At Least We've Learned from Our Mistakes...

MADISON, Wis. - The online gun dealer who sold a weapon to the Virginia Tech shooter said it was an unnerving coincidence that he also sold handgun accessories to the man who killed five students at Northern Illinois University.

Eric Thompson said his Web site, [removed by Greenbandit], 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.
Another Web site run by Thompson's company, [removed by Greenbandit], also 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 Friday. "I'm shaking. I can't believe somebody would order from us again and do this."
Removed links to prevent driving up his webtraffic (not that this site is going to drive a lot his way). If you're really curious about his websites, the original article has them linked. The skills needed to run a business don't really depend on what you're selling. If this guy is as shaken as he says he is, why not go into a different line of work?
