CBS News: Shooter Used Pistol, Handgun In State With No Registration, Gun-Waiting Period
(CBS) A well-placed law enforcement source tells CBS News the weapons used in the massacre were a 9 mm semi-automatic handgun and .22-caliber pistol.
Both are readily available in gun shops across the United States and particularly accessible in the commonwealth of Virginia, which recently earned a C-minus rating by the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence.

Prepare yourself, and arm yourself with the facts to throw back into the faces of the emotional and ignorant.
Arm yourselves with weapons to resist those that are actively trying to erode your freedoms.
But VA Tech declared themselves a “Gun-Free zone” - see how good that worked?
Let the whoring begin!
How old was this kid? Its still hard to get a gun in VA if youre under 21.
I am waiting for David Horowitz to document the anti-American hate curriculum of an English major at VT. Wait til we see what that South Korean immigrant was forced to read.
Here come the Michael Mooreites. Or Michael Mooreons rather.
And is the Brady Center an unbiased source? No bias from CBS here...
If just a couple people in addition to that lunatic had been carrying a 9mm hand gun...
...or the Michael Moveons.org.
Get ready folks. The gun grabbers and their sycophants in the media are going to really poor it on in the next few days.
EASY-TO-GET because THEY ARE LEGAL!!!!!!!!!!!, He was NOT and AMERICAN CITIZEN! HE WAS NOT SUPPOSED TO HAVE THEM IN THE FIRST PLACE! HE WAS ILLEGALLY CARRYING AND USING THEM!...............SEE HOW WELL GUN LAWS WORK?...........
He was 23, but I think his immigration status should have prevented him from buying a gun (not sure of his true citizenship status).
Oh brother.
Nah. Most likely he was dumped by a girl and just couldn't handle it.
There are plenty of men like him. And they do similar things. The difference here, though, is that this guy had a whole campus of disarmed sheep that he could trap, which is one reason so many were killed.
They didn't derserve it, of course, and everybody wishes for a world where things like this can't happen. But there is no such world.
Here comes the gun-grabbers...
He was apparently a permanent resident alien with a green card, and they (assuming all their other paperwork is in order and they pass the instant check) can buy guns. Supposedly Cho bought the Glock 9mm from a gun shop in Roanoke, and it was a perfectly legal sale in the Commonwealth of Virginia. (They found the receipt in his backpack, dated 9 March.)

The killer was a foreign student and could not LEGALLY have bought the guns. When guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns. The government does such a swell job controlling the border and the contraband that streams across it, so why do they think they can control guns any better?
He was 23, and apparently purchased his 9mm legally thirty-five days ago, according to some other posts I have read this morning.
***But VA Tech declared themselves a “Gun-Free zone” - see how good that worked?***
Make the sign bigger. Add these words..”This time we mean it!” Call it a success.
I’ll tell you what... an assault rifle ban is one thing. But any attempt at banning .9mm or .22, this country will go nuts. Those are probably the most common hand guns out there.
I think the alleged gun dealer's shop is Roanoke Fire Arms. This was posted on the guy's profile. The poor guy is going to be eaten alive by the media.
That being said, if MORE students had been allowed to have legal guns, I'm pretty sure the death toll would have been a lot lower. The bad guy could have been taken out sooner. Instead, these students were left completely defenseless.
A legal resident with a green card, so his purchase of the firearms was perfectly legal?.............Then why were the serial numbers tampered with? (according to the media)......
From the Virgina State Police web site:
Does one have to have U.S. citizenship to be eligible to purchase a firearm?
A buyer who is not a citizen of the United States must have lawful alien status and must establish that he or she is a resident of a state by providing a valid photo identification and documentation such as a utility bill or lease agreement which would establish that he or she has resided in the state for at least 90 days prior to the date of the sale.Congress has passed prohibitions that apply to "any alien in the United States in a non-immigrant status" with certain exceptions and a waiver process. Contact the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives if you have questions about these regulations.
Bump for later..........
I have no idea about the serial numbers. All I know is what I read from the guy who allegedly sold him at least one of the weapons (more at the link I posted above). And that information from the gun dealer was posted last night, long before anyone knew the perp’s name. It looks legit to me. I guess time will tell.
"IRONICALLY"?? How bout stupidly? How about unconstitutionally?
The s/n may have been another bs msm story, but if they were the POS may have planned this a long time...........
I posted the quote and the link but I am not the seller, just found this on another site. In any case, I predict there will be federal legislation banning the purchase and possession of firearms by permanent legal residents.
Now Rosie is interpreting the constitution. She’s saying that the right to bear arms meant a musket and a black powder cannon, not a 9mm semi auto.
Then why can’t we carry muskets to college classes?......
Rosie just blasted Bush for going to VTech today and saying it took him weeks to get to Katrina. She is now saying Gun Control is never going to happen the NRA is too large to go after. She is a mad and angry women who thinks that if conservatives and Bush Administration were all removed from the earth that she and her other following would live in peace and harmony. SHe really is so unreal.
“Rosie just blasted Bush...”
She’s just `psyching-up’ for the annual `Running of the Bull-Dykes’ on Lombard Street this weekend.
(My $$ is on Rosie by a nose, Hill 2nd, then Reno)
BS. Plenty of men don't kill people when they get dumped by their girlfriends.
Non-citizens can purchase a firearm in the US, as long as they’re legal citizens.
Many people come to the US, begin shooting, and bring those positive experiences (but not their guns) back to their home countries. The Japanese are particularly fond of American shooting sports.
Don't worry, before all is said and done, it will be Bush's fault for not having an emergency homeland security terrorist swat squad ready for just this type of situation.
What bothers me is WHY did it take 2/12 hours for ANY police action/ Why were police standing around OUTSIDE of the building while this sicko took his time picking off people at his leisure?
This underlines the true role our police play, as uniformed crime scene investigators. Crime prevention is a myth propagated by Lame stream media and police state democrats.
Thankfully, many crews NOW ARE ARMED!!!
BS. Plenty of men don't kill people when they get dumped by their girlfriends.
I don't believe that for a second. It doesn't fit the profile of a love sick looser. They normally kill the girl, maybe her new boyfriend, then themselves. They are hiding something, probably his connection to a Malaysian Jihad group.
Notice the MSM’s use of the term “semi-auto”.
My bro-in-law was spouting off one day about how ridiculous it was that people could by “semi-auto” firearms. I asked him to define what a “semi-auto” was - he looked at me blankly and admitted he didn’t know.
So her body guards carry Brown Bess’ into her kids school with them? A Musket was State of the Art at the time and no mention of limits to the type of weapon is made in the 2nd Amendment. And marriage was between a Man and a Woman.
ABC News Radio did the exact same thing over and over again last night, simply repeating Virginia's "Brady Center grade" in the heart of the main hard news story.
They're not even trying to hide the bias any more.
The gun laws here in MA are so stringent that the WV Mountaineer couldn’t have his musket when they played BC.
That is pure idiocy............Paul Revere must be spinning in his grave...............
Sorry for the confusion. I knew that, and I didn't mean to imply that you were the actual dealer.
Yep, I think the same thing. This kid was mixed up with something.
Congratulations. Nice work...
Since the majority of gun owner’s are law abiding, moral citizens who would never ever even think about mass murder I had my call of BS to all the other folk calling the same.
One person is responsible. The shooter. The one who decided to take life in his own ends, violating the laws of God and man. The one who held human life in such low contempt that he killed with no more thought than we do when squishing roaches. The one who drunk on death, pain, fear and power extinguished the bright shining souls of 32 children of God. The one who will feel hell’s fire and the worm feeding on him for all eternity. He is the one responsible.
Guns are a tool. If anyone had been able to fire back, stopping yesterday’s rampage then so many people would not have died. Guns in the hands of an evil person become the instrument of evil. In the hands of a good person guns become the instrument of good. Life is worth defending and if a gun is the best means of doing so I say great bring on the fire power.
I do believe there will be a greater push for new gun control laws like - eliminating the gun show loop hole in the Brady Bill.
