ANOTHER Philadelphia solution to a problem that does not exist. :: 11/13/2013

We're going to give Philadelphia City Hall the Dumbazz of the Week Award on this one. Anyone who has been checking the internet knows that the only plastic parts that have produced are a portion of a lower receiver for an AR and a trigger mechanism. Does anyone remember the "undetectable" Glock plastic gun furor? There is a company that has produced a pistol made of Inconel. First of all, the machinery necessary to do this costs a small fortune. Then there's assembly. Before all of that, a furnace to reduce the Inconel to plasticity. We don't see gang bangers laying out 10 grand for a 1911 they can buy off the street for a few bucks. We think Philadelphia would do well to enforce straw purchase violations, and start putting criminals in JAIL. 15 or 16 year olds in JAIL on gun charges? We'll be happy to listen to any reasonable argument telling us why they should be set free to commit more crimes. We won't buy the argument, but we will listen.
