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

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."

Story tonight is Obama is working with a Saudi representative to arrange the deportation of the Saudi "student" in the hospital with the burns on his hands.

In the world of Journalism, there’s a difference between a Reporter and a Commentator.

The way I describe it is this: the Journalist is a little more careful about hiding his or her bias...

Isn’t it about time for the NRA to sue for libel/slander? Dunno which applies, and I gather there are different rules for organization than individuals, but still...........

I am really shocked they didn't mention the lack of any of Sarah Palin's family running in the marathon, as proof of her prior knowledge.

Looks like the hate focus target is on guns now.

Doesn’t Larry know that Captain Kirk would be dead if he didn’t make his own Gunpowder for the homemade Cannon he used against that big Alien Lizard?

I don’t think Captain Kirk was an NRA Member and I know he didn’t have any money to buy the ingredients.

The NRA sacrifices babies to Satan and eats their flesh. (sarcasm).

The rantings of the lunatic left when foiled are nearly comical.

Do you think MSNBC;s Lawrence O'Donnell knows Paul Kevin Curtis - the guy who sent the Ricin Letters is an active involved Democrat?

Someone should tell the twerp before his network pulls the plug on the story...
