The quote is actually "it appears that the technology exists", which means what?
Did OTA get their information from Red Eye?
Greg Eyring, a chemist with the congressional Office of Technology Assessment, said that even if Red Eye does not come up with a plastic gun, he believes eventually someone else will.

This one names a chemist by name, not saying quite the same thing.
In January 2011, Rachel said that Glock claimed that they made and perfected such a all plastic gun. Glock made no such claim. Glock made no such gun.
by metal detectors? That means that everyone that is protected by metal detectors from the Capitol building to an airport to an event to see the president, youd be able to get your gun in there, scot-free. You could walk right through a metal detector with your gun and nobody would know you had that gun.
Should it be legal to carry an all-plastic gun?
These things can be manufactured. Glock, the company that made the gun that was used in the Arizona shooting this weekend, Glock announced back in the 1980s that they had perfected manufacturing techniques that would allow them to do this.
Should an undetectable gun like that be legal to buy in the United States? No. That should not be legal. At least, that was the decision that our country made when the issue came up. Congress voted on whether plastic guns should be legal to sell in this country back in 1988. The measure passed the House by a vote of 413 to four. There were only four votes against it.

Rachel was wrong. Need I repeat Glock made no such claim, Glock made no such gun.

And the pro-gun crowd just smiles, knowing that one of their own will likely not be convicted.

This is nonsensical flamebait, and an obvious attempt to disrupt the Gun Control & RKBA Group...

But there are a number here that have embraced the term and admit to being anti-gun zealots

So one of your sources is a pro-gun blogger with a clear NRA bias, we can toss him out.

Well, at least you recognize that she didn't actually say anything that was incorrect.

Spot-on. And why (in this instance) Rachel is even sleazier than a liar.

Iverglas wants to ban private ownership of handguns. That is not "gun-friendly". nt
