In response to the flood of concern and criticizm from gun activists, OSHA today dramatically backed away from proposed new regulations which would have made manufacture, storage, and sale of ammunition, primers, powders, and pecussion caps virtually impossible.
Here's what NSSF had to say about the situation:
Something for the "Oh, for pity's sake!" file from the Philadelphia Daily News. What I love is the way the newsies twist it around to where Elmo's threatening someone…
Put the gun down, Elmo.
That's the war cry of gun-control advocates after learning that a National Rifle Association Web site is offering discounted tickets to Sesame Place and other kid-friendly theme parks – in return for donations to the NRA's political arm, the Institute for Legislative Action (ILA).
"This is a very strange thing, the connection between guns, the NRA and Sesame Place," said Bryan Miller, executive director of Ceasefire NJ. "It looks to me like a PR nightmare."
"There is no conflict of interest by having the theme-park tickets available," said NRA spokeswoman Ashley Varner.
