"I only had a couple of seconds to take a picture of it with my cell phone."
A new bill being circulated for co-sponsors in Delaware would make any person in possession of a firearm that is undetectable by a metal detector a felon.
The bill, which has not been posted online, was leaked by State Rep. Jeffery Spiegelman (R) via a phone picture.
Posted from thetruthaboutguns.com, Spiegelman writes, “First, let me apologize for the poor quality. This bill (137) was circulated today for cosponsors and I only had a couple of seconds to take a picture of it with my cell phone. In other words, it is not even online for public viewing yet. Here are my initial thoughts . . .
Spiegelman brings some very interesting points. He writes:
-How do you enforce this if 3D printers are legal, the computer file needed for the 3d printer is legal, and neither are traceable?
-Why does the bill mention parts that are not part of the legal definition of a firearm (in other words, by the letter of this law, after the mentioned parts are removed, the gun could still retain metal sights or other parts and be legal or illegal? If the whole firearm is plastic for a metallic serial number plate, is that illegal?)
-Is the plastic magazine and similar parts illegal or only illegal when attached to a legally defined firearm?
-Is there an official hand held metal detector setting? Commercial metal detectors can detect the iron content of a person’s blood.
-What is undetectable ammunition?
-What is an undetectable magazine?
-Will existing firearms/parts be grandfathered? How would it be known if they are pre or post ban if printed firearms and parts are not dated?

Clearly...
My bad.
A couple of shots of JD will do that to me. Been a very long day.

That one is steel.
True that.
I jumped all over this guy though, and I was wrong about it. Misread it.
I’ve had a few drinks and things aren;t registering well..
Yes, but the article is talking about guns made of NON-METAL material.
Yeah. The metal gun is one of my stock 3-D printer images. So sue me...

I wonder if sintered metal is strong enough for a handgun?
The technology is laser sintered metal powder. It is out of reach of most of us.
Spiegelman is a strong 2nd Amendment supporter and consistently votes against the anti-gun hysteria that oozes out of our General Assembly in Dover. This is a Democrat bill and since both the House and Senate are overwhelmingly Democrat, this ‘proposal’ will probably pass and be put into the books by our left wing administration. We are fast becoming New Jersey, Jr as our nanny legislators outdo each other to put us under their thumbs.
How serious is a Class G felony? And how much is the state regime budgeting for new prisons, hiring new guards, making up for lost revenue, etc.?
Umm, aren’t all guns 3-D?
Just saying.
It is becoming increasingly difficult, nay, impossible to live in freedom in the northeastern states.
Not all printers create plastic parts. There are several methods to produce metal parts with 3D printers.
