This came across my Facebook via a group called Occupy the NRA. If true, that means the NRA is not just an impediment to public safety but national security as well.
"This type of technology, which has been around over 30 years, would help us solve cases like the Boston bombing.
But because the NRA says no, and continues to hold Americans hostage to the gun industry, we do not have this capability."
They cite these articles that followed the Oklahoma City bombing. Be sure to read below for additional information on the NRA's position and the type of explosives that would have been covered. If you believe this is a problem, remember that our representatives are complicit because they keep rolling over for the gun lobby.
