 Post Office Ban On Mailing Replica Or Inert Munitions

 The Post Office is wading into the gun control debate.

 That's right, the U.S. Postal Service is trying to keep people from shipping
 replica or inert munitions through the mail.

 They have no authority in the law, since Congress has kept for itself the
 power to decide what can and cannot be shipped. But the Post Office is
 trying to say that replica or inert munitions are hazardous!

 Gun Owners of America's attorneys just found out about this outrageous
 proposal which was issued by the Post Office. Although the deadline for
 postmarking is Monday, April 7, our attorneys say that e-mails and letters
 should be sent anyway.

 If you are a re-enactor or collector of replica or inert munitions, you are
 in the Post Office crosshairs. If you are not directly involved in this,
 you should still be outraged that a bunch of bureaucrats are trying to
 further restrict Second Amendment activity.

 By the way, there is one interesting dimension to all of this: Canada wants
 the US to help shut off shipment of these items into Canada. So it looks
 like our bureaucrats are eager to appease other governments by changing our
 laws to make them as bad as our neighbors'.

 be postmarked by Monday, April 7, 2008. Here's the contact information.
