Another was wrapped in brown paper, like a present ready to give the gift of violence.Gee, no editorializing in a "straight news" story there, eh, "Authorized Journalist" Tammy Stables Battaglia? Nice to see The Free Press adhering to such rigorous ethical standards...
And who better to bare our throats to than--not just "Only Ones"--but Detroit "Only Ones."
The thought strikes though--incinerating all those guns, putting all that toxic particulate in the environment...I have to wonder if OSHA regulations for ensuring health protection of employees doing the incinerating are in place, if EPA standards for pollution are being followed, if carbon credits are being purchased from Al Gore...:)
Are the guns classified as hazardous materials/hazardous waste? As such, are the labeled with appropriate MSDS tags and documentation, and has proper training been conducted to ensure hazards are known, precautions are taken, records are created and maintained...?
It would be funny to sic the feds on them for potential environmental "crimes"/Clean Air Act violations, wouldn't it? Anybody knows how, run with it.
Maybe we could get the environmentalcases to do our heavy lifting for us...possibly Earth First could send in some smokestack sitters...?

Actually, an MSDS sheet isn't required just because something contains a hazardous waste. MSDS sheets are only required if something contains sufficient quantity of a hazard to present a risk to people using the item. The limits for something being considered a waste is actually far below the limit requiring a MSDS sheet in for most things on the list of specific hazardous wastes.
As for being a hazardous waste, I don't know of any firearms that contain anything that would be classified as a waste. The lead in the bullets is a listed waste category (D008). But I would hope they don't melt the guns while they are loaded.
whenever i ask greenies what they think about the government's massively wasteful energy and fuel expenditures by quoting some statistics, their faces tend to drop.
it's not an easy thing to eat a dose of reality when you believe the government is the solution to the alleged problems of some alleged helpless and powerless interest group.
when they say "society" they usually mean government. so if "we" should be greener, then the first in line better be government. i want to see congress riding around in little electric cars by 2015. yes we can!
I'd rather see congress sitting in some other electric appliance, but....
I was at a gun show the other day. We got behind someone who stank like they'd just dropped a load in their pants.
I'm guessing that it was an Obama gun show spy, checking out what people were buying. But when said gun-hater saw an EBR, he just dropped a load right there.
Note to gun show spies: Wear a diaper. That way you won't have to throw away your soiled panties...
