Cho Bought Ammo on eBay

I think you're a bit confused. Neither a half moon clip or a magazine are "ammo" they do not go bang. They are just parts of a revolver and a pistol, respectively. The term "magazine round" is meaningless. A round is a loaded cartridge, a magazine is something you load rounds into.

eBay does not sell firearms or ammunition.

No confusion. "Ammunition clips" just didn't fit into the headline. Not all ammo goes "bang" and the bullets would not have killed without the paraphernalia.

Guns don't kill people, people kill people. This guy was psycho and was going to take his preconcived notions out on anyone he could. He wen't after everybody not just certain people. He was going to kill that day no matter what. He could have used a nuber of things to do it. He just so happened to use a gun. If we take away our right to bear arms do you really think that will keep them out of the bad guy's hands? And to advise people like myself to have a little word with the guy who was selling the clips on e-bay well i think that is wrong. what if the e-bay guy was selling nails and cho killed them with a nail gun? Should we then ban nail guns?.......

God Bless Virginia Tech.- Go Hokies. This was a henious crime and we, the Commonwealth of Virginia, will take years to overcome what he took away. There is nothing illegal about what he brought from ebay. He also purchased about 100 rubber ducks. Nothing illegal about that either. One can purchase many things on ebay, but they don't use it to hurt others. I'm with you enuffsaid...he was going to kill that day regardless. If he hadn't gotten his ammo on ebay he would have gotten it somewhere else. This was unavoidable and it more of a situation that arose from a failure in the mental health procedures...not from an ebay seller.
