Rehberg scores one for gun rights

Congressman Denny Rehberg has successfully forced OSHA to scrap new "explosives safety" regulations that would have categorized ordinary firearm ammunition as explosives.  Under the proposed rule, any business with any amount of ammunition on the premises would have been subject to impractical restrictions.  Under pressure from Rehberg, OSHA agreed to revise the rule.

"The OSHA proposal to regulate ammunition the same as dynamite was either a very bad idea, or a direct attack on the Second Amendment," commented Montana Shooting Sports Association President Gary Marbut in a press release from the Rehberg Congressional Office.

A lot of Montana politicians like to talk about gun rights and pose for photos with guns.  Denny's the only one who actually walks the walk.
