Looks like everyone's favourite homicidal maniac's endorsement carries some weight. I wonder if his estate gets a referral bonus.

Green Bay gun dealer sold supplies to NIU shooter

By Scott Bauer
The Associated Press

A Green Bay-based Internet gun dealer who sold a weapon to the Virginia Tech shooter last year sold handgun accessories to the man who killed five people at Northern Illinois University on Thursday

Eric Thompson said today that his Web site, www.topglock.com, sold two empty 9 mm Glock magazines and a Glock holster to Steven Kazmierczak on Feb. 4, just 10 days before the 27-year-old opened fire in a classroom and killed five before committing suicide.

The order was shipped Monday and records of the sale provided to The Associated Press by Thompson show Kazmierczak received the order on Tuesday.

Kazmierczak carried a rifle and three handguns into the classroom Thursday. Thompson said he had no idea whether the shooter was using the holster or magazines he sold. Each magazine can hold 33 bullets. Thompson said his site did not sell Kazmierczak any bullets or guns.

Authorities said two of the weapons he used in the shooting � the pump-action Remington shotgun and a Glock 9mm handgun � were purchased legally Feb. 9 in Champaign, Ill., where Kazmierczak was a student.

This is the second time that a Web site run by Thompson�s company, TGSCOM, Inc., has been connected with a campus shooting. Another Thompson site, www.thegunsource.com, sold a Walther .22-caliber handgun to Seung-Hui Cho, who killed 32 people in April on the Virginia Tech campus before killing himself.

�I�m still blown away by the coincidences,� Thompson said today. �I�m shaking. I can�t believe somebody would order from us again and do this.�

Thompson said he checked his sales records after the name of the shooter was made public today. Those records show the sale made to Kazmierczak for a total price of $105.62. The items were shipped to an apartment in Champaign and signed for by someone other than Kazmierczak.

Thompson said he contacted the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives within five minutes of realizing the latest connection shortly after 9:30 a.m. today.

Thompson said his Web site is well-known among gun users on the Internet so it is not surprising that someone looking for accessories for a Glock would find it. But being tied to both of the shootings is �unnerving,� he said.

�I still feel just absolutely in shock,� he said. �I feel like I was run over by a truck.�

Thompson said he has no way of knowing whether Kazmierczak found out about his Web site from the publicity it got after the Virginia Tech shootings, but the thought crossed his mind. The Web site did see an increase in traffic after that shooting, he said. Thompson said he also received many phone calls and threats.

He said he�s worried the same thing will happen this time around. But he decided to go public because he thought the public has a right to know as much as it can about the shooter and not feed off of rumors or lies.

What would a glock-dealer think someone was going to do with his product? Farm?

Talk about becoming instantly "notorious" for supplying schoolshooters with accessories to complete their dastardly deed......


In all seriousness-- these incidents are becoming too many too close together to be called "seldom occurances".
I know that at the campus where I am studying at, alot of students and faculty are now abit edgy these days.......you never know where (or by who for that matter) these things will happen anymore.......

That news is still tripped out to me. That's the university that I went to. Before, NIU was known for where Dan Castellaneta (the voice of Homer Simpson) went to school. Now it's known for something else.

Everyone knows that if all US citizens had guns there would be no gun crime!!!!

Unless I got something wrong reading right wing Americana's blogs

Sarcasm isn't something you understand, is it?

[rusty1983]

Well if you will have laws that allow guns then people might get shot. Guns are designed to kill people, guess that laws working out alrght then eh?

The only way to stop gun violence to stop people from having guns. How many people have been shot in South Korea this year? How many guns are available here?
