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."
he;s a Democrat, funny how I never heard about his party registration till your post, mmmmmmmmmm
By your own "logic", I'd think you'd be scared s***less of saying anything bad about them.
What a lame, transparent attempt to link a terrorist attack to gun control.
Pathetic.

Shame, shame on you! Such an insult...to Charles Manson.
You have obviously never seen black powder go off. The smoke produced is very white indeed, as is the case with black powder substitutes(at least the ones I have used). It is easy to make black powder, any one can do it as long as the ingredients are available and they are. Taggents would not pin point a buyer who paid cash or made his own. This was debated heavily when the push was on to introduce taggents to explosives. BTW, gun powders, including the black powder used in muzzle loaders, are not classified as explosives, they are propellents.
One more fact, the expression gun powder is usually used when referring to black powder, not smokeless.

Nah....he’s just a ho....follow the money : )
It sounds to me that Obama is in the businessn of protecting Chechen terrorists.

Obama is in the business of treason.”
They didn’t hijack a car with an NRA sticker on it. The sticker said “Coexist”....fools.
Smart boys. At least in that choice.
