Not difficult to conclude that the NYT would never put these words together: gun control extremists.
The one that really got to me was the piece on FNC about “plastic” guns and this whole issue of invisibility. All the while they are showing the guy who’s been making 3D Printed Lower Receivers for AR15’s shooting AR’s that have these parts and going on and on about how terrible it is that these guns are “invisible.” And then they had some retired black NYPD black detective saying that Congress should re up the law. I don’t know how you make a gun “invisible” if it’s loaded with real ammunition, since so far as I know, you can’t make invisible bullets.
Yeah, they are mowing them down in the streets with single shot plastic zip guns /s
Bastard republicans!
When do you think the slimes will start editorializing for restrictions on the First Amendment?
Quote:
“When Congress first approved the Undetectable Firearms Act in 1988, and renewed it in 1998 and 2003, the possibility of undetectable plastic guns being taken onto planes and into government buildings where guns are prohibited was largely theoretical. “
This is absolutely incorrect. At the time of the 2003 renewal of this law, there were mass produced plastic firearms made with the same size and shape as a cell phone. The FBI had put out a field guide for Federal agents to identify the particular types of plastic guns available on the market.
I remember this because the Field Guide was posted on FR, and there were some amazing examples of gun canes, gun cigarette cases, etc, mixed in with the mass produced cell phone shaped gun.
Oh, gee... not this s*** again.
Why can’t reporters do the simplest homework. There are no “plastic guns” that can “slip undetected through x-ray machines.”
Banning plastic and/or 3d printed guns would ultimately give the Feds total freedom to crash into any home or building anywhere any time.Smart meter information would be used to “determine” that a 3d printer is being used and the police would officially deduce that guns are being manufactured in the home and the SWATs would be called in.
I think they should just nip to the chase and make murder illegal.
I propose some “reasonable restrictions” on the 1st amendment including the banning of highly partisan “news” organizations that shill for crooked politicians. Only an exremist would oppose them.
Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't all these proposals die in the Democrat-controlled Senate?
Now the question is whether anti-gun-control extremists will allow a federal ban on the manufacture, sale, import or possession of guns that are undetectable by metal detectors and X-ray machines to expire on Dec. 9.
And what guns would these be?
They also claimed that the plastic pistol blew up before it could be fired.
ATF Sends Mixed Message on 3D guns
http://gunwatch.blogspot.com/2013/11/atf-sends-mixed-message-on-3d-guns.html
Totally metal free guns and ammo may not yet be here. As many have pointed out, ammo needs brass, copper and lead.
But they are working on it, apparently here is a patent:
http://www.freepatentsonline.com/5214237.html
From the abstract it says: “The bullet in the preferred embodiment is characterized by having a high muzzle velocity, a very short effective range, and pulverizes on impact so as to deliver considerable hydrostatic shocking effect by delivery of all of its energy within the first two to three inches of target depth. “
A bit of humor is the page’s advertising has a link that says: “How to Do Meditation?” The goes on to describe how well the bullet works. Sorta how the mob does mediation.
Technology trumps what was.
There is no law that can stop the design and fabrication of more effective and easily reproducible printed firearms.
Have these folks run out of diapers yet?
A super soaker, loaded with some nasty liquid, would make it real easy to take over just about anything you wanted.
3D printers will make any new bans impossible.
