The E-Bay/VA Tech shooter connection Media blitz is disturbing to me
The media is reporting this connection with underlying tones that some kind of evil transaction took place.
Two different channels, FOX and CNN have had reporters begin their reports by stating that the shooter bought "Ammunition" on E-Bay.
Later in the report they mention "10 shot magazine clips." as if "Ammunition" and "10 shot magazine clips" are one in the same.
Again this is an example of the media sticking their nose into something and attempting to force changes be made in the name of "Political Correctness" using incorrect and deceiptful information and underhanded tactics.
I sell magazine and gun parts on E-Bay now and then.
I require a statement that buyers provide proof of age and proof of legality with payment.
There is nothing illegal about selling parts of firearms on E-Bay and I resent the media making something negative out of the connection between the shooter, E-Bay, and the seller.
Because there is, in essence, a "Waiting period" involved in an online sale due to receipt of payment and time to complete the shipment, then,
If the E-Bay sale shows anything at all,,,,the sale shows intent and premeditation on the part of the shooter and nothing else.
I hope E-Bay is not so intimidated by these fools that they capitulate and force the cessation of legal free trade.
