Plastic guns


An editorial in the Times today notes that December 8 is the expiration date for a law that bans the manufacture, sale, import, or possession of guns undetectable by metal detectors or X-ray machines.  This ban was first signed into law by President Reagan in 1988.  It was renewed in 1998 and 2003.

This time there could be a fight.  After all, the Second Amendment doesn’t mention plastic guns.  Any bets on what the N.R.A.’s position will be?

By the way, in last night's posting I noted that the Transportation Bill had been voted down in the Penna. state house.  It was brought back and passed.  Rep. Heffley voted no on the reconsideration.
