Connecticut store that sold gun to Newtown shooter's mom loses license
Connecticut store that sold gun to Newtown shooter's mom loses license From ASSOCIATED PRESS Last Updated: 3:05 PM, April 5, 2013 Posted: 9:15 AM, April 5, 2013 NEW HAVEN, Conn. — A shop that sold a gun to the Newtown school shooter's mother has lost its federal firearms license.
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives revoked the license of Riverview Gun Sales in East Windsor in December. The agency, which confirmed the revocation to reporters Thursday, didn't say why.
Authorities raided the store for undisclosed reasons shortly after the December school shootings in which Adam Lanza killed 20 first-graders and six adults at Sandy Hook Elementary School. He also shot to death his mother, Nancy, at their home. Authorities say he fired 154 shots with a Bushmaster .223-caliber rifle inside the school, then killed himself with a Glock handgun.

Just so you know there were reasons they had some one steal several guns from the store that the store workers new. The person walked out of the store in the middle of the day with a AR and no one noticed then he came back and tried to take a Barrett 50 cal and they chased him and he droped it in the parking lot.
This all happened shortly after the Newtown incident
The police fond the person at a hotel after his family called saying he was off his meds and was angry at his employer who had fired him.
Another mental health issue.
Also Riverview had been in trouble before with weapons missing issues.Last edited by Wraith724; April 5th, 2013 at 08:24 PM.
