Didn't take long....Today's Herald editorials pages (and also nationally) via this nationally published "journalist" Marvin Leibstone:
<<< "Important, of course, is that political agendas be kept out of the way. In the late 1970s an arm of the U.S. Congress, the now defunct Office of Technology Assessment, explored the use of color-marked “taggants” in explosives. After an explosion, these tiny granules would be swept up from debris. The colors would be used to help identify where the explosives were made and last sold, maybe lead to the perpetrators.
The idea was killed by the National Rifle Association arguing that use of “taggants” in explosives could lead to shotgun-owners being identified and registered by color-coding, an infringement on individual rights, they claimed. That eliminated one more anti-terror tool...">>>
So, therefore, Mr. Leibstone and millions of his readers: It's OK for YOU to express YOUR political agenda, as long as it throws crap and a little veiled hatred at the NRA and NRA members, correct Mr. Leibstone??
