If you like your plastic guns, created with a 3-D printer, you can’t keep your plastic guns. Period. Yet again Republicans and Democrats trampled on the Second Amendment by banning ‘plastic guns.’
A bipartisan majority in the House voted to extend a bill banning plastic guns or other guns that would not be detectable in a metal detector or x-ray machine on Tuesday.
Still, Democrats said that the House bill is a good start.
“This, for now, is a very good step,” said New York Rep. Steve Israel, speaking Tuesday on the House floor shortly before the voice vote. Israel was among those who had been pushing to include limits on 3-D printed weapons in the bill, and he said that he would still have “liked to close that loophole” in the Undetectable Firearms Act. Israel said that adjustment could be made later on.
New York Democratic Sen. Chuck Schumer, who along with Democratic Sen. Bill Nelson of Florida and Patrick Leahy of Vermont pushed for such language in the extension, had a similar take.
