[TheForge] Going OT: sorta... was: Re: TheForge Digest, Vol 47, Issue 18-melting lead

Speaking of reloading, is anyone else here aware that Colt and either 
Winchester or Remington made a deal with the devil (aka the federal 
government)?  They promised to stop selling all reloading supplies to 
civilians if the gov would renew contracts for purchase of their weapons 
for DoD.

I've also heard that OSHA has declared gun powder to be an explosive 
(which it is not) AND a hazardous material.  There is some talk of 
passing a law that will make it a *crime* to have guns and ammunition in 
the same building... because of the safety hazard, of course.

Sort of reminds me of the days when that red-nosed boozing trash heap 
called Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan tried to legislate a $130 tax on 
every box of ammunition.

Interesting times.
