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."

The sad part is it’s to the point that you expect them to exploit events like this every single time something bad happens.

You can trace gunpowder to its source, and then identify who bought it?

RE :”MSNBC host Lawrence O'Donnell:“ NRA is in the Business of Helping terrorist Bombers Get Away With Their Crimes”

That was his opening remark too. More after that, I saw it live. Very entertaining..

My tip :
DVR the Morning Joe tomorrow 6am EST, the hand-ringing by Joe and Mika on this 'failure' will be priceless,
Joe will declare the GOP now a dead party who will never win elections again because of this 'failure'.

Watch him ask dumb Mika again:” What has happened to my Republican party Mika? The conservative party of Reagan, what happened , what, what, what?? ” shaking hands and head!

LOL

But lib Mika has no answer as she is too dumb!

More hysterical blah blah blah from yet another utterly irrational Leftist.

If he’s so eager to save lives, where does he stand on the ongoing murder of America’s unborn children?

I suppose that taking one minute to do a google search would require too much effort for Larry O'Dipsh1t.

Manufacturers of commercial explosives are strongly opposed to placing an identification taggant like the Microtaggant, in commercial explosives. This opposition is grounded in the fundamental issues of safety and cost/benefit analyses. The introduction of any foreign substance into explosive formulations raises serious questions about performance and safety. Additionally, there is minimal benefit to law enforcement while the costs of implementing a Microtaggant-type program are significant.

Seldom do criminals legally purchase explosives.

I’ve long held the theory they were partly to blame for the rage of the Occupy movement.
