if you can't ban the guns...
...ban the ammunition, because:
OSHA has proposed new rules that could potentially have a serious effect on the making, storage, and transportation of small arms ammo. If these new regulations go through, the price of ammo could sky-rocket, and many places would probably stop selling it altogether. Here are just a few things their new proposal would accomplish:-Prohibit possession of firearms in commercial “facilities containing explosives”—an obvious problem for your local gun store.
-Require evacuation of all “facilities containing explosives”—even your local Wal-Mart—during any electrical storm.
-Prohibit smoking within 50 feet of “facilities containing explosives.”
I'm confident that stores carrying ammo (especially Wal-Mart) would not want to evacuate their entire store every time lightning flashes, and would therefore discontinue their selling of said ordnance. This would bottleneck the supply chain and drive prices up. And good luck to those who reload their own. It would probably be impossible for them to get the primers and gunpowder they need.
If, like me, you want to be heard on this issue, here are links to OSHA and the NRA:
