Earlier this year, ATF tested two guns made from different plastics using Wilson's Liberator design. While one exploded when fired, the other shot eight rounds before ATF halted the test. Watch the demo of the version that exploded: \n“The undetectable firearm threat has become real,†agency spokesman Timothy Graden said in an emailed statement. The expiring law forbids firearms that aren't spotted by airport X-ray screening machines or metal detectors. To meet that requirement, today's plastic guns often come with a metal part that can be detached and isn't necessary for the weapon to function. The GOP-written House measure extends that language for another decade. A bill by Rep. Steve Israel, D-N.Y., would require that such weapons have permanently attached working parts, such as the cylinder, containing at least 3.7 ounces of metal. Schumer, Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., and Sen. Bill Nelson, D-Fla., are working on similar legislation. “The House bill is better than nothing, but it's not good enough,†Schumer said Monday. On Nov. 21, Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., blocked a Schumer request for immediate, unanimous Senate approval of a one-year extension of the ban. Tensions were high because earlier that day, Democrats had muscled through changes making it harder for Republicans to block Obama nominations. Later, Iowa Sen. Charles Grassley - top Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee - characterized Schumer's abrupt request as “playing politics with public safety.†He said Republicans preferred a longer renewal. – </blockquote>Still scouring the 2nd Amendment looking for the word “exceptâ€. No luck thus far.
Why don't we just make crime illegal? That should do the trick P.s. Fuck the NRA. Bunch of sellouts and compromisers, and I don't mean just because of this.
Dude, thats crazy talk. If crime was illegal ppl wouldn't commit it. Thats why we need more gun laws.
Funny thing is that is a paper tiger law. 3D printers are hooked up to a computer. You can right now off bit torrent download detailed drawings in various formats for guns. Download the file turn on the printer. What will stop 3d priniting or make it difficult is its actually quite slow, expensive, and the materials for the printer are pricey. Sorta like its illegal to download movies right? No one dares do that because its illegal.
