Cho got his ammo at the local Walmart.

[Raven]

Just reported on NPR. Another wonderful community contribution brought to you by Walmart.

[Buzz Clik]

1. And Michael Moore ragged all over K-Mart in "Bowling for Columbine"

You can buy ammunition just about any place.

[elocs]

2. What if it is or had been very difficult to purchase ammo without an extensive background check?

There is no Constitutional protection for ammunition and it should not be as easy to buy as a six pack of beer.

[Buzz Clik]

6. I'd love to see a solution.

I'd even enjoy watching a civilized debate on the issue. Until both sides are in agreement, nothing will happen.

[TX-RAT]

11. Wouldn't have changed a thing. He passed a background check.

It was perfectly legal for him to purchase the gun, it would have been legal to purchase ammo also.

[elocs]

22. Change the law. Because an idea might not have worked in this situation does not make it invalid.

Just because it is legal and easy to purchase a gun doe not mean it should be as easy and legal to go into WalMart and buy ammunition.

[jean]

3. Precisely. Raise the price of ammo and requite serial numbers on every damn bullet

[scrinmaster]

18. How would that have stopped anything?

[jean]

21. maybe ... if ammo was cost-prohibitive, maybe a gunman could afford fewer bullets, fewer shots taken

lives saved. Who knows? As it stands, guns and ammo are cheap and easily accessible.

[jakem]

4. Hey, why pay more?

[Buzz Clik]

7. True, but you risk buying nothing but cheap crap.

[Squatch]

8. WalMart carries name-brand ammo, much cheaper than other stores

Names like Remington, Winchester, UMC, among others.

[Show_Me _The_Truth]

10. Just picked up 200 Rounds of UMC .223 and 500 of 9mm for a good price.

Wal-Mart is good for ammo. Get all my Shotgun ammo for turkey and dove season there.

[jakem]

9. Sorry, left out the :sarcasm: i guess...

I miss the days when sarcasm could be not tagged.

I neither buy from walmart, nor do I buy ammo for anything.

[Buzz Clik]

13. Hey, I got the joke. Mine was a joke, too.

[jakem]

14. Maybe we should ban sarcasm on DU, so there is no more confusion.

:sarcasm:

[Buzz Clik]

16. We definitely should ban discussions about handguns...

and Walmart.

[jakem]

17. Hey, when talking about outlaws is outlawed...

Only the outlawed have conversations about outlaws?

I need more coffee...

[Buzz Clik]

19. Hmmm... that would make a great bumper sticker.

"I'll quick talking about banning guns...when you cut out my cold, dead tongue."

[postulater]

5. Wonder if he got his drugs there too.

[roamer65]

12. Why am I not surprised?

[Atman]

15. And he saved $5 a box!

Got a great deal on a crate of tube sox, too.

[aikoaiko]

20. Ammo at Walmart -- the only thing not made in China.

:shrug:

[BlooInBloo]

23. And he ate at Burger King! Boycott the King!!!! Sheesh.

There are all sorts of reasons to hate walmart - there's no need to make up idiotic ones.
