Internet Firearm Dealer Talks

[dixieD]

It is currently being reported that both the VT and NIU shooters have purchased materials from the same internet site.

Owner of website after hearing of the shooting checked records and sure enough the NIU shooter purchases two magazines and a holster days before, with the shipment arriving 2 days before the shooting.

I sure hope we're not headed toward 1) waiting periods for magazines, holsters all other firearm accessories, 2) banning of firearm, and ammo sales from the internet.

I can already see them baning internet sales of ammo. It is already hard enough to get ammo thru the mail.

He legally purchased the handgun and shotgun through a local FFL, so I presume if needed he could have bought the magazines and ammo with no problem. Maybe there's some sort of great anticipation mentality involved, who knows. But banning sale by mail just means this think would have happened earlier. I can't see anything comng of it.

Before the internets, nobody dies from shooting. The internet is a series of tubes which is filled with magazines, and bullets. And holsters.

This will sound weird,

But the new law will be for the number of magazines you can own. Right after VT, I was practicing at TargetMasters and the first thing the janitor service guy said was "That's a lot of magazines."

I had 10 on the bench, doing failure drills with some plastic rounds so having 10 loaded ready to go puts some randomness in the practice.

It's all google's fault. . .

If you type glock accessories into google - the site you are referencing comes up.

At what point do we hold the shooter responsible? The fact that the magazines or whatever were bought from a certain vendor is irrelevant.

to the libs, NONE...

Exactly... The gun made him do it, and the accessories made him more evil.

Riiiight... I'd believe that... and somethig about monkeys...

What about the shoes that he wore or the car he drove there? Did he buy those on the internet, too?

You are on to something there. Just heard on KGO that this dude bought some combat boots from the internet and they were to small.

Because it was the internet he had a hard time returning them so he had to wear them all the time and this caused excruciating pain which caused him to go mad!

So he kept shooting people till he found a pair of shoes that would fit properly.

BAN THE INTERNET I SAY! ITS THE INTERNETS FAULT!

Maybe you should explain this to CNN and other anti gunners.
