The mind wobbles.

Wow, what a link Shockie.

I'm am glad my taxpayer funded money is protecting my air from rocket waste while making a winter fall out, he he.

Can people post links on how to join such boondoggles to make the money they are.

That does it! I'm going to cut the soles out of a pair of tennis shoes, climb a tree and learn to play the flute...

The rulers of the US are beyond insane.

"Yeah, right...and the check is in my mouth"

"EPA regulations do not apply in foreign countries, ...so no changes are being made to reduce the harmful environmental effects of the nuclear warheads."

I wonder if the Air Force will need an LEUP for the new environmentally sound weapon of mass destruction?

No, there are specific exceptions from the requirements for the government.

- - --- - --- - - Section 55.141 Exceptions (a) General This part [i.e., Part 55: "Commerce In Explosives"] does not apply with respect to: ... (3) The transportation, shipment, receipt, or importatiion of explosive materials for delivery to any agency of the United States or to any State or its political subdivision. ... (5) The manufacture under the regulation of the military department of the United States of explosive materials for, or their distribution to or storage or possession by, the military or naval services or other agencies of the United States. (6) Arsenals, navy yards, depots,or other establishments owned by, or operated on behalf of, the United States. - - --- - --- - - source: "ATF-Explosives Law and Regulations": ATF publication 5400.7 (6/90) - - --- - --- - -

So the Air Force can order all the exposives and propellants it wants, and it doesn't need a permit.

Where's your school spirit?

At least he is NOT delusional.

Or the sellers to same either.

Oh, so companies like Thiokol and Aerojet don't have permits, because they sell to the government?

Geez

Shockie published something I think he found silly, and I tried to make a joke about it...

sheesh....

They do not require permits from ATF for sales to the government according to that regulation. Yes.

That is shocking, how?

Jerry

Sure, but the manufacturers themselves must have permits to manufacture, regardless of whether they sell to the government.

Not ATF permits, but local permits. Many of those are VERBAL.

I guess selling to the government is the ultimate "know your customer" situation: one is allowed to assume that they're not some mad bomber who's just going to run around blowing things up.

Even though they are mad bomber prine :)

So companies like Thiokol and Aerojet don't have LEMPs or other ATF permits, and only some local, possibly verbal permits? Got any proof of that?

They probably do, actually, since you do need a license to sell to anyone except the government, and they undoubtedly do commercial business too (comsat orbital kick stages etc.)
