So I don't think this is a very good source.
Second, wood probably would not work, since I doubt that it could stand the forces a bullet is normally subjected to.
Third, there is no argument about the possibilities of caseless ammunition, but it is irrelevent to this discussion. There is next to no possibility that a manufacturer will make caseless ammunition with a non metallic bullet. Why? No reason to.
Forth, of course homemade guns can be made, that isn't the issue. But you are making the connection between homemade guns (which as I recall is illegal anyway) and non-detectable plastic guns which, while theorectically possible, require advanced plastics and ceramics and the machining of them, which make them a practical non-issue, especially for terrorists.

Your point #2: Wooden bullets were used in the first World War and outlawed due to the savagery of the wounds.
#3: Anything that can be manufactured can be made in a home lab. I refer you to the particle accelorator built at home by a teenager and recently profiled in the NYTimes and other major publications.
#4: Don't allow yourself to be swayed by conventional wisdom. If you'd like to know what the next 'big' thing will be ask the experts and whatever they deem impossible will be it.
