| Subject: Rights: US Senate votes to ban plastic guns for 10 more years Mon Dec 09, 2013 8:48 pm | |
| The US Senate has approved a 10-year extension of a ban on plastic guns invisible to metal detectors but has rejected tougher restrictions called for by gun-control advocates.
The bill was approved by a Senate voice vote one week after it passed the House of Representatives.
Democrats had aimed to require a gun's firing mechanism to contain at least one undetachable metal piece.
The ban has gained new relevance with the spread of at-home 3D printing.
