Contact your Congressman/Woman and Senators and give them the 5 reasons that the plastic gun ban should not be reauthorized.
1. If, after removing grips, stocks, and magazines, any gun is not as "detectable" by a metal detector as is a "Security Exemplar," the gun is banned -- permanently.
2. Within certain broad parameters concerning metallic standards, anti-gun Attorney General Eric Holder gets to determine the exact shape and characteristics of the Exemplar, what metal detector is used, and how many times (or how many thousands of times) the gun has to pass.
3. If any major component of the gun -- which the statute tries to define, but may ultimately be defined by Eric Holder -- doesn't produce an accurate x-ray image (again, defined by Holder), the gun is banned.
4. Schumer and his allies have engaged in a concerted effort to use a plastic gun ban reauthorization to ban much of America's firearms manufacturing. Drafts which they have pushed all year would ban a printer, mold, or program which could conceivably be used to make a plastic gun. The problem is that any such printer, mold, or program would also ban technology and molds used by many firearms manufacturers to make widely used metal guns.
5. The underhanded way Chuck Schumer tried to ram this re-authorization through. Schumer attempted to slam through his gun manufacturing ban without a vote (i.e., by unanimous consent) and without notifying Republicans of his intentions through a telephone notification procedure called "hot-lining."
