Explosive taggants.....a means to trace explosives before and after.....guess who is fighting this

I heard a former ATF agent say they have the technology to trace most bombs by requiring taggants in explosives......they tried 10 years ago to get this common sense bill through Congress......but the NRA fought this bill.

We have lost our fricking minds to allow gun merchants to profit on carnage and use their profits to payoff congress. These are traitors in our midst. They are guilty of treason as they assist domestic and foreign terrorist to harm this nation.

He explained that after a bomb explodes these micro magnetic glow in the dark chips can readily be collected and quickly give information about the batch and sales path. We need to put a wooden stake in the heart of NRA. It is time for direct political action against the same. I hope it will return from a shill for gun merchants reaping obscene profits off fear and death, and return to the NRA of my youth......when training and safety took precedence over profit.

It is impossible to imagine what contorted connection the NRA could try and construct between the 2nd amendment and these taggants. Who can they claim to be protecting by banning such an ability to trace explosives? Cowardly terrorists?

I, too, heard a discussion on this topic and the rationale' given for the NRA's opposition to the taggants in explosives is that it would then be connected to gun powder which is connected to ammo and that is deal breaker in their minds.

Which law abiding citizen would this adversely effect? Their reasoning is non-existent. Now, look what Bloomberg is doing.

New York Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg said his group, Mayors Against Illegal Guns, is going to take a page from the NRA playbook and start scoring members of Congress, from A through F.
“For decades, the NRA has done an admirable job of tracking to minute detail how members of Congress stand on gun bills,” said the group’s director, Mark Glaze, United Press International reported. “We’ve simply decided to do the same.”

despite NRA faults can you imagine the carnage that the dems would reap if they could go willy nilly into gun control as they did health care?

PD, you are creating a straw man with that position and you know it. The 'Dems' are not going willy nilly into control . . . . . . . and bringing in healthcare puts your position untenable. I think you are resistant to any form of gun control for your own personal reasons, I appreciate that, trying to demonize the issue with what the 'Dems' will do are a matter of record . . . they advocate background checks and closing the loop holes in gun shows. Is this a game changer? NO is the answer and the American people support these measures . . . . . but the fear mongering continues and the carnage continues.
