MSNBC: NRA "in the Business of Helping Bombers Get Away With Their Crimes"
The Weekly Standard ^ | Apr 17, 2013 | DANIEL HALPER

Posted on 04/17/2013 7:46:51 PM PDT by rickmichaels

MSNBC host Lawrence O'Donnell made the case this evening that the National Rifle Association is to blame for the slow investigation into the Boston bombings:

"There are new developments tonight in the bombing investigation here in Boston," said O'Donnell. "But that investigation could be moving faster were it not for the successful lobbying efforts of the National Rifle Association.

The NRA's efforts to guarantee that American mass murderers are the best-equipped mass murders in the world is not limited to murderers who use assault weapons and high-capacity magazines.

The NRA is also in the business of helping bombers get away with their crimes. Gunpowder could be traced by investigators to a buyer at the point of sale if gunpowder contained a taggant, an element that would enable tracing of the purchase of gunpowder.

But thanks to the National Rifle Association, identification taggants are required by law only in plastic explosives. The NRA has successfully blocked any requirements for such taggants in gunpowder. So such supremely helpful evidence as taggants are not available to the FBI in this investigation."

Sue them for libel, just to hasten their eventual collapse into bankruptcy.

Can’t they be sued for broadcasting lies as news? I am so totally sick of that network. We need to get a serious boycott of their sponsors going. Every single one of them. Let’s sink the network once and for all.

MSNBC types prove that if you drink enough, and have enough weird sex, you’ll eventually go crazy.

What’s the matter with these people, especially crazy Larry?

It used to be that we were all Americans and came together under times like these, now the crazies use these diabolical incidents to tear our country apart...Pathetic.
