Since detection technology has changed to require a virtual strip search, even 100% plastic guns are detectable. No need to require metal parts any more.

I've always wanted Scaramanga's gun:
With a fountain pen for the barrel
A lighter for the action:
Cigarette case for the handle:
Cufflinks for the trigger:
... and a bullet in the belt buckle:
Of course, in today's age, I'd probably change the lighter to a USB flash drive and the cigarette case to a pocket camera or USB hard drive.

The Undetectable Firearms Act, which was first enacted in 1988 and reauthorized
in 2003, makes it illegal to “manufacture, import, sell, ship, deliver, possess,
transfer or receive” any firearm that’s undetectable by metal detectors and
X-ray machines.
The stupid thing about this law is that the instant you load your "undetectable gun" it becomes detectable.
Modern liberalism is based on the idea that reality is obligated to conform to one's beliefs because; "I have the right to believe whatever I want".
"Everything the State says is a lie, and everything it has it has stolen.

A World Without Guns <- Great Read!
The bill just passed the House by a voice vote. WTF is a voice vote?

means they don't get to go on record supporting gun control.
My understanding is this is a Renewal of existing law only. Does not include any of the expansions Whinycrats wanted.
While that may be true, it is still gun control. Less onerous control than desired by some but still control.
True but 1) the Supreme Court has held that some regulation is constitutional and 2) allowing renewal of existing law removes one more arrow from the Democrat quiver for 2014. As stupid as I think the existing law is, I'll take it over what will pass if the Democrats regain control of the House.
You think this would stop them or even slow them down? Just because it was renewed doesn't mean the same bill couldn't be introduced again.
This is a voice vote for the sole reason of not having to go on record with support. This was a chance to let a useless piece of legislation die. Voice votes should never allow final passage.
