Plastic or steel, a ban on ANY gun is unconstitutional. See ammendment, 2nd of the Bill of rights. It's value, application, or practicality is of zero consequence.

It doesn't matter how ineffective our screening capabilities are or how easy this could make it for a "terrorist' to terrorize. IT IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL.

I know those of you anti-freedom, pro-restriction/governement regualtion types have already discarded this as an easily surmountable obstacle. Believe me there is a method to change the contents of the constitution and bill of rights.

Passing unconstitutional laws is not one.

For this very reason I would support blocking a bill which 'bans' said terribly "Dangerous" unsuitable for hunting firearm.

Slippery Slope is also a very good reason.

Off the top of my head I can think of no good reason to want an all plastic gun. At the same time I can think of no constitutional method to restrict it.
