So your point would be what? That a private entity cannot be engaged in strangling the shooting sports in the U.S.?
So? What;'s your point?
Guess I could ask the same.

I think you guys are getting all lathered up for not.
Afraid to show your colors?
Quit avoiding and answer the question.
What is your point in saying hazmat fees are levied by private concerns and not government and what that has to do with the scarcity of black powder.
What colors ?
What question?
I posted a source quote to clear up any confusion or misconceptions anyone might have about hazmat fees.
Methinks this is the case too.
i spent a career in US Army Explosive Ordnance Disposal. In the 50s-60s and 70s we rendered safe numerous pipe bombs filled with black powder.
Those bombs presented a glorious opportunity for the feds to outlaw black powder. The fact that black powder was not outlawed speaks volumes. Politicians have larger fish to fry.
People doth worry too much.
So clear up the confusion then. Why does it matter who imposes shooting sports strangling, adding to the scarcity of black powder, Hazmat fees. Private entities or the government whats the difference?

Actually it is just another way of strangling the shooting sports in general in the U.S.
Hmm, isn't the fee set by sellers and carriers ?
My nephew drives for UPS and there is nothing done different from a Haz-Mat shipping box to a regular box, nothing , not even a special shelf or explosion container on the trucks. The fee is just another way to screw hunters and shooters.

Someone said the hazmat fee was something being charged by the government. Carbon 6 explained that the government was not charging the fee. It was being charged by the private companies that deliver the explosive.
That's all there is to it. Please drop the subject.
If the gov doesn't collect and redistribute the hazmat fees, then who does, the hazmat university?"The government does not collect or otherwise receive one cent of the hazmat fee. All of it goes to the company for the purpose of investing in employee training and other measures of improving hazmat safety and compliance."

I appreciate your service sir. Food for thought, but the times are changing all around us, and we need to be acclimated to new trains of thought.Methinks this is the case too.

You are correct, I did not read the quote, that is the reason I asked you directly. Being a little lazy today. ThanksPlease read the quote.
Ive rarely seen the gov not get their cut in any fees dealing with the American public, so I assumed.
