Also, if you are an NRA member, I strongly urge you to join Gun Owners of America. NRA supported the Brady gun ban. Read the article at the following link: http://www.gunowners.org/bihow.htm

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'.
