This source says the ban sunset in 1998, then was renewed in 2003. The article says the ban was renewed in 1998 for five years. Which is correct?
Gun rights groups are rallying to try to stop any extension of a
federal law to ban undetectable plastic guns, saying that if the House
GOP passes something then Senate Democrats will turn it into a broader

“The
House bill is better than nothing, but it’s not good enough. We
absolutely must close the loophole that allows anyone to legally make a
gun that could be rendered invisible by the easy removal of its metal
part,” said Sen. Charles E. Schumer, a New York Democrat who is leading
the push to pass legislation in the Senate. “Under current law it is
legal to make a plastic gun so long as it has some metal in it, even if
it is easily removable. The bill we’ll try to pass in the Senate would
fix that.”
