The fix was in.

Racing to the abject surrender ceremony, the NRA weeniemobile spins out once again.
House extends Undetectable Firearms Act as Rep. Massie claims sole opposition.
The bill to extend the act was introduced yesterday by Rep. Howard Coble, a North Carolina Republican, and co-sponsored by New York Democrat, Rep. Steve Israel, a vocal opponent of 3D printing technology applied to gunmaking, as well as a committed proponent of “gun control” edicts. Gun Rights Examiner reported last Tuesday that the National Shooting Sports Foundation had endorsed passage of the extension under the justification they feared something worse would pass, and the National Rifle Association had remained silent on the issue, refusing to make a vote to extend the ban affect political grades.
Now that this beachhead has been surrendered without a fight, it heads to the Senate where, per Bloomberg Businessweek, “Democratic lawmakers are considering revisions to deal with emerging technology.” That beachheads are used to launch further incursions is precisely the analogy this column made when arguing against just ceding the issue.

And what else will they be doing behind our backs? Sure, keep our minds occupied on Obamacare while they whittle away every aspect of freedom that might interfer with their power structure.

It would appear that their treasons, know no bounds.

How willing they are to gut the constitution, bill of rights, human rights, and historical precedents to get what they want.

They never tire of betraying these things and of course that also means that they are consciously betraying the American people, at every opportunity. There is no cost in doing so, evidently.

Personally, if I'm not allowed to carry a gun aboard a commercial aircraft, I don't want anyone else to get away with carrying a polymer non-detectable gun on board either. The part that bothers me is the possible extensions to the bill which could be twisted into other consequences. It also bothers me that Mr. Speaker had a voice vote so we'll never know who voted yea or nay.

Where is the legitimacy in a regime where 9 people out of 435 can purport to make "law" violating the rights of 330 million subjects ... And that is clearly how they view us ... as subjects, not as citizens and THEIR masters.

Only fools worry about polymer guns on aircraft when all it took was ordinary razor blades to take control if and destroy airliners killing everyone on board and thousands more in the ground.

Put every airline on the same level - each chooses themselves as a matter of private business whether to allow firearms. Watch as the airline that chooses to abide by people's rights gain more ridership at less cost (far less "security" to fund).

I have zero problem riding on a plane with a bunch if armed people. The MORE the BETTER!

One Thousand years or so ago the first firearms were made from wood, bamboo and such with stone projectiles.
Depending on the type of stone used this type of weapon is undetectable by X-ray or metal detector.

Modern improvements to this old tech makes this atrocity on logic of a law nullified by reality.
