Senator Charles Schumer (D-NY) has issued a statement that he plans to push for an extension of the law banning undetectable firearms. The current law (100-649) will sunset in December of 2013.

> “Everyone’s seen the movie ‘In The Line of Fire,’ where one of the great bad guys, [played by] John Malkovich, labored at making a gun out of plastic and wood so it could get through metal detectors and he could assassinate the president,” US Senator Charles Schumer said yesterday.

It's genuinely refreshing to have a senator who isn't embarrassed to admit that his newest legislative proposal is inspired by the plot of a Hollywood thriller.
