I'm not a fan of Robert Reich, and disagree with him completely, but this is a back door tactic I didn't even think about until he wrote it.

Back door is right.
As with all laws, only the people who obey laws will follow them. It is against the law to take out a gun and shoot somebody. Hey, if a person is going to break that one, what's one or two more?

What a scumbag.
Guns in locked in a car aren't on your employers property - they are in YOUR property.
...unless they pay for and hold the title to your car.

How about a ban on shooting people in the work place? Unless you're a cop, then I guess shooting people in the workplace is unavoidable. But we could make it a rule that you're not supposed to shoot people in the workplace without at least first notifying the safety department and getting a waiver.

Researchers at the University of North Carolina have shown that killings are five times more likely to occur at workplaces where guns are allowed as where theyre prohibited.Anybody know about this study? Has John Lott addressed it?

OSHA ought to ban guns in every workplace across America If he really means every workplace, it would have to include police departments and military bases.
To: demitall
Also will this include all those government body guards and government officials with carry permits?

"About 17 employees are murdered every week in American workplaces by someone with a gun, making gun-related killings the third-biggest safety hazard facing American workers -- right after vehicles and machines."
884 a year. Is this an OSHA statistic? Seems one would see a daily national story by the gun-grabbing liberal MSM if this were the case. Does this include officers killed in the line of duty? I bethcha it does.

Listen to the evening news and youre likely to hear a grizzly story . . . Well, if there are bears in the work place, I want a firearm with me.
Surely this tiny genius meant "grisly."

OSHA should require guns in every workplace. That's the only mechanism that might enable the workers to defend themselves in a timely manner when confronted by a gun-wielding criminal. By the time the Police arrive, it will certainly be too late.

I don't suppose there'll be an exclusion for gun factories...
To: Dan from Michigan
OSHA ought to ban guns in every workplace across America I guess that this means that the police will be disarmed as well / sarcasm

Since it was established more than 30 years ago, OSHA has often been corporate Americas worst nightmare, focusing its enforcement on picayune rules and regulations. Truer word than the above have seldom been spoken. That said, a ban on guns in the workplace will prevent spousal shootings???? Dream on.
