Subject: Proposed "Safety" Regulations Would Dry Up Ammunition Sales



Texas State Rifle Association Political Action Committee
TSRA members, family and friends:
http://www.nraila.org/Legislation/Federal/Read.aspx?id=3145
The link above goes to an NRA-ILA page that explains a proposed rule change, rules created by Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). The proposed rule indiscriminately treats ammunition, powder and primers as "explosives." Among many other provisions, the proposed rule would:
1. Prohibit possession of firearms in commercial "facilities containing explosives"~ an obvious problem for your local gun store!
2. Require evacuation of all "facilities containing explosives" ~~even your local Wal-Mart~~during any electrical storm!
3. Prohibit smoking within 50 feet of "facilities containing explosives."
The public comment period ends July 12. The time to file your own comment, or learn more about the OSHA proposal is NOW! Use the link above to the NRA-ILA page and read more about the problem and find a draft letter opposing the OSHA rule on "explosives".

OK it should be a sticky now, and we'll leave it up until the 13th or so.

There has been a 60 day extension for comments.
WRITE A LETTER! to the drones you sent to D.C.
We have Patti Murray, H. R. C., Obama, and the Swim Team Captain among others ot the Senate sub-committee that over-sees this crap, this is serious stuff folks.
E-mail your congress critter today, take a day or so to reflect, email the drone again, have every like minded person you know do the same.
