Definetly not trolling. I actually agree with the NRA positions more often than not. I am being serious and I think the NRA people could explain to me any good reason for allowing the mass market to contain plastic guns than anyone else.
Perhaps there is a way of tracing which side of the aisle the blocker came from. He could know that it was a Rep that way.
Dem or Rep, a man who wouldn't support a ban on a plastic gun is seriously deranged.
Quote:
Wayne LaPierre, executive vice president of the NRA, said
his organization actually helped write the law in 1988 and fully
supports its reauthorization.
"I think Senator Kennedy and Senator Lautenberg need to take
a deep breath," Mr. LaPierre said. "These haymaker charges that
they are throwing out there are absurd."
Mr. LaPierre said he knows of no "legitimate manufacturer
anywhere in the world" that makes a plastic gun.
"There are no plastic guns," Mr. LaPierre said. "It would be
the most unsafe product you'd ever imagine. If they've got one,
I'd like to see it."
He added that it might be possible that "someone in his
garage wants to put together a plastic gun," and if so, the NRA
would be against it.

I didn't know the NRA already were against plastic guns and helped draft the original bill. That is good to know.
There is no good reason to have a plastic gun. It may be lighter but it would have an extremely short safe use life because the plastic wouldn't be able to stand up the the stress. The only real reason to have a plastic gun is to evade x-ray scanners and metal detectors.
