I propose some “reasonable restrictions” on the 1st amendment including the banning of highly partisan “news” organizations that shill for crooked politicians. Only an exremist would oppose them.

Even after the Newtown, Conn., massacre, Republican opponents of reasonable firearms restrictions in Congress blocked proposals for strengthened background checks and other steps to make future gun tragedies less likely.

Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't all these proposals die in the Democrat-controlled Senate?

Now the question is whether anti-gun-control extremists will allow a federal ban on the manufacture, sale, import or possession of guns that are undetectable by metal detectors and X-ray machines to expire on Dec. 9.

And what guns would these be?

“When do you think the slimes will start editorializing for restrictions on the First Amendment?”

I believe that they have editorialized for a return of the “fairness doctrine” and for more government regulation of the Internet.

I cannot point to sources, just vague memories. Perhaps others can confirm it.

The MSM’s worship of the first amendment stopped when they lost their virtual control of information dissemination in the United States.

“I have a headache. What ignorant rich didiots these people are. Invisible guns? Shooting invisible bullets? Why not ban ray guns and flash gordon?”

You are close. The purpose is to make technologicaly advanced guns unavailable to the general public. It started with the National Firearms Act of 1934, which made it very difficult for the general public to legally obtain automatic firearms and gun mufflers (suppressors). Both would be cheap and commonly available to everyone in the U.S. if not for the NFA of 1934.

Eventually, guns will be supplanted by another technology. The long term plan is to make sure that new technology is not protected by the second amendment.

In a way, we have an opportunity. The left wants a gun ban. We want to defund obamacare. This opens up a real compromise. Let them ban plastic guns, if, and only if, the same bill defunds obamacare.

They also claimed that the plastic pistol blew up before it could be fired.

Totally metal free guns and ammo may not yet be here. As many have pointed out, ammo needs brass, copper and lead.

But they are working on it, apparently here is a patent:

http://www.freepatentsonline.com/5214237.html

From the abstract it says: “The bullet in the preferred embodiment is characterized by having a high muzzle velocity, a very short effective range, and pulverizes on impact so as to deliver considerable hydrostatic shocking effect by delivery of all of its energy within the first two to three inches of target depth. “

A bit of humor is the page’s advertising has a link that says: “How to Do Meditation?” The goes on to describe how well the bullet works. Sorta how the mob does mediation.

Technology trumps what was.

There is no law that can stop the design and fabrication of more effective and easily reproducible printed firearms.

Back to sticks and stones. They’re probably on the list of restricted items as well. LOL!

"Not difficult to conclude that the NYT would never put these words together: gun control extremists."

I'm certain I'll never see "hoplophobe extremists" printed in the NY Times.

From the article: "...the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives tested a version of the Liberator produced by the agency and found its firepower to be sufficient to “reach vital organs and perforate the skull.”

As to your comment, Back to sticks and stones. They’re probably on the list of restricted items as well. as well as slingshots and a whole host of other things, like private vehicles... the possibilities of things to ban are ENDLESS!

A super soaker, loaded with some nasty liquid, would make it real easy to take over just about anything you wanted.

3D printers will make any new bans impossible.

re: Cabela's "Big Bore™ One- and Two-Piece Blowguns"

Great weapon, and so many different types of ammo! And as long as you have no more than 7 and they are less than 16oz, they are legal in NYC!
