The controversial OSHA nominee and left-leaning public health advocate also seems to have strong views on firearms issues. Thats by no means irrelevant to the agenda of an agency like OSHA, because once you start viewing private gun ownership as a public health menace, it begins to seem logical to use the powers of government to urge or even require employers to forbid workers from possessing guns on company premises, up to and including parking lots, ostensibly for the protection of co-workers. In addition, OSHA has authority to regulate the working conditions of various job categories associated with firearms use (security guards, hunting guides, etc.) and could in that capacity do much to bring grief to Second Amendment values.
Senators have put nominations on hold for less. It will be interesting to see whether they take an interest in Michaels views on gun restrictions and their place in OSHAs agenda (& welcome Instapundit readers).

The Obama administration is layered through with these poison nuggets of far out ideology.

They keep pushing the gun issue in the face of the American patriot and they will find themselves at the wrong end of the barrel.
Comrade Michaels is proving that communism is alive and well.

"The Obama administration is layered through with these poison nuggets of far out ideology." DUDE! They're all freaking control freaks and Marxists. One pretty much goes with the other, and yes, they are all toxic to the very concept of Liberty.

The Clintons used The Center for Disease Control while in the White House.

The American Society for Industrial Security (ASIS) has already stated their opposition to guns - either in the workplace or in parking lots.

Seems to me that the Texas legislature just legalized guns in employer parking places, at least. Thank God!

More importantly, just think of all the people they are going to hire and how they going to hinder future administrations trying to clean up Pres. Obama’s mess.
