The anti-2A media is at it again

This disgusting little nugget was just put out on the wire by the Associated Mess:

Gym gunman used same Web store as Va. Tech college shooter

By Associated Press

POSTED: 09:49 a.m. EDT, Aug 07, 2009

BRIDGEVILLE, Pennsylvania: The gunman who killed three women and wounded nine others at a Pittsburgh-area health club bought accessories for a handgun from the same dealer that sold a gun to the Virginia Tech shooter.

Forty-eight-year-old George Sodini bought the accessories from TGSCOM Inc. of Green Bay, Wisconsin.

Police investigating Tuesday's shootings at the L.A. Fitness center in Collier Township have said Sodini bought his weapons legally.

TGSCOM's president, Eric Thompson, confirmed the purchases after WPXI-TV in Pittsburgh obtained a receipt. Thompson says he's cooperating with investigators.

Sodini committed suicide after the shootings, as did Seung-Hui Cho who bought a .22-caliber handgun from TGSCOM in February 2007, two months before he killed 32 people at Virginia Tech.

I can publish a local link to the article if someone wants it.

The guy bought freakin' accessories from TGSCOM. They've fashioned this little blurb in a lame attempt to stir up sentiment against this business, IMO. I've got to try and maintain an even keel, or my damned head is gonna explode before I reach retirement!

There's no "again" in regards to the anti-2A media. They are ALWAYS 'at it'.
It's their template, their M.O., their heart's desire.

OMG, 2nd drunk driver bought gas at the same Shell station!!! OMG, OMG!!!

:banghead:

 

[DoubleTapDrew]

Even more horrifying is that they both bought their underwear at Wal-Mart!!! Shut them down! Shut them down now before we all die!!!

Killing people should be illegal...oh wait...

A child could see through this line of BS. "Accessories" oh good lord its terrifying! Guns don't kill people, holsters kill people.

 

[mljdeckard]

That's how you can tell they have nothing. They print a non-story.

 

[stchman]

Yes, holsters and gun oil is very suspicious.

Like you all realize, a loaded gun is a harmless hunk of metal until a HUMAN BING picks it up. I've been aggravated for years the the anti media just won't understand....or re-fuses to understand....that the root cause of violence in the world is human behavior. Now granted, for bad guys....or good guys that GO bad....guns are a convienient means to an end.

.....but so are cars, money, steak knives, etc. If we outlawed alchohol maybe no more people would die in car accidents....oh, but history proves that won't work. Outlawing or banning something only breeds crime.

I the antis ever get their way.....guns will be sold from the trunks of cars in high school parking lots fom unscrupulous dealers....with NO record of sale period.

The guy was a total nutjob.

The WHOIS shows the domain was registered in 2000, so it's not a fake.

As an aside, it's entire possible he bought his stuff there because the media told everyone where the VT shooter got his gear.

 

[MMCSRET]

Yes, and they both ate carrots and it is a statistically proven fact that every person to have eaten carrots prior to 1891 died.

 

[Autolycus]

Who cares?

 

[Erik M]

Dont buy a gun from that store, you'll go mad killing everyone and yourself.

I'm with ya, but they do understand. They just like that saying "Never let the facts get in the way of a good story."

 

[travellingJeff]

I'm nervous, I bought my EDC SIG from TopGlock (Also sigsauerpro.com, and many more under that umbrella). Gosh, when am I going to go on a TGS inspired shooting spree! THE HORRORS!!!!

 

[doc2rn]

I wonder if I could get some good accessories for a Marlin mod 60 there

 

[travellingJeff]

Has anyone else Thought --WHY cant we start a news paper - A tv news- if we opened a newspaper right in the same town as a liberal paper-Washtimes Ny times We could cut into there business so much the union thuggs whould have to take massive cuts in order to survive- A tv news to compete with CNN and PBS. we could do it so much cheeper and cost the libs so much they would have to change -Or die!!

 

[2RCO]

I've been afraid for years that some Nutjob is gonna buy a pair of 2RCo grips and do something idiotic. They haven't so far or at least I've never heard of it. But seriously how can you blame anyone other than the numbtard criminal?

I may buy something from these guys to show my support for their business---they sure had nothing to do with the killings.

Brady is just at the old Persecute the Manufacturers out of business method of gun control again.

 

[Guthrie]

You know, generally I don't pay attention to anti-gun articles. In fact for the most part I consider myself rather liberal to an extent. But when I read this piece this morning on the front page of CNN I couldn't believe what I was reading. By far the dumbest, knee jerk piece of retarded journalism ive encountered this year.

Im glad this writer whet to journalism school to learn how to take non important, random facts and tie them together into a ridiculous story.

 

[22-rimfire]

Guilty by association. You can make just about any argument with that approach. Sad they would even print such thin linkage like it actually was significant.

Hey, WS, the edit button is your friend. I hate to be lead into reading the very same text twice in the same post.

 

[DanielW]

sports mart sold baseball bats used in many gang realted killings/beating. Coming up on the news at 6.

A child could see through this line of BS.

Sadly, a lot of adults won't.

 

[RDCL]

You have to wonder how many positive gun related incidents go un-reported throughout the country. Example: Man sucessfully defends home & family against invaders......or.....young college gal scares off potential rapist after pulling handgun from purse. Seriously, I have NO idea how many times incidents related to these take place but I'd bet there are quite a few.

....and yes, these are NEWS stories....or should be anyway. I think most people do know better, thank god...despite the elitist medias anti propaganda.
