  3. Taggants: Still a better way to track a bomber

    A number of commenters on the online version of our April 28 Op-Ed,&nbsp; <a href="http://www.latimes.com/news/opinion/commentary/la-oe-zoellner-taggants-boston-nra-20130428,0,3806681.story">"A better way to track a bomber,"</a> argue against the use of taggants to trace explosives because the suspects in the Boston bombings, the Tsarnaev brothers, were identified through other means -- namely the publicizing of videotape from the scene and the flood of resulting tips. That&rsquo;s certainly true. However, taggants at the scene might have brought about a quicker and cleaner investigation, and perhaps avoided the death of one law enforcement officer and a city held hostage. &nbsp;

  7. Cowardly Senate runs away from gun background checks

In the White House Rose Garden, surrounded by families of children gunned down at Sandy Hook Elementary School, President Obama called the Senate vote &ldquo;shameful&rdquo; and declared that this was &ldquo;just Round 1&rdquo; in the fight to get gun safety legislation adopted by Congress.
