April 21, 2007 — In the months before his shooting spree at Virginia Tech, Seung-Hui Cho purchased two ammunition clips through the online auction site eBay, ABCNews has learned.
An eBay spokesman confirmed the sale to the Associated Press late today after separate investigations by ABCNews and the Associated Press uncovered the existence of Cho's auction account.
"It's apparent that he purchased the empty magazine clips," eBay spokesman Hani Durzy told the AP. "They're similar to what could be purchased in any sporting goods store around the country."
Cho apparently purchased a two-pack of 10-round ammunition clips for a Walther P22 on March 22, 2007, less than a month before killing 32 people and himself at Virginia Tech. The ammunition was purchased on eBay from Elk Ridge Shooting Supplies. Police have said Cho used a Walther P22 during his bloody rampage Monday.
In addition to purchasing ammunition online, Cho appears to have sold used copies of books filled with violent themes and overtones on an eBay affiliated Web site called half.com.

>>>Do you know if there is even a background check required to purchase a taser?
I think the “powder” powered Tasers are sold to LE departments only, but the new, gas powrered ones are available to all, W/O any BI as they are not firearms.
I guess when I saw this and made a post right here on FR about it yesterday I must have been ignored.
Well, it appears that ignorance is fostered by marketing folks as well. That term, regardless of where you find it, is incorrect.
Politicians in the highest offices the world over celebrated the millinium a year too early. They were still wrong.
This is what it originally said. April 21, 2007 — ABCNews has learned that in the months before his shooting spree at Virginia Tech, Seung-Hui Cho may have purchased 20 rounds of ammunition through the online auction site eBay. An eBay account holder who appears to be Cho purchased a two-pack of 10-round ammunition clips for a Walther P22 on March 22, 2007, less than a month before Cho killed 32 people and himself at Virginia Tech. The ammunition was purchased on eBay from Elk Ridge Shooting Supplies for the same type of weapon used by Cho in his bloody rampage last week.
They would probably wet their pants once they see the photos. Libs have an irrational fear of anything “gun.”
Do they wear pants?
Such is life.
Media ignorance on parade. Apples and oranges.
Thanks holymoly your post 13 is the best I have ever seen on the Free Republic site that describes what the differences are between a magazine and a clip. It is one of the things that will tell me instantly how educated a person is when speaking about firearms. If the person uses the clip jargon I know that they are superficial in gun knowledge or ignorant (except when talking about true clip usage, as in the M1 Grand, etc). If the said person uses the term magazine correctly (when it comes to firearms) they take a step up in my eyes.
Trying to “tickle” her cognitive thought process, I called back “I forgot, but he used to be Governor of Denver!”
She called back, “I know, I know, but what’s his name!!!!”
She was beautiful... and 12 months later she was anchoring in New York.
