" If you are willing to support the ban of the manufacturer of a class of firearms simply because you don't think they are practical or worthwhile, you are on the wrong side of the fence.

Who said I support this law. I'm just not worried about it and I told you why. I told you there are more important things to worry about-like the AW ban. I'm more worried about not having an effective defense from an air assault, or arty's cluster munitions than I am about this.

"This could someday cause private citizens in the U.S. to be prohibited from owning modern firearms."

Nah.

" The use of wood and metal in firearms is declining and future designs may not have any."

I told you metal IS REQUIRED for the barrel and all they have to do is provide a sufficiently xray dense handle. "There may not be room."

There's always plenty of room. I think you're missing the hint that I am well aware of the relevant physics and material science.

"I should have no problem with banning the sale of black powder (an explosive) since I don't think muzzle loaders are very practical or worthwhile. Terrorists are far more likely to take advantage of that "loophole" than ever use an "insufficiently metallic firearm.""

It's not a loophole. There are some things that are important and some that are not.

From the Wisconsin state page: "In short the "plastic pistol" is an assasin's (SIC) piece." Chuck Schumer couldn't have said it any better.

At best put an unnecessary metal paperweight in the handle of every future handgun for a worthless law?

Maybe in a muzzle loader, but not in many polymer framed handguns today an certainly not tomorrow. It's clear that the rights of other firearms owners don't interest you.

It's (the unregulated sale of the explosive black powder) not a loophole. There are some things that are important and some that are not.

So much for hanging together or surely hanging separately. I wrote a letter to my congressman after Oklahoma City when they were debating added taxes and licensing requirements for black powder even though I've never bought any. I can know see that fighting to preserve your rights simply isn't worth the effort. Your selfishness in preserving our nation's legacy is a disgrace. Your grandchildren deserve to be disarmed.
