Plastic Gun Ban
http://www.jointogether.org/gv/news/alerts/reader/0,2061,567324,00.html

Soon to expire ban on NON-EXISTANT plastic guns. Not even the military or CIA has plastic guns cause they don't exist.

1. I dunno

It would be easy to make a plastic gun.

Of course if I made one I wouldnt shoot it, and if anyone wanted to shoot it they would have to sign a very lengthy and very precise waiver, that would relieve me of any responsibility for their firing of it.

4. From the link
"The slide is back and a round is in the chamber. (Once again, no, the gun doesn't really shoot)"

So, it isn't a plastic gun- it is a model gun it will not fire a bullet.

Thats typical of the brave and courageous gun-banners- banning a non problem. Oh boy, there is a real need to ban plastic guns I tell ya!

6. Reminds me of classic joke about keeping tigers away
Edited on Sat Oct-25-03 10:49 AM by slackmaster
One person questions another why he or she keeps performing some kind of bizarre ritual.

The person doing the ritual replies "To keep the tigers away."

First person remarks "But there isn't a tiger within 50 miles of here."

Ritual performer says "See? It's working!"

7. "Invisible Firearm Ban"
The bill should be expanded to include invisible firearms. It is inevitable that scientists will develop transparent aluminum and other transparent metals. Guns made of these materials would be undetectible by both X-Ray scanners and hand inspections! We must stop this now!

While we're at it, we should also ban handheld plastic phasers. They can render passengers and crew unconscious or can vaporize them! They can even burn a hole through the skin of an airplane!
