For the utter stupidity of our enemy, let us thank G-d

I was going to include this in next week’s alert newsletter, but it’s so monumentally moronic, it needs to be addressed here, too.

Seeking to ban ‘undetectable’ guns, Rep. Madeleine Dean proposes law
The current law “does not adequately address today’s technologies or security risks,” said Dean, who represents Montgomery County. “Today, we face a more pressing issue — firearms made entirely of plastic, or with so much plastic that they fall below the current law’s detection standard.”

“…with so much plastic that they fall below the current law’s detection standard.”

@RepDean actually did it. She filed a bill to make it illegal to violate the Undetectable Firearms Act (18 U.S.C. § 922(p)).

If the firearm doesn’t contain 3.7 ounces of steel, the maker has committed a felony. Ms. Dean’s bill would make it illegal to commit that felony.

If a plastic firearm doesn’t show up on airport x-ray, the maker has committed a felony. Ms. Dean’s bill would make it illegal to commit that felony.

To be sure of the latter, one could add barium sulfate to the plastic mix, but it really isn’t necessary. While this fact is apparently unknown to materials scientist Dean, doctors, nurses, veterinarians, parents, and anyone else who has had to deal with a child or pet who swallowed a plastic toy — heck, anyone who did a cursory web search of weird pictures — is well aware that…

Yes, plastic shows up in x-rays.

I don’t have the bill number, much less the text. I’ve asked Rep. Dean for that information. But I think it’s fair enough to take her at her own word.

Added: Here it is: H.R. 869: To modernize the Undetectable Firearms Act of 1988. No summary or text yet. 14 co-sponsors, including Jackson Lee and Swalwell; actually, it’s a regular list of the dimmest of Dems.

  1. I’d slap the side of my head, but I am shaking it so hard, I am certain I would miss. And this is the kind of talent that people elect. And then wonder why we elected Trump.

  2. I read things like this and marvel at how STUPID are some of our “folks.” Making something illegal that is already illegal is illogical and well, just plain ignorant and STOOOOOPID.
