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.

CBS biased? Say it ain't so....

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.

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.

And is the Brady Center an unbiased source? No bias from CBS here...

He was 23, but I think his immigration status should have prevented him from buying a gun (not sure of his true citizenship status).

Meanwhile, a former campus police chief at Virginia Tech told CBS News that in recent years the school had bucked the state legislature and hunting culture and took steps to safeguard its student population.

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.

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.

Make the sign bigger. Add these words..”This time we mean it!” Call it a success.
