Good article, politics & plastic guns

I can recall the panic going way back to the introduction of the Glock in the USA. The then conservative and pro-gun Arizona Republic printed nearly a page opposing the Glock and claimed Libya and other adversaries were buying them in large numbers. Although not mentioned in the attached article there was a panic over the new poly-plastic technology being used to make undetectable ammo. 

The article details how the antis tried to use the panic to write legislation banning many other guns named back then, Saturday Night Specials.
