in the cookie jar.
Don’t certain types of nailguns use explosive charges? The construction industry ought to be against this as well.
... and yet ...
The OSHA proposal would have defined “explosives” to include “black powder, … small arms ammunition, small arms ammunition primers, [and] smokeless propellant,” and treated these items the same as the most volatile high explosives.
So why is Iverson lying? Or is she just stupid?
OSHA will be willing to back up a step this time. The ultimate goal is what was in the original proposal. It’s a warning to all whenever a bureaucrat agrees to change something in order to stop legislation against it. The proposal will be back later.
Temporary relief bump.
In truth, there does need to be considerable regulation of a lot of these materials, as real safety needs.
In the US Army, a typical motor pool can have six or eight internal storage sites for different stuff that you do not want to store together: fuel, paint & solvents; acids; compressed gases; electrical welding; etc. It takes a lot of effort just to map where in the pool to put each, far enough away from the others.
And there is a big difference between common sense regulation and intrusive micro managing.
Everyone in government has to be watched closely. They have to justify their jobs so they sit around trying to think of new regulations, etc., obviously not thinking through what the consequences would be (I would hope). However we can not take the chance that that is the case. Thank goodness there are some who have the ability to see these things and attempt to put an end to them.
Nice try ... gun grabber at OSHA
So, what is the bottom line? Did OSHA recently fire all the intelligent people, or has this been happening over time through attrition and EEO?
Unelected bureaucrats writing law. Where have we seen that before? Well, how about with the unelected soviets . Or the fascist functionairies.
These federal bureaucracies are stealing our right to elect via the ballot box our representatives to write law. In short, these bureaucrats are nothing more than dictators. It’s time for this transgression of our rights to end.
BS. It was RIGHT FRIGGIN' THERE in the proposed regs: "The OSHA proposal would have defined “explosives” to include “black powder, … small arms ammunition, small arms ammunition primers, [and] smokeless propellant,” and treated these items the same as the most volatile high explosives."
What really gets me mad is that these unelected, unaccountable MF'ers really believe that we're so stupid that we'll believe them. Oh, and THEY'LL BE BACK. Count on it, and be ready.
Thanks, Algore, for the Internet - without it, this proposed reg would already be on the books.
