In article , says... was one of 10 to vote against Head Start, one of four to vote against banning plastic weapons that can pass through metal detectors. Plastic weapons? Did he really say that? I can't believe that nonsense is still floating around. At least with current technology, a gun still needs metal to surround the round in the chamber, even if the rest of the thing is made of a composite material. Was Edwards referring to plastic eating utensils? :-) The point was the Cheney voted against banning such weapons, not that they exist. jps OK, but it should be embarrassing to even mention the existence of such things. Even the anti-gun lobby doesn't talk about it any more. :-) It's quite possible to make a handgun out of plastic, and carry a pen whose barrel also serves as the chamber liner. Yeah, but: 1) How quickly could you reload after the first shot before someone with an attitude (like me) ripped a lunch tray off one of the seats and beat you to death with it? and B) It's common knowledge that even a large caliber round like a .44 would not do enough damage to bring down a plane. Even if it could, It would take quite an engineering feat to design a plastic thing with a removable metal tube that would withstand a powerful round, not to mention the need for it to remain intact while being fired. ...oh....and: III: You'd have to assemble it. Go back to the lunch tray. :-) |
