Undetectable Firearms Act of 1988 due to expire in December

[Enkrypter]

Heard on NPR's bias report this morning that the law requiring metal in all guns manufactured is due to end in December. The expose` was on, plastic guns and the threats they pose to public safety.

I doubt our current congress will do anything about it.

Good, my Glock 7 will finally be legal.

Will a 3D printer reproduce plastic ammo?

How can you afford one.... I hear they cost more than a Dulles International Airport Police Chief makes in a month

That movie is 23 years old. I'll bet inflation has pushed it even more out of reach.

Considering the Glock 7 is ceramic, you must have used a LOT of candles.

I think they will re-up it. Otherwise, terrorists could print plastic guns and take them on planes. Of course, terrorists don't follow laws, and could care less whether it is legal or not, especially if they are coming from Yemen, and intend to blow themselves up over Spain. But they still have to prevent crazy people from bringing a plastic gun on board, so they will re-up it. Again, crazy people don't care if it is illegal either. But they will want to make it as difficult as possible for an average person to make a plastic gun nonetheless, because the more plastic guns in existence, the more likely it is that a crazy person will find one.

Touche. LOL.

I heard this article the other day. They said it's not that the ATF is afraid of gangsters getting the machines, it's everyday people and the risk they will impose on all society! Won't catch me firing ANYTHING expect a tennis ball through a plastic barrel. Barrels, firing pins and ammo are likely to stay metal... Plastics bullets, sure. Plastic casing and primers... Wtf?
