NBC news got it right by saying that it was ammo clips, but said that they held 30, not 20.

Thank you for this info. I heard earlier that he bought his weapon on line, but they did not say where, or any of that, I can't remember which network I was even on when I heard that, but I was wondering if this isn't going to be a back-door way of the leftists to control some of the internet sites and such.

I don't even want to get into all what I mean by that..but I am worried.

If I had heard that Ebay BS...I would of known that immediately they didn't sell ammo, or guns. An empty clip is a different story.(even if I was interested in buying a gun or ammo and found out Ebay didn't sell that, I find it strange he would even go back and look there for a clip) ..although I still find it strange he would buy a clip seperately, I don't know why, I just do...you would think he could get all of that together somewhere else a lot easier.....who knows, only he does with that twisted mind of his.

Are they going to apologize, correct their facts...doubtful, but even if they do it will be at the end of something like the show...and they will spin that too, in their favor, as if they were just mislead, instead of checking their lazy selves.

Ebay!?! Say it isn't so! I wonder if he bought his socks at Wal*Mart.

Aside from the opportunity to get the facts wrong, why is this a story at all?  I am a user of ebay. Does this make me suspect?

This sick individual is solely responsible for his own actions.  Not Ebay, not video games, not American culture, not rich kids, not gun dealers, not arms manufacturers, not evan Wal*Mart, he alone was responsible.  He wanted to be famous - the Drive-By media have made it so.

If I had been a news director, the story would have been handled differently.  Even if it ment poor ratings.

Do you know the difference between a "clip" and a "magazine"?

If you want to be politically and technically correct, you must remember that a "magazine" is loaded by (or with) a "clip". For instance the magazine of an M1 Rifle is loaded with an eight round "en-bloc"  clip. On the other hand you insert a fresh magazine in your faithful .45. The 1903 Magazine Rifle (as it was originally called) was loaded and reloaded with a 5 round "stripper clip" as was the 1917 Enfield. The Krag Rifle’s "magazine" was loaded with loose rounds out of a cartridge belt. An M14 Rifle was loaded and reloaded with fresh 20 round "magazines", but on the other hand, the 20 round magazine (if it left in the rifle) could be reloaded with  5 round stripper clips using the "clip slot"(or more correctly, "charger guide") on top of the receiver.

     All this probably doesn’t make a tremendous amount of difference, but if you like "snob appeal" you can revel in your superior knowledge as you reload your .45 with a new magazine or reload your M1 with a fresh clip!
 

ABC is purposfully using the tragedy at VT to further spread FUD (fear, uncertainty and doubt) about the issue of guns, and the 2nd amendment. they are specifically frying to make it seem that "gun stuff" (that's how they probably think of it) is just too easily available to wackos.

They are too caught up in their own world of thinking to be bothered to find out, much less report, the differences between ammo, magazines, clips, etc.
