Critics said
Critics said that so-called "plastic" handguns contain many metal components (such as the slide, barrel and ammunition), and can be detected by conventional screening technologies. Their response was to say the type of polymer used in the firearms is opaque to X-ray scanners, which would've hidden the metal components.[1]
Here's the closest text in the source and it ain't the same at all:p.425
At the end of 1987 Senator Howard Metzenbaum introduced a bill banning pistols that contained less than 8.5 ounces of steel, ensuring no guns could pass through metal detectors.104 Major gun control groups like Josh Sugarmann and the National Coalition to Ban Handguns supported the bill, claiming that, while the Glock 17 was not invisible to metal detectors, “[t]he technology for developing a 100 percent plastic gun is around the corner.”105 Handgun Control Inc. echoed this position, saying, “everyone agrees the technology is here or around the corner and Congress has the unique opportunity to take preventative measures[, u]ntil we have the safeguards to detect non-metallic handguns, we have to ban them from the marketplace.”106 Not surprisingly, the ban on pistols containing less than 8.5 ounces of steel was strongly opposed by the NRA and other gun advocacy groups.107
I don't see any criticism of the Brady Campaign. Unless someone can point it out I'm gonna delete this crap. Maybe replace it with their accurate prediction of 3D printed guns. Felsic2 (talk) 16:49, 22 March 2016 (UTC)

One critic says
One critic says that the groups was pleased that the public confused semi-automatic rifles with machines guns as it made banning the former easier.[1][2]
There ain't nothing in the NSSF press release about this group. I'm deleting the citation and naming the critic. Felsic2 (talk) 17:16, 22 March 2016 (UTC)
