However, I still don't believe it was an "honest mistake". I think they just got caught trying to "back-door" some gun control......

I suppose it is possible that it was an honest mistake, but it just seems unlikely. I think it is much more likely that someone slipped in the ammunition stuff and no one there picked up on it until the NRA started its campaign to stop the rule. Often times something like this is slipped in by the proverbial "well meaning staffer" with an agenda.Quick6 wrote:Agreed.AggieMM wrote:However, I still don't believe it was an "honest mistake".

See, when you play the funding card...People like this listen...Working with the NRA, Congressman Denny Rehberg (R-MT) planned to offer a floor amendment to the Labor-HHS appropriations bill this Wednesday when the House considers this legislation. His amendment would have prohibited federal funds from being used to enforce this OSHA regulation.
Such an amendment is no longer necessary since Kristine A. Iverson, the Labor Department’s Assistant Secretary for Congressional and Intergovernmental Affairs, sent Rep. Rehberg a letter, dated July 16, stating that it “was never the intention of OSHA to block the sale, transportation, or storage of small arms ammunition, and OSHA is taking prompt action to revise� this proposed rule to clarify the purpose of the regulation.
Perhaps a total and public abandonment of the effort (by OSHA) would be best...Yep...I believe so...
Revising or clarifying any of this does nothing for me...Or anyone for that matter...

While I was in the process of writing to OSHA to complain, I googled the regulation number. About halfway down the first page of responses was a letter from a number of members of congress to Pres. Bush, opposing the regulation. ONe of the signers was Diane Feinstein. I realized right then that this regulation is going nowhere. I guess she was looking for some political cover.
