Lawmakers Back Bill to Ban Plastic Detour Guns
Police groups and the aviation industry back a bill to outlaw plastic Stealth handguns that evade airport detectors. Rep Robert Mrazak says the threat is imminent and would require new plastic guns to be detectable. NRA officials dismiss the proposal as a ruse while industry researchers warn detectors may miss non metallic weapons unless embedded with detectable devices.
