They can legally buy propane and fertilizer too.

Which one would have done more damage if properly used?

You fail at arguments.

When will regressives ever learn that PEOPLE do the dirty deeds?

Terrorists also can get guns illegally.

Law abiding citizens will not get guns illegal. So if you make guns illegal, then law abiding citizens cannot protect themselves because terrorists would have guns while law abiding citizens would not.

Law abiding citizens certainly can. They can buy them at gun shows in Virginia without a background check. Just ask the kids at Virginia Tech.

And they were killed by a law abiding citizen weren't they?

He wasn't a law abiding citizen.

Crazy or evil people will always be able to get guns. It makes sense that non-crazy people should have guns too, so that they can defend themselves/us from the crazy/evil people.

Pimp my shooter: The amazing bling guns that belong to Mexico's drug lords

Mexican soldiers have seized an arsenal of gold-plated and diamond-encrusted weapons believed to belong to the Valencia gang, allies of the powerful Sinaloa drug cartel and, it seems, fans of hip-hip excess.

Showing just how flamboyant gang members spend much of their ill-gotten wealth, pictures show how most of the 31 'pimped' pistols found in a raid on a home in western Mexico had gold or silver-plated grips or were glittered with diamonds.

Three of the assault rifles are almost entirely gold-plated and there was even a silencer plated with gold. One particularly image-conscious gangster has made his pistol unique by adding rows of gaudy red and green jewels and a Ferrari logo.

You are an idiot when it comes to guns and gun laws. Your information is right out of Sarah Brady's ass. Unfortunately for you, it is ALWAYS wrong.

Weapons Purchases Aroused No Suspicion

Pawnshop, Dealer Supplied Handguns

By Brigid Schulte and Sari Horwitz

Washington Post Staff Writers

Wednesday, April 18, 2007

On Feb. 9, Cho Seung Hui walked into a pawnshop on Main Street in Blacksburg, directly across the street from the Virginia Tech campus, and picked up one of the guns he would use in his deadly rampage Monday: a Walther .22-caliber pistol, a relatively inexpensive firearm most commonly used for target shooting or plinking cans.

One month later, on March 16, Cho stepped into Roanoke Firearms, a 3,000-square-foot, full-service gun dealer where more than 350 guns are on display. Cho offered his driver's license, a checkbook that showed a matching address and an immigration card.

Once an instant background check confirmed his clean criminal record, Cho had little else to do, other than pay $571, to become the legal owner of a Glock 19 and a box of 50 cartridges.

With those two handguns -- both easy to use, reliable and semiautomatic -- Cho, 23, carried out a shooting rampage that left 33 people dead, including himself, and injured nearly as many.

Cho's choice of weapons and ammunition explained how he could kill and injure so many people so quickly.

The Glock, often carried by police and members of the military, is also a popular choice for civilians interested in self-defense, gun experts say. Once the trigger is depressed and the bullet fired, the gun ejects the empty shell casing, chambers a new round and is ready to shoot again immediately. The .22-caliber pistol operates in a similar fashion.

Cho's Roanoke purchase, captured on the store's video surveillance, was unremarkable. The owner described Cho as low-key and clean-cut.

"He filled out the paperwork. I sent it to the state police. They gave him a clean bill of health," said owner John Markell. "We're very careful about screening people. We size people up all the time. If we think they're fidgety, we won't sell them a gun."

Joe Dowdy, owner of JND Pawnbrokers in Blacksburg, said Cho did not purchase the gun from him but came into his shop to pick it up, probably after buying it on the Internet. Dowdy said he received the gun from another vendor. Cho came into the shop, showed his ID, filled out some paperwork, waited for a background check and paid a $30 fee.

"People are saying I sold him the firearm," Dowdy said. "I did not."

Dowdy said he cannot be sure that Cho purchased the gun online but that is the most likely explanation for why another vendor would have sent it to the pawnshop for Cho.

Both transactions were legal. Unlike some other states, Virginia has no waiting period before purchasing a handgun; nor does it require registration. State law does limit purchasers to one gun per month.

I just hope that they did not ask him for any identification when he made his pruchase, because that would have been racial profiling. Right arnaldo?
