Online Gun Seller Sold Weapons To Multiple Killers

Could this guy be any more delusional?

His company has sold guns online to more than one person who then used them to kill innocent people, and his reply? We need to sell more guns online. LOL

MADISON, Wis. — An online weapons dealer who sold a gun or accessories to three mass killers, including a man who opened fire at a Pittsburgh-area health club this week, said Friday that any of the shooters could have just as easily found what they wanted at a Wal-Mart or another store.

Eric Thompson, whose company TGSCOM Inc. last year sold an empty Glock 9 mm magazine and magazine loading apparatus to George Sodini, the man who shot up a Collier Township, Pa., health club on Tuesday, said the sale was legal and his company did nothing wrong.


Selling weapons online must make some quite rich from the looks of things. In fact, real gun stores are said to be losing millions to "online gun dealers." So you know they are selling a lot of guns!

Thompson's company, which is based in Green Bay and employs about 40 people, also sold a gun or accessories to the shooters in the Virginia Tech and Northern Illinois University attacks.

Seung-Hui Cho used a .22-caliber handgun bought from TGSCOM in his attack at Virginia Tech in April 2007, in which 32 people were killed. Stephen Kazmierczak, who killed five people in an NIU classroom before killing himself in February 2008, bought two empty 9 mm Glock magazines and a Glock holster through a TGSCOM site.
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms doesn't keep statistics on online gun sales, but Thompson said online sales are taking business away from stores. Thompson declined to say how much the company made in sales last year, but said it was "in the millions of dollars."


He also sold the Virginia tech killer his gun! Seems this is the hot spot for killers to buy their weapons online!

It is clear this guy just wants to sell more guns and in fact, tries to get guns to be allowed in school! I don't want people walking around a college campus with concealed guns, do you? These gun freaks will stop at nothing to sell weapons and have them in our schools. He sold the killer the guns and then wants to play the victim's friend and sell more guns to them!

Thompson visited the Virginia Tech campus after the attack to support a local chapter of Students for Concealed Carry on Campus. And after the NIU attack, he said the Web site Kazmierczak visited saw a spike in traffic.


These guys use loopholes and the internet to sell guns...

Federal law prevents the public from purchasing a handgun in any state but their own. People can purchase long guns, such as rifles, in border states. Firearms dealers, however, can transfer weapons to one another across state lines.


And his desire to sell weapons seems to be at the front of his defense instead of any kind of social responsibility for arming killers.

Thompson said attacks like Tuesday's underscore the need for people to protect themselves because police can't respond in time to crises, he said.


Denial at it's best.
