Default I'm glad someone didn't buy this!

$100K for a serial killers gun? That is crazy! In my opinion, they'd have to pay me to take it! Too many bad vibes hang around that thing.

Dan Wessons are nice weapons but I don't think worth 100K.

Anyway, a gun is only a tool. It is neither good nor evil. Nor do guns retain the karma of their owner.

I agree. Guns don't kill, people kill. Guns only help a bit.

You could still use the gun as a club!

But my gun always tells me "See that guy? Shoot him", that means it IS evil!

Anyone remember the stupid but funny TV series "Sledge Hammer"?

He used to call his gun "Mike" and talked with it about killing people

Are you by chance possessed by the ghost of Seung-Hui Cho?

He bunkmate said that he heard him talking one night to himself and he asked him what he was doing. He said, "Listening to the voices. It's OK; they like you."

You mean the guy whose last words were "It's okay - I know what I'm doing"?

The reason I was happy that no one bought it is not that the gun might carry some form of evil, but the simple fact you are once again hyping serial killers and their reputations. They should really be struck from peoples minds and forgotten about by society, but the fact that we don't means more whacko idiots will want the same fame. not a good scenario.

Don't be ridiculous, dogs can't talk!

As for the gun, I don't see a point in buying it as well, there's absolutely no reason to
